I only have a small quantity left of my Limited Edition Set 1 Portrait Stickers!!! All “Shit The Bed” (Sid Haig) stickers are sold out but the ones pictured below have a few of each remaining.
As a thank you for those who continue to support my artwork during the craziness of 2020, I am offering 1 free portrait sticker when you purchase the 8.5″ x 11″ matching art print in my Amazon shop.
Once Set 1 is completely sold out I will make Set 2 available (what art pieces of mine do you hope to see in Set 2?), so spread the word. Just want a sticker? They are still available to purchase separately in my shop until they sell out.
Even though Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman cancelled his appearance for Horrorhound we still made the trip to Indy this weekend. It was a nice little getaway for Frank and I to be in our element of horror and we had already purchased our weekend passes and booked our room. The guest list also kept growing including a few celebs I had wanted to gift my art to.
Here are a few highlight moments from the weekend…
This moment of meeting Doug Jones was worth every single wrinkle I had to draw on the Baron’s face ha ha. He has got to be one of the kindest souls we have ever met. He was so fun to talk to and he remembered seeing my Night On the Town art piece online. He even did a Baron impression when I gave it to him. He was so appreciative that he got to keep it and kept giving us thank you hugs. If you get the opportunity to meet him don’t pass it up. He really loves his fans and takes the time with everyone he meets. This photo really sums up how great it was to meet him….

I was reunited with my idol. That’s right Elvira was at the convention and this was the 3rd time I have met her but this time I got to meet her as Cassandra! Which I found to be appropriate for gifting her my Yours Cruelly portrait. I have always found her to be so beautiful in character and out of character. That is why the inspiration behind the piece was Cassandra as herself and then her transformation as Elvira. When I gave it to her she told me I was very talented and when I showed her the photo of us from 2008 with my SINderella portrait she actually remembered me giving it to her.

When I found out that Kristy Swanson was added to the guest list I was stoked. As you all know I recently finished my art piece called The Chosen One. As someone who is a supporter of originals over remakes I will always back up the statement that Kristy is the real Buffy. I have been a fan of the movie and the cast all these years. I even had to make it a point to rock my Buffy ’92 tee which she and so many other attendees had never seen and absolutely loved. But she seemed to be even more impressed with my drawing and kept hugging me and saying how talented and sweet I was for making it for her. I showed her how the split face vision works by putting your hand over one side of the face at a time and she was in awe. Even more so that she got to keep it. Not many celebs gift back so I always like to give them a shout out when they do. As a thank you Kristy signed and gave me a free 8×10 Buffy and Pike picture made out to Frank and I.

Some more celeb related highlights included sharing an elevator ride with Tobin Bell aka Jigsaw from the Saw films, getting to see another Henry Rollins show in the 3rd row and meeting Robin Tunney from The Craft and Empire Records which are also two more of my favorite 90s films.

Supporting our friend Sid Haig at the High On the Hog booth
As I post this High On The Hog photo I would like to say that Sid has been on our mind all weekend long. Yes we made the most of our time having fun at the convention but our minds were also elsewhere at the same time. As we were on our way to Indy we got a message that Sid was put in ICU and Suzie was asking that everyone please pray for him. We have been sending positive healing vibes into the universe ever since. So no matter what higher being you believe in please do the same. As you know I have become close to Sid over the years. What started as a fan/celeb moment when I first met him in 2004 has turned into a friendship that I never expected to grow over the years. I find myself very lucky and grateful to be able to say that. Yes he is an amazing actor and his career is what I have to thank for bringing him and Suzie into our lives but he is so much more than that. At times he has been like a Grandfather figure in my life with his advice, stories and always believing in my talents. And even though we may not talk everyday we always play catch up when he is in town and those moments are ones I really cherish. He is an all around good hearted person and one helluva a fighter but he needs us all right now. So please send those healing vibes and prayers his way!
In celebration of my idol’s birthday…….

And for fun, here is a collage of some of my own personal and favorite Elvira moments from over the years! Including me dressed up like her for Halloween when I was little. Yes, I really have loved her for as long as I can remember. And when you see my quote “when other little girls wanted to be ballerinas, I wanted to be Elvira” it really is true. It still is! Much love to Cassandra Peterson on her special day!
