Happy October 1st my Freaky Fanatics! I have some fun and exciting news to share with all of you! Night Terror Magazine just released Issue 25 of their killer publication today and this one is extra special. The Of The Land & Winter Wails Issue is not only a community issue but it’s also their first quarterly issue and it features a very ghoul Holiday Gift Guide spotlighting small businesses that were hand selected by their editors…. including mine!

How fun are these graphics they created for the social post announcements….

This literary mag is filled with incredible folklore and short stories from the very talented horror community and although you can scroll the pages digitally online, I highly recommend purchasing a print copy. Not just for that nostalgic feeling of reading something in your hand that isn’t on a screen, but also to see all the hard work that goes into every page this publication puts together. You can find my work and shop featured in the gift guide section on page 60 of the digital zine (screen shot below) and can also order a copy in their shop on their website.

For those not familiar with Night Terror Magazine here is a snippet about them and why I was honored to be chosen to be a part of what they are producing:

Authors, artists, creatives, and enthusiasts make up this incredible community and it’s our mission to provide a platform to encompass the creative sphere. Night Terror supports the artistic liberation of self-publishing and empowers independent creators in the horror genre.

If you are not one of my art collectors (yet) and just happened to randomly discover this post on my blog page, be sure to subscribe while you are here so you don’t miss future announcements of the unique ways my artwork is being featured. You can also check out and bookmark the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

And if you are someone interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and start making some magic together!

Stay Strange & Magical, ✨

Jarsters Debut At Closet Collectibles!

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 ✨

Mini Jarsters Are Here! 👹🫙

Posted on by

Being temporarily unshackled from the 9-to-5 has only fueled my treasure hunts, gathering curious bits and pieces to bring the ideas swirling in my whimsical, wacky brain to life. After collecting just what I needed, brainstorming functionality, and getting my claws to work, my first Jarster (👹+🫙) escaped my imagination and was hand-sculpted into existence. True to all of my Monstrosities, its personality shone through during the creative process, making me giddy (as usual), and before I knew it, I couldn’t stop myself from giving it a few siblings, each one revealing its own quirky personality as I sculpted it.

The base of these Mini Jarsters are 3″ clear glass mini mason jars (lid included) that I then hand sculpted into a loveable creatures. Each one having my signature Monstrosities look with big eyes, wild faux hair, horns, a toothy grin, spotty flesh and a touch of glittery magic. They are all pre-made and ready to open their heads (literally) to your secrets and protect your tiny treasures, hand written manifestations/wishes, herbs, dice, spells, trinkets, treasures and more all while bringing personality to your space. They are perfect for art collectors who want something beyond traditional art and crave a little fun and functional chaos in their decor.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ A playful blend of art and function, handcrafted to guard your secrets, stash and tiny treasures
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches yours
✨ Small enough to display on shelves, desks, altars, gamer tables, and more
✨ Guaranteed to spark smiles and conversations wherever they lurk, adding character to any space
✨ They are collectible creatures that no big box store has and therefore make for unique gifts

As pictured, four of these little Jarsters are pre-made and ready for their new homes! None will ever be remade the same, therefore once adopted, only you will own the one you choose. Claim yours online now in my Etsy shop before they are spoken for. Whichever ones are not adopted by the time I make my next art drop at Closet Collectibles will become available to see and purchase* in person at the store as well. Don’t miss your chance to add one (or more) of these whimsical little guys with monstrous personalities to your collection. 

Stay Strange & Magical ✨
