So excited to share that I was asked to conjure up another handmade zombified picture frame for one of my art collectors. This time the request was for a 5″x7″ picture frame customized with decayed blue grey flesh and green eyes! 🧟♂️🖼🧟♀️
If you have horror con memories, Halloween party photos, or need a killer display piece for your gothic wedding or spooky business ventures, be sure to visit my Etsy shop and place your order to have one of these custom made just for you! They also make for great, one-of-a-kind gifts for the strange and unusual collectors in your life.

Excited to share my latest zombified picture frame creation that I customized in a decayed blue-grey, just as requested by one of my newest art collectors and fellow George Romero fan! 🧟♂️🖼🧟♀️
They asked me if I could make one of my frames in an 8″x10″ size for a photo from what they described as their “dream come true moment”….. attending their very first convention to meet the surviving cast of Night of the Living Dead at the iconic Monroeville Mall!
While we were going over the customization details, we bonded over our shared love of Romero’s work and I got to reminisce about one of my dream come true moments…. meeting George Romero and gifting him a custom zombie head prop I made in his likeness. I think that really helped seal the deal and he knew he had found the perfect artist to bring this special frame to (after)life.
As a lifelong horror enthusiast, it was an absolute honor to craft something that not only captures the decayed spirit of Romero’s universe, but also celebrates those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that stay with us forever. That’s the kind of energy I live for as an artist, where spooky meets sentimental, and the undead get a frame-worthy tribute.
Here is how it came out….
When I sent the photos to the client they were beyond thrilled and responded with…
“Love it!! Thank you, Nicole, so excited to own a piece of your awesome work and display my prized photos in it :)”
Hearing that absolutely made my day. Knowing that something I created will forever frame such a meaningful memory for someone is exactly why I love doing what I do.

📣 Attention Art Collectors! My artwork has moved to a new area of Closet Collectibles. You will now find my creations in the Cabinets of Curiosities, taking center stage as the main focal point of their brand new horror themed room!
Rearranging of the store now allows collectors to easily find all the spooky, strange and unusual items they love but all in one area of the store! Including items from Trick or Treat Studios, NECA, and more!
This weekend’s art drop included the following: 🔪❤️ (1) Eat Your Heart Out 4″x 6″ Giclee Print in Snow Globe Frame 📖 ⚰️ (1) Deadtime Stories 8″x 10″ Canvas Print 🌈 💚 (1) Reflections In Green 8″x 8″ Canvas Print 🦋 💀 (1) Limited Edition Citrine Skullerfly Crystal Ornamental Wreath 🖨 🖼 Restock of previously sold out Giclee Prints 🤳 💕 Promo cards for my new Support, Snap, Share, Submit & Score deal
Here are a couple of pictures I took of the Eat Your Heart Out snow globe framed print before I dropped it off. When you shake it, red hearts and glitter magically appear, then settle at the bottom until the next time you give it another shake. It’s the perfect gift for any Tiffany Valentine – Jennifer Tilly fan who has everything and is looking for something more unique than what’s overly manufactured and mainstream.
Be sure to go check everything out and don’t forget to tell them Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!
Over the weekend the hubby and I did an art drop at Closet Collectibles which included a new fuchsia purple Pet Rockster for those who love my whimsical creations and a Limited Edition Zombie Light Switch Cover for those who prefer the macabre side of my creations.
Here are some photos I took of each item before dropping them off at the store.
As you know, no two items I handcraft are ever the same. So once they are gone they are gone, making them that much more fun to get your hands on. So if you love these new items, you can support me as an artist by purchasing them online in my Etsy Shop or by visiting Closet Collectibles (Crete, Illinois location) to see them in person and get them at my discounted* in-store prices.
I wanted to add that this weekend I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I sold my first canvas print to a Closet Collectibles shopper. This was just the win I needed to keep me motivated and the sign I needed to keep pushing through. Since being laid off I have been focusing a lot of my energy on new ways for my art collectors to enjoy my work and these canvas prints were a big part of kicking that off for me. So needless to say I am truly grateful someone saw one in person and decided to bring it home with them.
With that being said I wanted to get some feedback from everyone as to how you would like to see me restock canvas prints at Closet Collectibles. As you all know, whenever any 8.5″ x 11″ giclee print of mine sells out there, I always restock it to make it available to other shoppers. However canvas prints are more pricey, take a little longer turnaround time, and require more space. This means I can only have so many on display at one given time. Right now I am leaning more towards replacing a sold out canvas print with an entirely different piece to help rotate and keep things new and exciting, but I would love to get your feedback in the poll below.
Stay Strange & Magical, LDG Nicole
*Price is discounted from online store prices. Etsy listings reflect the unfortunate amount of shop and transaction fees they charge us artists to sell online. If you are local or traveling to Illinois, I encourage my clients to save money and see my work on full display by shopping my artwork in person with my consignment partner, Closet Collectibles where they truly support my creative endeavors to the fullest as their resident local artist.
