Bite-Sized Monsterpieces Are Here! 👹🖼️

Posted on by

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been checking off and conjuring up fun new creations off my art bucket list for the Unruly Art Market. With the show quickly approaching this weekend, you can expect to hear lots of updates here leading up to the show on Sunday!

Next on my list to share are for those of you that love collecting my Monsterpieces, especially the mini 3×3″ and 4×4″ versions. Well, I have been wanting to make them in even more sizes and to my luck I discovered 2×2″ canvases that aligned perfectly with my “tiny” little vision. With that being said I am excited to finally share my Bite-Sized Monsterpieces!

This first batch will be making their debut at the show and I can’t even begin to tell you how freaking adorable they are in person.

These miniature monster masterpieces come perched on their own hand-painted easel, bringing personality and fun wherever you display them. And like my other Monsterpieces, these little guys are also made from a pre-wrapped (on wood) canvas that I’ve transformed into a three-dimensional creature with glossy hypnotic eyes, wild faux hair, rubbery flesh and drooling grins. And as you can see a few of them don’t mind exposing their horns to the right person as well.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ These tiny creatures won’t take up much space on your desk, shelf, or wherever you display them
✨ They bring strange and unique three-dimensional mixed-media magic to your decor
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches yours
✨ They are guaranteed to spark curious conversations
✨ They are collectible handmade art pieces you won’t find at any big box store, making them unique and highly giftable

As pictured, these eight pre-made bite-sized beasts are ready to bond and protect their forever humans. Since they are hand made and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same. This means the one you adopt was meant for you and only you.

Anyone attending the Unruly Art Market on Sunday will get first dibs on adopting them. Any Bite-Sized Monsterpieces still searching for their chosen human after the event will be added to my Etsy shop for online shoppers and placed inside my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles for those who wish to see and adopt one in person.*

Do not miss your chance to invite one of these adorable, whimsical little creatures with monstrous personalities into your world.

Stay Strange & Magical ✨

Weird Professional Zine No. 2 Features “Walk On The Wild Side”Artwork By Living Dead Girl Nicole 👾✨

If you enjoyed seeing me and so many talented LinkedIn ‘weirdlings’ 👾 featured in the debut issue of the Weird Professional Zine, then you are really going to enjoy what everyone has compiled for Issue No. 2. Not only is there more content than the debut issue, but the zine has sponsors now as well.

For this issue, we were encouraged to design our own page(s), and apparently mine is instantly recognizable because, as so many people have told me, my ‘branding is on point.’ I guess my 15 years of marketing experience finally has its benefits for something on LinkedIn. Now if only those skills could pay the bills and their platform would actually help me land a legit job. 🙃

For my submission I decided to use my “Walk On The Wild Side” portrait I did of Howie Mandel and Maurice from Little Monsters. I felt it really encapsulates the strange fun vibe of the literary mag. Ironically I had submitted my page months prior to getting invited to Howie’s show and getting to meet him, so the universe really was aligned with this one and apparently my intuition was on point as well.

Weird Professional Magazine Issue 2

Here is a how my finished page looks published in the zine….

Weird Professional Magazine Living Dead Girl Nicole Feature

👀 Be sure to give the online version of the whole zine a look through and discover all the weird and wonderful things everyone submitted. It will be available on Flipbook (for 1 year) and you can also purchase a print copy (pre-orders are open until June 1st) as well.

🤩 A big shoutout to our Fellowship Of The Weird Editor-in-Chief, Ambra Hubert 🦄 for continuing to make this literary magazine possible and for giving all of us ‘weirdlings’ 👾 a platform to express ourselves without judgment!

Being a part of unique projects like this is exactly why I love sharing my work publicly.

If you don’t want to miss the fun ways my artwork is being featured be sure to subscribe here (it’s free) and bookmarking 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 start making some magic together!

Evil Eye Of Protection Charmsters Are Here! 👹🧿

Posted on by

For the last few months I have been creating like crazy in preparation for the Unruly Art Market taking place next weekend. It’s been a bit chaotic juggling so many projects at once, but its also been motivating me to finally conjure up so many visions that have been waiting to be checked off my art bucket list.

Not everything is ready to be revealed just yet. Many are literally drying as I type this, but I am excited to finally share four new little Monstrosities that are ready to make their debut.

They are hand sculpted, hand painted wearable monster charm pendants that I call Charmsters. And this first batch is extra magical because each one was created with its very own ancient symbol of protection, also known as “the evil eye.” They are my unique way of transforming an ordinary necklace into a pocket sized talisman of chaos, comfort, and spooky charm.

Charmsters Evil Eye Monster Charm Necklaces By Living Dead Girl Nicole

Like all of my Monstrosities, each Charmster has its own mischievous personality, but these little guardians do more than just look delightfully strange. They keep a watchful eye open to ward off negativity, bad vibes, and jealous energy while protecting their chosen human. 👹🧿

These 1.5″ x 2″ toothy grinned protectors are perfect for those who love a little eccentricity mixed with spiritual energy in their style. Each one comes ready to wear with a black waxed faux leather 20″ necklace cord featuring a lobster clasp and 2″ extension chain.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ Unlike my other Monstrosities, these tiny guardians can accompany you wherever you roam
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches yours
✨ Uniquely created with the ancient evil eye symbol to help ward off negativity, bad vibes, and jealous energy
✨ They are the perfect everyday talisman for lovers of the strange and magical
✨ They are guaranteed to spark compliments and curious conversations
✨ They are collectible handmade art pieces you won’t find at any big box store, making them unique and highly giftable

As pictured, four of these little Charmsters are pre-made and ready to bond with their forever human. Since they are hand made and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same. This means the one you adopt was meant for you and only you.

Anyone attending the Unruly Art Market next weekend will get first dibs on adopting them. Any Charmsters still searching to bond with their chosen human after the event will be added to my Etsy shop for online shoppers and placed inside my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles for those who wish to see and adopt one in person.*

Do not miss your chance to invite one of these whimsical little guardians with monstrous personalities into your wardrobe and adventures. You may get some jealous stares from those who didn’t act quickly enough, but no worries, they were literally made for that!
