Potsters Are Officially In Bloom! 🪴👹🌻

Posted on by

As you all have been getting my updates, you can see I have been spending a lot of time in my art space conjuring up creations, checking visions off my art bucket list, and preparing for the Unruly Art Market. Little did you know that this time has also been spent tending to a very special, hidden corner of my workspace due to what has been sprouting inside this whimsical weird brain of mine.

And little did I know that if I plant the seeds of a strange idea in the dark long enough, it might just start biting at me to finally bring it to life. So this artist turned impromptu botanist stopped ignoring the seedling cries of creation and started “gardening”. The end result was a brand new species of creature I’ve been cultivating that bridges the gap between cute houseplants and my Monstosities. I call them Potsters and let’s just say they aren’t your average garden-variety.

And the real magic doesn’t even start with their adorable and quirky personalities. It goes deep down in the soil. I’ve always believed that balanced positive energy makes everyone grow better.

So, when “planting” these wild little flora, I skipped the standard fertilizer. Instead, each Potster sits in a lush bed of vibrant, sparkly moss charged with hidden raw quartz crystal points that act like a little supernatural battery, giving them just enough energy to sprout those delightfully creepy faces and keep their snaggle-teeth grinning at you all day long.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ Zero-maintenance, allergy free, and non-seasonal (they prefer being indoors & moon bathing)
✨ They’re perfect as forever greenery for your crypt or as a floral gift for someone you love
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches your vibe
✨ They are guaranteed to spark curious conversations and enjoy listening to you brag about them
✨ They are collectible handmade art pieces you won’t find at any big box store or greenhouse

As pictured, these three pre-made botanical beasties are ready to keep showing off their petals for their forever humans. Since they are handmade and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same. Meaning they will only take root for the human they were destined to grow for.

Anyone attending the Unruly Art Market THIS SUNDAY, May 31st will get first dibs on adopting them. Any Potsters still searching to root themselves 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.*

Don’t miss your chance to add a bit of bizarre, crystal-conjured botany to your monster menagerie! 🌱💎✨

Stay Strange & Magical ✨

Orion Mini Monsterpiece Officially Envisioned! 🌊👁️👹

Posted on by

What started off as me creating Solaris for the Nevada Fine Arts 4×4″ gallery show, inspired me to then unearth Gaia. Mixing my love for both monsters and cosmic mythological vibes I felt the universe was telling me “why stop there?” So I decided to dive deep into the depths to conjure up another one of my Monstrosities for the Unruly Art Market.

No pun intended, but the entire vision for this 4×4″ Mini Monsterpiece started with a single physical element.. the eye. I was drawn into the slightly tealish aqua blues mixed with intense red and bloodshot accents and knew right away that Orion was my inspiration. Born from the teal waters of his father Poseidon with the ability to walk across the ocean, and pulled from the shadows of legendary blindness by the fiery light of the sun, the aquatic demigod naturally began taking monster form amidst the fleshy waves of my canvas.

For those not familiar with my Monsterpieces, this particular piece was created on a 4×4″ pre-wrapped (on wood) canvas. I transformed it, by hand sculpting it into a cycloptic creature with wild faux hair, glittery horns, drool covered shell fangs, and rubbery flesh. They are my way of giving unique three dimensional flare to a traditional flat canvas. Since they are hand made and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same, allowing my art collectors something one-of-a-kind and out of the ordinary for their collections.

You can see Orion and my other Monstrosities showcased on my portfolio website.

Anyone attending the Unruly Art Market on Sunday, May 31st will get first dibs on adopting Orion. If he is still hunting for his chosen mortal after the event, he 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 him in person.*

Don’t miss your chance to own this unique piece of beastly art that stretches from the depths of the sea, all the way to the stars in the cosmos. 🌊💫

Stay Strange & Magical ✨

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.

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.

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.
