About Pickled Punks

Pickled Punks is an illustration and apparel brand featured at the Haunted Happenings Marketplace in Salem, Massachusetts. Created by artist Isaac Bidwell, Pickled Punks draws inspiration from urban legends, folklore, monsters, and — in a charmingly unexpected twist — pets.

The collection includes original illustrations, printed apparel, coloring books, and hand-painted sideshow banners that capture the spirit of carnival sideshow art with a contemporary edge. Every piece is designed and produced by Isaac, making each item a genuine piece of original artwork.

Sideshow Art Meets Salem

Traveling from Syracuse, New York, Pickled Punks brings a traveling carnival of creativity to Derby Square. The artwork strikes a perfect balance between creepy and charming, drawing from classic sideshow traditions while telling new stories about the creatures and legends that lurk in our collective imagination.
