Re-Re-Revisitations, 3rd Times a Charm: More Art by Jennifer Weigel
Here I am at it again, I just can’t help myself. So I’m painting more Revisitations reanimating dead (or at least neglected) thrift store art. Here are a few more pieces I’ve done since the last time…
So this one kinda thought it wanted to be the famous scene from E.T. but the witch won out with her heels and broom and loud cackling laugh and super glittery self. She left her kitty at home this time though…
I almost didn’t pick up this painting but the weird Illuminati pyramid just called out for another alien invasion so here we are. And the extra-terrestrial is even black light reactive.
Here are a bunch more Revisitations art, from top to bottom, left to right:
A six-fingered ape climbs a church steeple, titled Evolution as a commentary on the great education debate and how A.I. art is still learning to depict hands.
This super shimmery ghost ship in a tropical scene reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean; this is actually one of my personal faves of the whole series.
Black light reactive Peeps chicks surround a confused mother hen.
A black light reactive dragon swoops over an old mill.
This black light reactive Queen Bee is all the buzz, dancing over the tops of the lilies and spreading glitter wonderment.
If you want to check out more works like this, here are some reanimated monster paintings and The Devil Went Down to Georgia…

So I happened upon this very cheesecake-heavy premiere issue of Extremes of Violet, complete with pinups by some of the comic book greats of the time, and decided to make some Peeping Toms collage art by incorporating the voluptuous vixen into various crystal pieces to create a sort of fishbowl effect centered largely on her bosom (which is unavoidable).
Each of the Peeping Toms is shown from three angles because of how much the pieces shift as the light plays off the crystal. I started with these star forms.
The second bowl was even a bit iridescent, and violet at that!
Next I did a series of really perky busty bowls, which really get the feeling across that you are looking through the tiny peephole in a door as well as exemplifying the content even more. Note: these are shown in two rows with side details as well, so there are a lot of pics here…
I experimented a little and tried a couple of other scenes, like the portrait, as well. She’s staring back at the Peeping Toms…
I also tried this more square bowl form.
And finally, I found this little heart, which is my personal favorite of the group.
These works are a continuation of my Creepy Comics collage series, shown on Haunted MTL here.

So I probably should have taken a before picture, but I found a faux wood stained plaster Jesus statue and turned it into Zombie Christ. Because it’s the second second coming. Or something. It’s kind of an offshoot of my nail polish paintings reappropriating thrift store art…
Anyway without further ado, I present…
I was a little concerned that I made him too green at first, but I’m happy with the finished result. This statue just looked so anguished. It’s eyes had been closed but I like them better open and even painted them with blacklight reactive nail polish so they will stand out even more and be interactive in other ways to add creepy factor.
Sadly I don’t have a blacklight anymore or I’d share a picture that way too. Oh well. I’ll leave you with a fun detail shot instead.
Next time I may make him more gray than green though. We shall see…

So it’s been awhile since we’ve looked at some of the things I have gathered, so I thought I’d bring back my art collection for another round… Here are the first and second highlights in case you missed earlier explorations.
From left to right: M Pena Windstone Editions bat-winged flap cat, bone mask by Terry and Susan Wright, wood cat in skull by labcreature, real hair art by myself, pencil drawing of Barbarois Elder for Vampire Hunter D anime cel
From left to right: Barbarois Elder for Vampire Hunter D anime cel, Turn Me Royal portrait of my father and stepmother as Frankenstein’s monster and his bride, painted horse skull
Left to right: Overgrowth by Ellie Bradley, heart by TenderFlesh, praying devil girl by Torman’s Treasures
And a vintage plastic 2-foot Jack O Lantern I got at a yard sale and have kept on display on his very own stool in the living room since. So happy.
Anyway, there are some more highlights from my art collection, as it is always growing and evolving. I have lucked into several of these pieces at antique and thrift stores or acquired them from the artists or more. And yes, I still have Da Ting the taxidermy shih-tzu from the first of these posts.
