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. 🪦

Do you dig handmade horror decor? Be sure to check out the Adopt The Undead and Remains pages of my portfolio site to see some of the other creations these claws have conjured. Looking to have a set of these made to celebrate an eternal union? Contact me for more information or reserve your custom order today!

Closet Collectibles Art Drop and Restock Alert 👀 🛍️

Now that September has passed and my Soundgrowler Artist of The Month Display time is over, I made a trip this weekend to Closet Collectibles and restocked and rearranged my Cabinets of Curiosities for all of my in-store art collectors*!

So be sure to take a moment this spooky season to escape the aisles of cheaply made imported Halloween “decor” that anyone can buy and get your claws on some human made, unique collectible art you can’t get anywhere else. By doing so you are not only supporting me as an artist but you will also be supporting an incredible small business who believes in me.

Not in Illinois? My Etsy shop is always open and ready for my out of state collectors.

And.. don’t forget, I still have rare canvas prints (that come complete with Certificates of Authentication) on display and available to purchase at both the Evolved Art Gallery’s Bloodsuckers: Art Of The Undead Exhibition (running in person and online through October 31st) & The Chicago Fine Art Salon’s Chicago Icons Exhibition (running in person and online through November 6th). By purchasing these pieces during these exhibitions you are not only showing the galleries that my work is worthy of their wall space but you are also showing your support for galleries that are doing incredible things for our art community.

When I was at the shop this weekend I also did a little rearranging of my display.

For those that don’t make it into the shop this week will hear the exciting news when it is announced here in the upcoming days, so stay tuned to your inboxes!

The All Hallow’s Potster Collection Has Bloomed! 🕷️🪴👹

After my brightly colored, sparkly and quirky spring variety of Potsters completely sold out, I couldn’t resist getting my claws into “gardening” again. Little did I know that by switching things up to a lush bed of hand-dyed graveyard moss, blood-red aura quartz charged by a lunar eclipse, and welcoming a little spider friend into each hand-painted terracotta pot, that I would conjure up a new variety of Potsters that would sprout oversized fangs, black foliage, spooky seasonal colored petals, and some wickedly adorable personalities.

So as an artist turned impromptu botanist once again, I am very excited to officially share my Limited Edition All Hallow’s Potster Collection. Four vampy little Potster Monstrosities exclusively for autumn and Halloween season (or if you’re like me, spooky it up all year long)!

No glittery sparkle was added to bright green moss or the hand painted pots this time, instead I hand dyed the moss giving it a darker grave yard vibe and gave the pots a metallic sheen. I substituted the clear crystal quartz from the spring variety with blood-red aura quartz. I also gave each of them a little spider friend to keep them company while their energy sparked during the lunar eclipse. Their disk florets didn’t form into adorable golden brown faces but instead silvery black with macabre sass. And instead of snaggle toothed grins smiling up at you, they snap back with venomous oversized fangs.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ Allergy free and low maintenance (they love being charged under the full moon from time to time)
✨ They’re perfect as forever greenery for your crypt or as a floral gift for your favorite fiend
✨ Each one has a unique personality/spooky season color, choose the one(s) that matches your vibe
✨ They are guaranteed to spark curious conversations and won’t snap back (unless provoked)
✨ They are collectible pieces of art you won’t find at any big box or Halloween stores

As pictured, these four pre-made botanical beasties are ready to find their forever humans and add a uniqueness to your spooky season (or every day) decor. Since they are handmade and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same. Meaning they will only take root for the human they were destined to grow for.

They have already made their debut in my Etsy shop and are available to purchase for online shoppers. Any that have not been adopted by the time I make my next art drop at Closet Collectibles will be also be added to my Cabinets of Curiosities display for local collectors who wish to see and adopt one in person.*

Don’t miss your chance to add a bit of spooky fun, crystal-conjured botany to your monster menagerie! 🕷️🪴💎✨
