“You’re All Grown Up Now” a Tribute to Svengoolie by Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

As a Chicagoland horror geek, I will be the first to say that checking this portrait piece off my art bucket list was well over due. I have had the honor of being on a stage with Svengoolie (it was a costume contest at Flashback Weekend but still.. legendary) and been in his presence at countless conventions and hearse club shows over the years but I have always wanted to express the impact he has had on our local horror community through my art.

I really wanted the piece to be a reflection of the history of the legendary tv horror host over the years. Similar to the way I paid tribute to Jim Henson with my “The Lovers. The Dreamers. And Me.” piece. With half reflecting the earlier years so the piece actual tells a story.

So for this split face portrait I decided to go back to the 70s by drawing the left side as a tribute to Jerry G. Bishop who was the mastermind behind Svengoolie. The original on air host from radio and television that brought the character to life on Screaming Yellow Theatre. Complete with his long green hair, aviator glasses, hippie attire and sidekick puppet Durwood.

The right side represents Rich Koz joined by his puppet pal, Kerwyn. Koz not only wrote jokes for Jerry, but he also resurrected the role as the Son of Svengoolie on WFLD (Fox) 32 in the 80s. He later received Jerry’s blessing to make the character his own in the 90s, when Jerry told him, “You’re all grown up now… be Svengoolie.” At that point, he dropped the “Son of” from his name and became the face of Svengoolie that we all know and love on MeTV today.

So in my best “Yiddish/Transylvanian” impression (as Jerry described it), I type and recite his words “The time has come for scary things“. So hold on to your rubber chickens as I emerge from my coffin to present to you my latest piece I call “You’re All Grown Up Now” hand drawn in pencil, colored pencil and chalk pastels.

For my art collectors who can’t get enough of hearing “Calling all stations. Clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!”, “I have made-to-order* prints and wearable art t-shirts of this special tribute piece listed in my Etsy shop.

Heather Creatively Displays her Charmsters made by Living Dead Girl Nicole 🧿👹🖼️

Since my Evil Eye of Protection Charmster necklaces are pieces of wearable handmade art, my art collector Heather has decided to put them in mini frames to display them whenever she isn’t wearing them!

I would be lying if I said I didn’t get super giddy seeing these photos she sent me. I just love seeing my Monstrosities being loved by their mortals and getting special treatment from the wickedly cool and creative people who are drawn to adopting them.

“I was so excited they didn’t sell (at the Unruly Art Market) so I could scoop them up. They’re necklaces, and when they’re not being worn- I added these thrifted frames to them-to display & enjoy them. They’re so silly, and they make me smile.” – Heather on Instagram

If you’re new here, be sure to check out Heather’s photos alongside other happy art collector photos and video submissions that are featured on the Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website.

For those who are discovering these Charmsters for the very first time, I have only have 2 left! You can adopt them online in my Etsy shop or in person from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL!

And if you are looking to add some unique & “magical” flare to your world, skip the big box stores and shop my creations! Already have? Then be sure to take photos or videos of yourself rocking, displaying, or even gifting my art and contact me to be featured!

Stay Strange & Magical ✨
