NEW CHANGES!
You will be able to purchase my delightfully horrific delights on my new Etsy page!
I will still be posting things here to check out, but if you'd like to purchase one, please visit our Etsy page by clicking on the link below.
Creepy portraits come with background - graveyard, tomb, your very own haunted house? Would you like a bone through your nose? Zombie children, vampire in-laws, moldy mommy? And don't worry, if you have pets I will not leave them out either - they can be skeletons on leash, mummified or insane.
If you have any questions - contact me! Feel free to do so here or email me at melissastagi@yahoo.com or creepymama@rocketmail.com

My Newest Work...
2012-02-23
Ah...yes, the satisfaction of a new creepy family - I love nothing more than painting a surly teenager who is mortally embarrassed by her family..or a child that crop dusts his family (that would be farting and running to you - stop feeding that kid beans!).
I'm doing a lot of this work so I can pay for my son's braces. Unfortunately, he was born with his mother's teeth. I was fortunate enough that after enough cringing from strangers, my mother chose to get me braces. I want to do the same for him. If you'd like a portrait, contact me via email, phone or bat....
Thanks!
My Morning - Boy Smell & the Coffee Crisis
2012-02-17
Rolled out of bed, scurried to the kitchen, briefly gagged at the boy funkitude emitting from my oldest son's room - only to discover that there was no coffee made!
Does my Beefsteak have a death wish? I wonder, then feel guilty because my poor hubby has to go in early. Searched the cabinets - woohoo! Instant espresso!
Properly caffeinated, I get ready - vaguely wondering of those are old chick spots on my hands and maybe I need to get my eyes checked. I sprint through the house plaguing my children with the light switch and a "Get up! Brush Your Teeth!"
Grumbling, smelly beings crawl from their rooms and beat each other senseless over who get the bathroom first. Type A, Pottymouth and Dramaqueen argue about toothbrush usage and who the hell hid the toilet paper?!? I walk blissfully by because I have to go wake the Baby Beefy. He is a cute little fart and a total cock blocker. This is what happens when you let the baby sleep with you. He used to smell like baby, now he's starting to smell like the rest of those midgets who live with me. As I convince him he needs to get up, I then remember the name of the baby mama from a conversation from three days ago at work. Bridgett Monahan!
I load the monsters in the van and proceed to drop everyone off - three separate stops! Of course Type A is
laughing at Pottymouth (whose mouth is off and running with colorful language! Fucking A!) and Dramaqueen is busy dancing like a mad person in the back seat to that hooker nut job, Britney Spears. Beefy screams as his BBq chip hook-up, Pottymouth has exited the car and left him high and dry.
Baby Beefy being last - I get flipped off by a school bus driver. Yeah, you want me to run over those kids in the cross walk? Who pissed in your cheerios this morning? If you don't like the big bus, get the small one, jerk face.
I race to work while trying to talk to my hubby and then race to the time clock. Only to discover this little fucker needs to be warmed up to clock in. No joke. It doesn't like our Tea Fairy's time card at all. I told the maintenance guy to knit it a sweater so we could clock in on time. After only three tries today, it spits my card out like 90 year old cigarette smoker.
Whew...

Whoa! Don't trip!
2011-09-07
Okay, so we didn't epically fail at our craft fair but we learned a lot of things. I was disappointed at first, but my sister and I did decide to do this at the last minute. I did sell one painting and got a commission for another involving mummies. We are wanting our stuff to be more mainstream and we got a lot of looks at our crafts. Most importantly we got feedback on what people like and then we discussed what would do well.
I've been inspired to venture into a new area for me - dolls. I am infatuated with a few I've been looking at these past few days and will have to experiment to come up with my style of doll. I did come across some creepy shit while coming up for that perfect idea. My god what the hell are people thinking? Okay, I know what they're thinking, I love creepy stuff to, but man, the ones I saw look like nightmares. I just hope our first steps into this area doesn't trip us and we end up skidding on face first.
On another note, so excited for Larry! The book is doing well - I've been getting a lot of good feedback. I even found out that a teacher was using it for her class! Amazing! Click on the link to get your free copy!
Epic Fail - Crunch Time!
2011-08-30
"MOM I'M HUNGRY!!!!"
Do I ignore that or feed the kids? What to do, what to do?
As I paint, I think, where is the duct tape? No, I can't do that! I get up and make dinner. By the time I sat down back at my desk I'm too tired from all the boy drama, chores and running around to do a painting justice. But the Surly Sue in color - she turned out just like I imagined her. However, I'm cringing with fear at how we'll do at the craft fair this weekend. This is the first time I've done anything like this. I was looking through my work, deciding which ones I'm going to put out and realized how far I've come artistically the past 5 years. I have to say this one I'm very proud of this one. I had six more I wanted to paint but I simply did not have time. As an artist and mama, I find it hard to do both. Time seems to escape me more and more, but I'm having waves of paintings scramble through my head and not enough time to paint them. I want to do a good job and get those ideas on paper but where do I steal the time from? I don't want to epically fail at the craft show and I don't want to fail at being a mama either - AHHHH!!!
The time crunch is upon me! Do any of you artist/writers have that problem too? How do you handle it?
