The updates have been dropping like vamps in Sunnydale this week, and the momentum isn’t stopping just yet. I know your feed and your inbox are taking a hit, but I wouldn’t want you to be… “bored now” would I? So, “buckle up, Rupert”, because I’ve got some more news to share with my art collectors and the prophecy is now ready to be revealed.

I am officially one of the chosen ones… as in, an artist whose work has been accepted by Hellmouth Events and Giant-Size Productions for their upcoming Art of The Hellmouth Buffy & Angel Tribute Exhibition! My “I Am The Magics” Willow Rosenberg art piece was selected to slay it on display alongside other Buffyverse inspired artwork in a two-week pop-up gallery show that runs from October 17 to November 1, 2026 at Moby’s Coffee & Tea Co. located in North Hollywood, CA. 🪦

Now, if you are one of my art collectors who has been following my artventure journeys here, you are already fully aware that my dream is to gift Alyson Hannigan my original 8×10″ version of this piece and therefore its not available for sale. So I am contributing a rare, first-of-its-kind 16×20″ canvas print specifically for this show! Whoever purchases this limited edition art print will also receive a certificate of authenticity that states the following:

This certificate confirms that the artwork identified herein is a limited-edition, professionally produced canvas print created specifically for: The Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel Tribute Exhibition Show at Moby’s. The original piece was hand-drawn by the artist using pencil and chalk pastels on 8″x10″ paper. This document certifies that this piece is the first-ever 16″x20″ canvas print produced from the original artwork.

There will also be 5×7″ prints of my art piece included in Mystery Blind Bundle Packages that will be available to purchase at the show and to top things off 10% of ALL art sales will go to to Fandom Charities Org: a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to bring fans together in support of meaningful causes. They turn shared passion into real world impact through events, community experiences, and fundraising efforts that celebrate fandom while helping others.

Daily gallery access to see the exhibition is completely free at Moby’s, but the curators and production staff will also be hosting a ticketed Celebrity Kickoff & Drusilla After Dark Event on opening night, Saturday, October 17, featuring a public signing and evening screening with the one and only Juliet Landau! ⚰️

And that’s not all. They are also hosting a ton of other Buffyverse themed events during the duration of the show. Being stuck out in the Midwest and just reading about everything they have planned gives my jealousy quite the “Spike”. Oh, and did I mention, Moby’s is brewing up some Buffy themed drinks and cafe items as well! You know the tea drinker in me would be dying to sink her teeth into those! ☕️

So, if you are a slayer or a member of the Scooby Gang, be sure to patrol your way to Moby’s in North Hollywood, California from October 17th – November 1st, 2026 and claim your “stake” on my art! 🧛🏻‍♀️

Last but not least, if you are new here, and just happened upon this post, be sure to check out the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. There, you can find this exhibition listed alongside some of the other unique places my art has been featured over the years. And if you’re a gallery, curator, publication, or other outlet that is interested in showcasing my work, let’s connect, chat and make some magic together!

“I Am The Magics” a Tribute to Willow Rosenberg by Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

2

Earlier this year, I decided to rewatch the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I hadn’t seen it since high school, back when I was a real-life graduate of the class of ’99, just like the “Scooby Gang.” It was fun revisiting the show for nostalgic reasons, but my main focus was to be engulfed in the “Buffyverse” once again so I could finally check Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg off my art bucket list.

Willow was always my favorite character on the show. Despite being framed as the sidekick or best friend, I was always drawn to her more than Buffy. Maybe it was our shared 90’s fashion sense, her ability to research every monster-fighting scenario Buffy was faced with, or watching her grow into her powers, but I always saw her as the true emotional core of the series and the character I related to most. She always felt less like a fictional character and more like someone I would want to genuinely hang out with.

I really wanted to encapsulate Willow’s character growth from the beginning to the end of the series. An artistic reminder that we all have the battle of good and evil inside of us and that it is ultimately up to us to choose which path we take. With that in mind, I knew this had to be one of my signature split face portraits. One half representing the sweet, quirky and shy Willow, with the other side reflecting cold, broken hearted, “I’m the Slayer now” lethal Dark Willow. A part in the series that even though she becomes consumed by her overuse of power, she finally finds the courage to express so much of what Willow fans had always wanted her to say out loud, unfortunately pushing her toward nearly destroying the world with dark forces.

In the end, however, she recognizes the darkness she is heading toward and learns to control her powers. By doing so, she evolves into her true strength as a white witch, bringing light back into the world by activating all potential Slayers and saving humanity. The underdog ultimately becoming the true hero of the series in the show’s finale.

A storyline worth picking up the drawing pencils for, I completed the piece last week and am excited to share it with my art collectors. Done in pencil and chalk pastels, I call it “I Am The Magics”….
