There are warnings for a reason.
Trapped behind glass and reclaimed wood, this unsettling little dragon stares out from its custom-built enclosure, daring the brave to open the case (but please don’t). Commissioned by a dear friend, this piece pays tribute to the real Annabelle doll from the Warren Collection, not the Hollywood version. Painted to match the original's delicate dress and eerie charm, this dragon rests in a handmade case modeled after the famed display at the Warren’s Occult Museum, complete with an aged cross, a cautionary sign, and a devilish tarot card tucked inside. The box itself is constructed from reclaimed wood sourced from an old New England home, adding a layer of haunted history to an already spine-tingling tribute.

This haunting tribute piece takes the iconic storm drain scene from It and reimagines it through the dragon lens, with a very special twist. Commissioned by a dear friend for actress Stacy Johnson, who portrayed the blue-eyed Pennywise, this dragon dons the unmistakable clown suit, vivid orange hair, and a bright red balloon...but her eyes, unmistakably, are Stacy’s piercing blue.
Nestled along a cracked street base, complete with a handmade paper boat, fallen leaves, and Georgie’s lonely yellow rain boot, the true horror lies just below the surface, literally. Peek through the rusted grate to find Georgie staring back, forever frozen in that moment of childhood terror. A loving nod to fan favorites and deep-cut horror details, this piece is a layered homage packed with heart, horror, and a balloon’s worth of bite.
