After another memorable Flashback Weekend horror con, I submitted photos of my husband and I meeting Svengoolie and gifting him my hand drawn “You’re All Grown Up Now” split face portrait (in the customized frame I made for it).

I was excited to get an email back from MeTv telling me the photos were selected to be featured on the Svengoolie website! 😱

I am honored to have my work in the spotlight on his page, so please take a moment to go check it out amongst the other Svengoolian fan photos and if you are new here, you can find this spotlight amongst the other unique places my artwork has been featured by visiting and bookmarking the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

If you are interested in showcasing my work on your website, in your next publication, exhibition, social media spotlights or creative ventures let’s connect and make some magic together!

Gwengoolie Glamour Ghoul Decay Barrette Handcrafted By Living Dead Girl Nicole 💚🐔🖤

To say this ghoul has been deeply inspired by the Svengoolieverse would be quite the understatement. Not only did I finish my split face portrait, “You’re All Grown Up Now” as a tribute to Jerry G. Bishop and Rich Koz, but I also conjured up a one-of-a-kind campy but spooky fun frame for it! While working on the frame it hit me that I wasn’t quite done being inspired by these local legends just yet!

I got to thinking about how its been a little while since I have been commissioned to make one of my Dead Girl Decay barrettes. At times I miss making them for my art collectors and even more so when they give me a theme to go off of. Then it hit me.. I must make one for Gwengoolie!

I just adore Sarah “Pin-Up Palmer” and her transformation into the undead glamour ghoul on House of Svengoolie. She’s GOREgeous, sassy and her psychobilly vibes are such a fun edition to the Sven Squad. She often adds floral hair pieces to her look both on and off screen and it got me thinking of how killer it would be for her to have one of my Dead Girl Decay barrettes in her collection. So I started researching and digging into my crypt of supplies and once I conjured up everything I needed it all came together spooktacularly!

Elsa helped me by doing a little photo shoot today so I could take some pictures showing how it looks in her hair. She sits next to me in my Morticia Addams wicker chair in the corner of my home art studio, so she also got to watch the entire creative process. I think she was bit bummed when she realized she doesn’t get to keep it. Can’t say that I blame her. It looks so ghoul on her!

Now my goal is to get this special handmade hair piece to Sarah before Elsa tries to claim it for herself. And maybe, just maybe one day we may see Gwengoolie rocking it on tv. Am I nightmaring again? Of corpse! But I like to keep the mindset of “never say never” because over the years my art has opened up doors and been featured in ways I never thought imaginable and all because I enjoy using my talents to gift back to those who spark my creativity. ⚡️🖤✨

Heather Creatively Displays her Charmsters made by Living Dead Girl Nicole 🧿👹🖼️

Since my Evil Eye of Protection Charmster necklaces are pieces of wearable handmade art, my art collector Heather has decided to put them in mini frames to display them whenever she isn’t wearing them!

I would be lying if I said I didn’t get super giddy seeing these photos she sent me. I just love seeing my Monstrosities being loved by their mortals and getting special treatment from the wickedly cool and creative people who are drawn to adopting them.

“I was so excited they didn’t sell (at the Unruly Art Market) so I could scoop them up. They’re necklaces, and when they’re not being worn- I added these thrifted frames to them-to display & enjoy them. They’re so silly, and they make me smile.” – Heather on Instagram

If you’re new here, be sure to check out Heather’s photos alongside other happy art collector photos and video submissions that are featured on the Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website.

For those who are discovering these Charmsters for the very first time, I have only have 2 left! You can adopt them online in my Etsy shop or in person from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL!

And if you are looking to add some unique & “magical” flare to your world, skip the big box stores and shop my creations! Already have? Then be sure to take photos or videos of yourself rocking, displaying, or even gifting my art and contact me to be featured!

Stay Strange & Magical ✨
