0

If you subscribed to the Artflow Alliance Insider last month, after Dominique Sahms featured my idea of an Art Gifting Guide that showcased several of my handmade creations, then you should have already received the December issue in your inbox as of yesterday. However, if you are not subscribed yet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear that the Anti-AI Art shirts and sticker packs I designed, are being showcased in this month’s issue.

For those just learning about them, you can buy these professionally made-to-order t-shirts or pre-made sticker packs in my Etsy shop. Sticker packs are also available to purchase in person at a discounted in-store price** when shopping my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL! So whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, show your support by purchasing them today.

Also In this issue of Artflow Alliance Insider you will find a reminder about the free Haunted Histories Virtual Art Exhibition that features two of my art pieces and ends on December 31st. If you haven’t had a chance to get a spooky art fix in yet, now is the perfect time to check it out before the year ends.

You can find these and more examples of where my artwork 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 or exhibition, let’s connect and make some magic together!

Stay Strange & Magical, ✨

New Tim Burton Art Flare For Your Holiday Decor! ❄️💀

0

The holidays are upon us, and it’s the perfect time to add a little dark whimsy to your festive decor. To help support this mission, I’m excited to offer 4-inch clear acrylic snowflake ornaments, featuring giclee prints of my pencil and charcoal portrait “What Nightmares Are Made Of” (which is currently on display at Beetlehouse LA)!

Each ornament contains two professionally printed giclee images sealed within the acrylic, ensuring the artwork is not only protected but visible from both sides. It comes ready to hang with a sleek silver cord, making it an effortless way to give your Yule or Christmas tree a truly unique twist for years to come. 🎄❄️✨

But why stop at the holidays? This ornament is also perfect for displaying year-round alongside your Tim Burton or Nightmare Before Christmas collection and spooky decor. Think of it as a little unique artistic nod to your inner Pumpkin King or Queen. 💀🎃✨

I only have four of these ornaments in stock, so if you want one for yourself or as a gift for that special Sally in your life, grab one while you can! They’re available in my Etsy shop and if you are local you can take advantage of my discounted in-store pricing** by purchasing them directly from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL! I made a special art drop visit to the store on Friday, and it was packed with collectors hunting for unique treasures, so don’t wait too long to get yours.

As always, please also share this post and help remind everyone that choosing artists and small local businesses this holiday season helps keep creativity and our communities thriving. 🛍🎁✨

Lydia Unboxes 80s Pop Culture Art by Living Dead Girl Nicole

2

My newest art collector, Lydia, discovered my artwork after we connected over our artistic outlets of expression (give this girl a harp or piano and you won’t be disappointed) as well as our mutual pop-culture obsessions on LinkedIn. When I learned she also has a soft spot for Jeff Goldblum, it felt perfectly fitting to see an Etsy order come through from her for a canvas print of my “Insect Politics” split-face portrait of Brundlefly. And because we both share a deep love of 80s kids’ nostalgia, it made total sense that she would take the opportunity to snatch up one of my Limited Edition Totally 80’s sticker packs while I still had some in stock.

True to her generous spirit, Lydia didn’t just enjoy her new art privately, she shared the excitement by posting an unboxing video across her social media, snapping a great photo of her purchase, and even left a heartfelt 5-star Etsy review that absolutely made my day.

“I am a HUGE Jeff Goldblum fan and was thrilled with this beautiful art of Jeff and the Fly! The hand drawn stickers of Pee Wee, Labyrinth, Little Monsters are amazing with detail! Beautiful pieces of art and excited to add these to my 80s collection. 💕🙂” – Lydia B. on Etsy

It’s collectors like Lydia that remind me that those who really get my art will one day discover and love it as much as I did creating it. I am so honored to have my work on display in the happy space of her home filled with so much rad 80’s nostalgia!

If you’re new here, be sure to check out Lydia’s photo and video submissions featured alongside some of my other happy art collectors on the Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website.

And if you are looking for an extremely talented harpist and pianist, or an enthusiastic travel agent, be sure to connect with Lydia on Linkedin! She also has a travel vlog diary on Youtube, a Spotify channel for those looking to zen out to her music, and a totally tubular 80s themed TikTok for those who are feeling nostalgic! Find and support them all here!

Looking for some new art for your collection or to add some unique spark to a special space in your home? Shop my creations! And if you already have, be sure to take photos or a video of yourself rocking or displaying my artwork and contact me to be featured!

Staci Layne Wilson Does Feature Write Up on Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole for Women In Horror

1

Recently I received a message from the incredibly talented Staci Layne Wilson. Yes, the same Staci Layne Wilson best known for being a powerhouse author, reporter, and filmmaker in the horror and rock genre worlds. Although Staci and I have never met in person, our paths have crossed numerous times over the years through the overlapping of online communities that inspire our work. So hearing from her was not unexpected, but her asking to do a special feature write up about me and my artwork for Women In Horror was quite a lovely surprise.

She asked if I would be open to a Q and A that would help her take a little deep dive into the unique inner world that shapes the wide range of art that I create, and knowing how talented and impactful Staci’s writing is, of corpse I said yes. She took the insights from our interview and transformed them into a write up that I am genuinely excited to share with all of you.

Women In Horror Features Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

Nicole Garcia doesn’t just create art, she resurrects it, corpsifies it, and occasionally sticks a dead rat in its mouth for good measure. Known professionally as Living Dead Girl Nicole, this multi-disciplinary artist has carved out her own delightfully twisted niche in the horror art world.Read more here!

For those not familiar with Staci’s Women In Horror project, here is a snippet from their website to help you become familiar with their mission…

As you know, I am always eager to support my horror family, and it is a true honor to find myself featured alongside so many fierce and visionary women who keep the genre alive and thriving. I am endlessly grateful to Staci for giving my work this incredible spotlight, and to all of you who continue walking with me through this whimsical and macabre world of my creative journey.
