Jarsters Debut At Closet Collectibles!

Posted on by

This weekend my husband Frank and I had a great time supporting my consignment partner Closet Collectibles who hosted their first toy show. The whole community center was filled with vendors (I didn’t get photos of everyone due to the angles of the room), they had a food truck, a hot dog and snack stand, raffles and constant foot traffic of treasure hunters coming and going all day long. So happy the event was such a huge success for them and all the vendors involved. It was great being able to network with so many new faces and reconnect with many familiar ones as well.

After the show we went back to the shop to do an art drop. Since some of my larger items have sold out I was able to re-arrange a few things and give my Jarsters 👹🫙 their official debut in my Cabinets of Curiosities.

That’s right you can now go see these adorable mischievous faces and adopt them in person at Closet Collectibles! I promise you that pictures do not do them justice and they are already having fun grinning at shoppers from the cabinet window hoping someone has a stash of herbs, spells, secrets, wishes, and other tiny treasures they need help protecting! ✨️

As always, my art collectors who choose to shop my work in person at Closet Collectibles (vs online in my Etsy shop) receive discounted “support local” in-store pricing** so be sure to go check everything out, stock up, share this post, and tell Chris and the gang that “Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!”

Stay Strange & Magical ✨

Alter Ego Mini Multi-Toned Monsterpieces Are Here! 👹 🖼

I saw the enthusiasm from my art collectors after releasing my Mini Monsterpieces. This inspired me to conjure up more bite-sized beasts. This time I decided to channel the joy that came from expressing myself (literally) when creating my Alter Ego 8″x10″ Monsterpieces.

First I let my dark, creepy, goth side come out to play. Once it was done working its macabre magic, my colorful, whimsical, hippie side took control. It manifested some light, zen, and a high on life grin. The end result being these two adorable, multi-colored Monstrosities straight from my artist soul.

Each one is made from a pre-wrapped (on wood) 3″ x 3″ canvas that I’ve transformed into a three-dimensional, cycloptic creature with a multi-toned hypnotic eye, wild faux hair, bumpy mole, natural shell bead fangs, glittery horns and multi-colored flesh.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ They are one-of-a-kind, handmade 3 dimensional pieces of art that will never be replicated
✨ They represent the full spectrum of the strange and magical soul of the artist who created them
✨ They can be perched on their little easels or hung on the wall
✨ They are great conversation starters and catch the eye of anyone who discovers them
✨ They are collectible, irresistibly adorable and will bring joy to you or anyone you gift them to

Which one speaks to you most? Or, like me, do both sides of your unique personality come alive when they’re together? Either way, don’t miss your chance to add one or both of them to your collection! Buy them online now in my Etsy shop before they are gone for good. If no one adopts them online by the time I make my next art drop at Closet Collectibles, they will be also be available to see and purchase* in-person from my Cabinets of Curiosities.

Violet’s Monstrous Handmade Birthday Surprise from Aunt Living Dead Girl Nicole

Over the weekend we had some fun celebrating my great niece Violet’s 11th birthday. One of the MANY things I love about this little girl is her fascination with monsters, cryptids, mythological creatures, and animals. And not just typical animals either. She can lay down some facts about animals you didn’t even know existed and is a trip and half to go on zoo adventures with.

On top of all of that she loves drawing the things she loves as cartoon characters. Her talents and imagination fascinate me. She gives each character she draws names and each one has a backstory. That’s right, she’s quite the little artist herself and my husband and I have a little collection of handmade gifts and drawings she has made for us over the years and when she draws or makes something new she can’t wait to show us. Since she is getting older (she even mentioned the word pre-teen at her party to remind us all) I thought she would appreciate finally owning one of Aunt Nicole’s handmade Monstrosities.

So here is Franklin (the name she gave him), who is a “violet” and pink Moffin pencil/art supply holder and the first of its kind!

I wrapped him and the art supplies (seen in the photos) up in cellophane and tied it off with my branding ribbon. We gifted it to her with a book about cryptids and an art sticker maker she had on her wishlist. She got a complete kick out of it.

It was so rewarding to see the reaction she had and the smile on her face. She truly is quite the creature lover like her Aunt Nicole.

You can find Violet and Franklin alongside photos and videos of some of my other happy art collectors on my Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website. Franklin can also be found amongst my other handmade monster creations on the Monstrosities page.

And.. if you are looking for a quirky low maintenance companion to call your own, be sure to shop my creations to see which of my Monstrosities are currently available for adopting. Unlike machine mass produced collectibles, these are each handmade with loving intentions and therefore no one else in the world will ever own the one that you adopt. This makes them one-of-a-kind gifts for the person in your life that has everything and are definitely great conversation starters for your home or work decor.

If you are new here, be sure to subscribe to get updates of when my newest creations drop as I am already conjuring up some new monsters that have been lurking around in my brain.

If you are already one of my art collectors, don’t forget to contact me so you can send me your photos or Youtube video links showing how you rock, gift or display my artwork and become a featured Freaky Fanatic!

Stay Strange & Magical ✨
