New Tim Burton Art Flare For Your Holiday Decor! ❄️💀

Posted on by

The holidays are upon us, and it’s the perfect time to add a little dark whimsy to your festive decor. To help support this mission, I’m excited to offer 4-inch clear acrylic snowflake ornaments, featuring giclee prints of my pencil and charcoal portrait “What Nightmares Are Made Of” (which is currently on display at Beetlehouse LA)!

Each ornament contains two professionally printed giclee images sealed within the acrylic, ensuring the artwork is not only protected but visible from both sides. It comes ready to hang with a sleek silver cord, making it an effortless way to give your Yule or Christmas tree a truly unique twist for years to come. 🎄❄️✨

But why stop at the holidays? This ornament is also perfect for displaying year-round alongside your Tim Burton or Nightmare Before Christmas collection and spooky decor. Think of it as a little unique artistic nod to your inner Pumpkin King or Queen. 💀🎃✨

I only have four of these ornaments in stock, so if you want one for yourself or as a gift for that special Sally in your life, grab one while you can! They’re available in my Etsy shop and if you are local you can take advantage of my discounted in-store pricing** by purchasing them directly from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL! I made a special art drop visit to the store on Friday, and it was packed with collectors hunting for unique treasures, so don’t wait too long to get yours.

As always, please also share this post and help remind everyone that choosing artists and small local businesses this holiday season helps keep creativity and our communities thriving. 🛍🎁✨

I made another art drop and restock at Closet Collectibles this weekend. As always, I restocked sold out prints and rearranged things in my display case due to items that have sold out 🙏.

I added 8 of my new canvas prints as well as a fun new snow globe framed print of my “What Nightmares Are Made Of” charcoal and pencil drawing of Tim Burton and Jack Skellington.

Here are a couple of pictures I took of the snow globe framed print before I dropped it off. When you shake it, fake snow and iridescent glitter magically appear, then settle at the bottom until the next time you give it another shake. It’s the perfect gift for any Tim Burton fan who has everything and is looking for something more unique than what’s overly manufactured and mainstream

Some of you may recognize this art piece as the original was selected and has been on display at Beetle House LA in California since they opened in 2017.

As you may have read in my previous post, I am currently laid off and could really use the extra support right now. So PLEASE…

What’s This? A Custom Jack Skellington Barrette Makes The Perfect Gift!

What’s this? It’s a Jack themed Dead Girl Decay Barrette that I was commissioned to make for a return client in the UK! For the last 5 years he has commissioned me to make a new themed hair piece for his wife and its the first thing she opens on Christmas morning. This year he chose Jack Skellington. A character I have held dear to my heart since I was a kid.

Due to me always wanting to make my creations unique and there being so many Nightmare Before Christmas things out there, I decided to hand sculpt and paint the center piece for this one instead of resurrecting something store bought. This included Jack’s face, his bat bow tie and some whimsical Tim Burtonesque swirls for each side. I had never used this specific medium for sculpting so I challenged myself to try something new and am so glad that I did. Here is how it came out.

Since the barrette was going to be just black and white I added a touch of iridescent glitter here and there as a sparkly representation of when Jack first discovers snow. I found the perfect feather fringe from Moonlight Feather Inc. I loved how thin and wispy it looked and the alternating black and white gave it a striped look that gave me total Jack suit vibes.

When I sent photos to the client weeks ago he loved it and could not wait to gift it to her. Today I received these photos and a message from him on Etsy telling me how much his wife loves it too. She even made it a point to pose with a little Jack figurine! How great are these?….

It means so much to me to know that my creations continue to make someone else’s holidays brighter and I truly look forward to the “Ok I got this year’s theme picked out” message I get a few months prior to the holidays. I have always loved doing custom orders because I feel like they are a creative challenge and they really get my creative blood flowing. This one in particular also allowed me to discover a new medium that I am already using in my other creations. A win win all around.

Looking to have something custom made? Contact me for details and pricing. Did you receive one of my pieces of art this holiday season? Contact me to submit your photos and to be featured!
