Crow & Calico Tavern Displays Living Dead Girl Nicole’s Pee Wee Art!

As you may recall the first sale I made from my booth at Crow & Calico’s Unruly Art Market was from Loren, the location owner. He purchased my It’s Gonna Be That Kind Of Morning, Pee Wee Herman canvas print and told me he planned to hang it in the bar.

Well after a number of intense and dangerous storms hitting our area week after week, we finally had some beautiful days this past weekend. On Sunday my husband pulled out his Trans Am and we took a ride to the cemetery to visit my Uncle’s grave, and as anyone knows its never easy celebrating the life of someone you hold so dear that is no longer with us. So Frank decided to surprise me and as we were pulling out of the cemetery he told me we were gonna take a little longer of a drive. I realized as we got closer that he was taking me to Crow & Calico. He knew I needed a much needed kitty fix from Whiskey and to cheers a drink in honor of my Uncle’s birthday.

When we went into the bar Frank pointed with excitement and said “Look! It’s your Pee Wee!” and low and behold there it was on display!

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t totally geeking out when I saw it hanging on the wall in there. I mean I know Loren told me he planned on hanging it in the bar, but to actually see it on display really brightened my day and I am truly grateful for yet another art collector that sees something special in my work.

So please if you are in the Midwest be sure to pay the Crow & Calico Tavern a visit. It’s ran by the nicest and most creative people you will ever meet and they hold so many unique events and markets there. It’s an absolute gem of a place to discover.

And if you want a canvas print of this piece for your own be sure to shop online via my Etsy shop or in person from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. The shop is actually not that far from Crow & Calico so you can even make a little adventure out of it by visiting and supporting two incredible spots that support me as an artist. Be sure to tell them both that Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!

And if you are new here, be sure to check out this photo from Crown & Calico alongside many of the other happy art collector photos and video submissions that are featured on the Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website. Want to be added? Then be sure to take photos or videos of yourself rocking, displaying, or even gifting my art and contact me to be featured!

Since my Evil Eye of Protection Charmster necklaces are pieces of wearable handmade art, my art collector Heather has decided to put them in mini frames to display them whenever she isn’t wearing them!

I would be lying if I said I didn’t get super giddy seeing these photos she sent me. I just love seeing my Monstrosities being loved by their mortals and getting special treatment from the wickedly cool and creative people who are drawn to adopting them.

“I was so excited they didn’t sell (at the Unruly Art Market) so I could scoop them up. They’re necklaces, and when they’re not being worn- I added these thrifted frames to them-to display & enjoy them. They’re so silly, and they make me smile.” – Heather on Instagram

If you’re new here, be sure to check out Heather’s photos alongside other happy art collector photos and video submissions that are featured on the Freaky Fanatics page of my portfolio website.

For those who are discovering these Charmsters for the very first time, I have only have 2 left! You can adopt them online in my Etsy shop or in person from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL!

And if you are looking to add some unique & “magical” flare to your world, skip the big box stores and shop my creations! Already have? Then be sure to take photos or videos of yourself rocking, displaying, or even gifting my art and contact me to be featured!

Evil Eye Of Protection Charmsters Are Here! 👹🧿

Posted on by

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.

Charmsters Evil Eye Monster Charm Necklaces By Living Dead Girl Nicole

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.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ Unlike my other Monstrosities, these tiny guardians can accompany you wherever you roam
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches yours
✨ Uniquely created with the ancient evil eye symbol to help ward off negativity, bad vibes, and jealous energy
✨ They are the perfect everyday talisman for lovers of the strange and magical
✨ They are guaranteed to spark compliments and 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, four of these little Charmsters are pre-made and ready to bond with their forever human. 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 next weekend will get first dibs on adopting them. Any Charmsters still searching to bond with 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 whimsical little guardians with monstrous personalities into your wardrobe and adventures. You may get some jealous stares from those who didn’t act quickly enough, but no worries, they were literally made for that!
