Attention fellow 80’s babies! My Totally 80’s Art Sticker Packs have officially arrived at Closet Collectibles (Crete, IL. location)!*

I walked into the store with 5 sets in hand, and someone immediately bought one before I could even put them in my Cabinets of Curiosities display!⚡️What started off as a limited inventory of 10 of these sets is now currently down to 8 because of a recent Etsy shop sale as well!⚡️So be sure to get you a set before they are all gone!

ℹ️ Each pack is pre-packaged by my printer and contains 5 stickers I selected from various art pieces I have hand drawn or hand painted over the years that were all inspired by 80’s pop culture icons and nostalgia. See my previous post below for more details!

*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.

Although very limited at this time, these sticker packs are my way of offering something new to my art collectors while I continue to weather the storm. Since I am still unemployed and have to budget a lot more, I am testing the waters to see how well these do before offering additional sets. These first packs will be available to purchase in person at a discounted rate* at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. (when I do my next art drop/restock) with limited stock also available in my Etsy and Latchet shops while supplies last.

I know I say it all the time, but thank you again for your continued support. Every order and purchase means the world to me, especially now while I’m unemployed and navigating this chaotic job market. The last six months have been a roller coaster of emotions with job rejections, opportunity scams, and moments where my self-worth has really been tested. But through it all, sparks of art wins from all of you have come in like small miracles, lifting my spirits just when I need it most. Your support is what keeps me moving forward, and I’m so incredibly grateful for those of you that continue to believe in me and my talents.

Stay Strange & Magical ✨️,

So thrilled to open my email and find out that my “Walk On the Wild Side” split face portrait of Howie Mandel and Maurice from Little Monsters was selected as Stars Portraits – Portrait of the Day!

I feel so blessed with all the love this art piece is receiving. This is the 4th portrait of mine to be featured and added to their Best Portraits Gallery on top of being selected as their Artist Of The Week this past January. Past art pieces of mine that were selected were my “20 Years Queer, “The Exorcist Was On” and “Maybe Today Satan“. All very different pieces that I am so grateful to have featured amongst so many incredibly talented portrait artists. Be sure to check them out as well as the other sites my work has been featured on. You can find most of them on the Creature Feature page of my portfolio website!

Stay Spooky & Magical!

“Walk On The Wild Side” a Tribute to Little Monster’s Maurice by Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

Now that I am 40 I realize what it means to hear older people say “the good ole days”. As someone that was a child in the 80’s and a pre-teen/teenager in the 90’s where so much creative energy flourished I am grateful to have grown up when I did and experienced so many things that were wildly different and so inspiring. Unlike the kids these days that are stuck being bombarded with remakes, reboots and everything being so PC.

So I decided to check another portrait off my art bucket list inspired by one of my favorite movies from my childhood… Little Monsters.

I was 8 when the movie came out and I have watched it so many times in my lifetime I have lost count. Ironically as sensitive as I am, I was never scared of this movie like most kids my age were. I was always that weird kid who got lost in the story and wanted all these creepy magical adventures to happen to me in real life. Even as adult, I still have hope that there is a world of monsters partying under my bed. So far there’s “SNOT” but a girl can still dream.

So here it is.. my latest split face portrait inspired by none other than actor, comedian, tv show host Howie Mandel as himself and his high energy, baseball collecting, apple juice pissing, homework eating monster Maurice. I call it “Walk On The Wild Side”….

This piece was hand drawn in pencil and chalk pastels. I decided to draw Howie from the 80’s so that it matched the personality and time period of the movie character in 1989.

Maybe one day Howie will make an appearance at a Midwest con and I will be able to gift it to him during one of my real life adventures. Maybe Maurice will finally appear under my bed and I can gift it to him instead. In the mean time the rest of you Howie and Maurice fans you can pick up prints and made to order DTG printed t-shirts of this piece in my Etsy Shop. Prints will also soon be available at Closet Collectibles when I make my next art drop off.

Make sure to check out more of my portrait work on the Spitting Image page of my portfolio site and remember wishes are for “bush league leprechauns” and not monsters! So if you are looking to have a good time and get in a bit of trouble be sure to checking under your beds! I still am!

Stay Spooky & Magical,
