Get Organized With My Latest Moffin Creation

I just can’t get enough of making my Moffins! They bring me so much joy during the creation process by allowing me to mix my love of big eyed, furry, adorable monsters with my appreciation for the spooky and macabre. So needless to say this whimsical goth has been treasure hunting and on the look out for more things to transform into these monstrous fun creations.

For my latest, I treasure hunted a coffin shaped makeup palette organizer/stand. It was cute the way it was, brand new even but I had other plans for it the minute I laid eyes on it. Since picking it up the creative bug has been biting at me so I took some time over the past few weeks and transformed it into a Moffin that can’t wait to protect your trinkets, jewelry or anything you want to hang on his 2″ pegs.

This creation measures 8″ from it’s base to to the top of his slimy purple coffin head with blue eyes and furry blue hair extending. It is on a 5″ x 3.5″ stand. There is only one of these pre-made making it a unique piece of handmade art that you can own and no one else will have.

It is currently listed for sale in my Etsy shop and already available to see in person and purchase at a discounted rate* at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL.

Limited Edition Moffin Batch 2 Stash Boxes Are Here!

Since a majority of my Limited Edition Moffins (from Batch 1) are busy protecting my client’s stash in their new, forever homes, I knew it was time for a new batch of Moffins to be born. I have been working hard over the last few months to make this new batch unique and have incorporated sculpture, more realistic teeth, monster eyes and a new “slimey” protective lacquer.

Available in earthy greens, firey reds, and watery blues, I present Batch 2 of my Limited Edition Moffin Stash Boxes…..

Seeing the eyes are the windows to the soul, I decided to use the colors of the monster’s eyes for inspiration for the color scheme for each Moffin’s coffin box body and hair. Just like the 1st batch, these are limited edition, which means you will own a unique piece of handmade art that no one else will ever have. There are currently only 1 of each (as pictured above) that are pre-made, listed in my Etsy shop and ready to protect your stash. They will also be available to purchase in person at a discounted rate* as soon as I make my next art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. In other words, be sure to get one while you can.

“The Lovers. The Dreamers. And Me.” a Tribute to Jim Henson by Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

Anyone who knows me or even just follows my artistic journey knows how much Jim Henson has influenced and continues to inspire me. That is why I am very excited to finally share a new art piece that has been on my art bucket list for way too long.

I have always wanted to draw Jim Henson but was not sure how I would come up with what I considered a good enough tribute to someone that has brought so magic into my world. Then last September when his 85th Birthday was upon us, I got a vision of what I wanted to do and I started planning it out. Work, life and filling art orders got in the way but I continued to work on it slowly but surely. I am so happy I did not rush myself to complete it. I took my time because this piece is truly very special to me.

The vision I had for this piece was to pay tribute to the joy he brought into this world from the beginning of his career from the Sam and Friends days to his time on Sesame Street and the Muppet Show. And it was not just Jim’s look I wanted to show that had transitioned over the years but also wanted to incorporate the old and new looks of Kermit. From an abstract lizard made out of his Mother’s coat to the iconic frog we all love and recognize today.

I am so happy to finally be able to share this split face portrait done in pencil and chalk pastels that I call “The Lovers. The Dreamers. And Me.”

You can see this art piece and my other portrait drawings showcased on the Spitting Image page of my portfolio website.

For those who are interested in purchasing prints or wearing this art piece on a shirt, you can find them listed in my Etsy and Amazon shops. Prints will also be made available at at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL as soon as I make my next art drop to replenish my store shelves.

Stay Spooky & Magical!
