Another Undead Bride & Groom Dug Up by the Claws of Living Dead Girl Nicole 🧟‍♂️💒🧟‍♀️

These corpsified love birds shipped out to their new tomb sweet tomb this past week and I am so happy to finally get to share them here with my art collectors.

Whenever I get a commission request to make a set of these undead bride and groom decor pieces, I feel so honored. Being a former non-traditional Halloween bride myself, I love when other couples do what reflects who they truly are instead of following some boring set protocol for their special day. So to have someone choose my custom hand made creations to be a part of their milestone moment is truly very special to me.

Sometimes people use these for their cake toppers, some use them for wedding reception, anniversary or engagement party decor, and some even have them made as one-of-a-kind gifts to celebrate that unique couple who is getting married or celebrating a milestone anniversary. For this particular set I was commissioned to include a groom with brown eyes and black hair and a bride with green eyes and long blonde hair. Both with 2 eyes and the wedding color for the bride’s veil flower being black. I also started a new process of including a new type of faux moss on these which allowed me to also add it to the bottom of each piece for a nice graveyard effect. A little something extra that I feel makes them even more fun to display. 🪦

Happy October 1st my Freaky Fanatics! I have some fun and exciting news to share with all of you! Night Terror Magazine just released Issue 25 of their killer publication today and this one is extra special. The Of The Land & Winter Wails Issue is not only a community issue but it’s also their first quarterly issue and it features a very ghoul Holiday Gift Guide spotlighting small businesses that were hand selected by their editors…. including mine!

How fun are these graphics they created for the social post announcements….

This literary mag is filled with incredible folklore and short stories from the very talented horror community and although you can scroll the pages digitally online, I highly recommend purchasing a print copy. Not just for that nostalgic feeling of reading something in your hand that isn’t on a screen, but also to see all the hard work that goes into every page this publication puts together. You can find my work and shop featured in the gift guide section on page 60 of the digital zine (screen shot below) and can also order a copy in their shop on their website.

For those not familiar with Night Terror Magazine here is a snippet about them and why I was honored to be chosen to be a part of what they are producing:

Authors, artists, creatives, and enthusiasts make up this incredible community and it’s our mission to provide a platform to encompass the creative sphere. Night Terror supports the artistic liberation of self-publishing and empowers independent creators in the horror genre.

If you are not one of my art collectors (yet) and just happened to randomly discover this post on my blog page, be sure to subscribe while you are here so you don’t miss future announcements of the unique ways my artwork is being featured. You can also check out and bookmark the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

And if you are someone interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and start making 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. ⚡️🖤✨

Living Dead Girl Nicole Massacres Fleshy Frame for New Art Collector 🪚🖼

Most of my art collectors commission me to create my horror decor frames in my decayed corpse blue-grey style, so I was really hyped that after I finished my recent commission to make one in toxic wasteland green, another custom order came through requesting that I make one in my necromancer massacre flesh style.

This particular order was for an 8″x10″ frame with brown eyes and I am really excited to be able to share how it came out…

This fleshy frame is now on it’s way to its new owner, but if you want a unique way to resurrect your horror con memories, Halloween party photos, or need a killer display piece for your gothic wedding or spooky business ventures, visit my Etsy shop and place your order to have one of these killer frames custom made for you. They are hand sculpted over brand new 8″×10″ or 5″×7″ picture frames and like all of my handmade creations no two are ever exactly alike, adding to the fun of it being uniquely made for you or whoever you gift them to.

New to my work? Be sure to check out the other Undead Decor (and much more) that I have hand crafted and featured on my official portfolio website!
