Artflow Alliance Spotlights Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole with Exclusive Interview for January Issue

I’ve been grateful to have my work featured in artist updates over the past few months in the Artflow Alliance Insider e-newsletter, but this latest issue is extra special and I think my art collectors will agree.

Dominique Sahms reached out to me saying that she wanted to kick off 2026 in a unique way. Focusing the first issue of the year embracing and acknowledging the importance of how the light and our own shadows are both essential for personal growth and creative expression. Therefore she felt my wide range of “whimsical meets macabre” style creations aligned perfectly with her vision and wanted me to be the Artist Spotlight for the January issue. I was honored to be asked and really enjoyed answering the questions that Dominique used for picking my brain so she could learn more about the visions that paint the walls inside.

The end result was her doing an incredible write up about me and my work which you can now read on Medium or via the LinkedIn article she published.

You can also find this artist spotlight interview and more examples of where my art has been featured on the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. And if you are interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and make some magic together!

Exciting news! You’ve seen the t-shirts I designed to champion the message for us artists that “AI can never replace our human touch”. Well now there’s an additional way to support this mission with my new Anti AI Art Sticker Packs!

So whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, these sticker packs are your chance to really stick it to the bots! Use them to deck out your car, laptop, water bottle, sketchbook, or anywhere else you want to show off your support for human creativity.

Each pack includes 1 sticker of each of the following designs:
✨️ 3″x 3″ I Support Human Handmade Art Circle Logo
✨️ 3″x 3″ Living Dead Girl Nicole Bride Circle Logo Holographic
✨️ 3″x 3″ I Support Human Handmade Art Circle Logo Holographic
✨️ 6″x 1.64″ I Support Human Handmade Art Logo

Every sticker is professionally printed on premium vinyl with a permanent adhesive and coated with a protective laminate, making them waterproof, scratch-proof, and built to last. They come in holographic sealed packaging (as shown in the photos above), making them perfect for gifting!

In a world where technology is rapidly evolving, it’s more important than ever to remind ourselves of what makes us human. So if you’re ready to stick up for us human artists, purchase your sticker packs (and made-to-order t-shirts) for a limited time in my Etsy shop or in person at a discounted rate* at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. Don’t forget to also share this post to help spread the word.

*Price is discounted from online store prices. Etsy listings reflect the unfortunate amount of shop and transaction fees they charge us artists to sell online. If you are local or traveling to Illinois, I encourage my clients to save money and see my work on full display by shopping my artwork in person with my consignment partner, Closet Collectibles where they truly support my creative endeavors to the fullest as their resident local artist.
