Jarsters Debut At Closet Collectibles!

Posted on by

This weekend my husband Frank and I had a great time supporting my consignment partner Closet Collectibles who hosted their first toy show. The whole community center was filled with vendors (I didn’t get photos of everyone due to the angles of the room), they had a food truck, a hot dog and snack stand, raffles and constant foot traffic of treasure hunters coming and going all day long. So happy the event was such a huge success for them and all the vendors involved. It was great being able to network with so many new faces and reconnect with many familiar ones as well.

After the show we went back to the shop to do an art drop. Since some of my larger items have sold out I was able to re-arrange a few things and give my Jarsters 👹🫙 their official debut in my Cabinets of Curiosities.

That’s right you can now go see these adorable mischievous faces and adopt them in person at Closet Collectibles! I promise you that pictures do not do them justice and they are already having fun grinning at shoppers from the cabinet window hoping someone has a stash of herbs, spells, secrets, wishes, and other tiny treasures they need help protecting! ✨️

As always, my art collectors who choose to shop my work in person at Closet Collectibles (vs online in my Etsy shop) receive discounted “support local” in-store pricing** so be sure to go check everything out, stock up, share this post, and tell Chris and the gang that “Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!”

Turning My Art Upside Down With a Hand Sculpted Stranger Things Upgrade

With all of us highly anticipating the next chapter of Stranger Things hitting our screens this week, I have been deep in inspiration mode, anxious in all the good ways to create something special for my art collectors as we wait to see what happens next to what remains of our beloved Hellfire Club.

So I started off with a freshly printed 8×10″ giclee print of my “Pretty Bitchin'” split face portrait of Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven (in Seasons 1 and 2) and got a nice new frame for it. But let’s be real, my plan was never to just put it in a nice frame. Like so many characters in the show, I had a vision. And that vision was to turn this frame Upside Down, literally. What followed was a full Vecna-infested transformation. 🙃

I hand sculpted, painted, and lacquered the frame to bring my idea to life, and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Much like the visual effects and branding of the show, color played a huge role in the process. Blue representing the everyday human world, with red symbolizing the dark reflection of the Upside Down realm. I wanted both energies present, with the Upside Down slowly taking over and warping everything into one twisted reality surrounding Eleven.

And since I know we are all counting down the minutes until the next chapter airs, I made a special art drop visit to Closet Collectibles yesterday to add this special piece to my Cabinets of Curiosities. It is also now available to purchase online in my Etsy shop for those who are not local and need to shop from their own dimension.

As always, my art collectors who choose to shop my work in-person at Closet Collectibles vs online in my Etsy shop do benefit from discounted in-store pricing** so if you are local or in the area be sure to stop by, check out my work, and get your hands on this one-of-a-kind piece of art framed in art before a Demogorgon decides to snatch it up and drag it off to his dark corner in the Vale of Shadows.
