Etsy Update Alert 👀 Get Your Claws On The Remains! 🛍️

Posted on by

First off, thank you again to everyone who came out and purchased a piece of my artwork at the Unruly Art Market on Sunday. It was so great to see so many of my creations find new homes with amazing art collectors.

This update is to let my online shoppers know that I have finally “dug”🧟‍♀️ through what’s left of my inventory from the show and have taken the time to list every piece that is still available for purchase in my Etsy Shop

So if last week you were reading all my new creation updates on here and were bummed that you couldn’t make it out, or if you didn’t have enough cash on hand at the show, now is your chance to get your claws on the “remains.”🧟‍♀️

Make sure to act fast before I make my Closet Collectibles art drop this weekend. Once that drop happens, these unique pieces will also become available to my art collectors who like to do in-store shopping* from my Cabinets of Curiosities at the shop. Which means you will have more claws to compete against if you want to add them to your collection. As always, each of my creations are handmade and never mass produced* which makes them one-of-a-kind. So in other words, once they are gone they are gone for good. So go get you some!

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.

I am still so honored to have had my “I’m Not Staying On This Farm” split face portrait of Mia Goth chosen to be featured in the Women In Arts Network Faces Exhibition. Being invited to do an exclusive interview made the experience even more meaningful, and after reading the piece they just published about me and my work, I am truly in awe of how beautifully they captured my essence.

“The world has enough safe, predictable, easily categorized art. What it needs is more artists like Nicole who show up covered in glitter and fake blood with a monster under one arm and a Prismacolor pencil behind their ear and make exactly the thing nobody asked for but everybody needed.“

For those not familiar with the Women in Arts Network, here is a snippet from their website to help you get you familiar with their mission…

We bring together writers, podcasters, gallerists, curators, and more, fostering not only collaboration but also celebration. It’s a place where collaboration isn’t just possible, it’s celebrated. Here, women from around the globe don’t just connect, they form powerful networks and lasting friendships. So, whether you’re on the hunt for talent or ready to showcase your own, Women in Arts Network is just the place for you.

Read the full feature interview here and find it listed along with some of the other spotlights and features of my artwork on the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

Women In Arts Network Virtual Art Exhibition Faces Features Portrait by Living Dead Girl Nicole

Posted on by

I am excited to finally be able to announce that my work has been selected by the Women In Arts Network to be featured in their virtual art exhibition Faces.

This exhibition theme focuses on:
Carefully curated virtual rooms, each centered on the power and presence of the human face. From quiet, unguarded moments to bold and commanding expressions, each space reveals a different emotional truth. Together, the artworks speak to identity, vulnerability, resilience, and connection, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and recognize themselves in the faces before them. The exhibition invites artists to respond to faces not only as visual subjects, but as reflections of emotion, memory, and personal stories shaped over time. Through a wide range of mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, collage, and digital art, Faces presents many approaches to the face. Some works feel direct and familiar, while others move toward abstraction or distortion. Together, they show how faces can communicate feeling, presence, and complexity without needing explanation.
Read more here.

The exhibition runs from February 2nd – March 2nd, 2026 and the great thing is you don’t even have to leave your home to view and support the artists whose work has been selected. Everything can be viewed online via their free interactive 3D art gallery, which allows both artists and collectors from around the globe to enjoy and participate.

So please take a moment of your time to visit the exhibition link and freely scroll the walls of their two virtual gallery rooms showcasing all the mesmerizing art that was chosen, including my “I’m Not Staying On This Farm” split-face portrait inspired by Mia Goth’s portrayal as Pearl. The face of a true dreamer, displayed in Room 2.

And to celebrate, any of my art collectors who visit the virtual exhibition and then shop my Etsy Shop afterwards can use discount code FACES to receive 13% slashed off their order at check out!*

And if you are new here, be sure to check out the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. There you can find this exhibit listed amongst some of the other unique places my art has been featured over the years.
