WE ARE LIVE! 40 days of #hardcover! Thanks to everyone who submitted their art this year. Without you, this project wouldn't exist. And without AI, it would be easier to manage and more fun to make. Fuck AI for real... But anyway: tell your friends about #hc2026!

Friends, are you or do you know any graphic designers who are free to take freelance gig on a short notice? Experience in tabletop games is a huge plus! If so, please contact me!

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Every video game -- and every piece of software -- will be personalized exactly to your preferences.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

“I collected bones from charnel houses; and disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame. In a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase, I kept my workshop of filthy creation." 🧪🫀⚗️

We all have forests on our minds. Forests unexplored, unending. Each one of us gets lost in the forest, every night, alone.

Pen and watercolor 

A pack of witches dance around a fire circle summoning a massive demon in the flames. One of our witches is down though, reader. She lets her sisters know that she won’t be continuing the circle. “Gotta sit this one out, sisters,” she says. “Rolled my ankle.” 
 
I played around with adding a lot of detail to this scene (more shadows, trees in the background, etc.) I think the simpler version works but I’m not sure how I feel about the fire demon drawing. I think I like it. Was having trouble getting the composition of the scene set up with a text bubble in the bottom right. I do like the purple against the black dresses and little boots.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

This past year I figured out how to screen record, and captured my process for coloring my illustrations in Photoshop. I put a flat color layer under my line art, scan and overlay my own watercolor texture, then adjust hue, color balance, and levels until I get it to look the way I want.

“I have been in love with no one, and never shall," she whispered, "unless it should be with you." 🩸 Carmilla, by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

illustration by Abigail Larson inspired by the 1872 "Carmilla" novella by J. Sheridan Le Fanu depicting Carmilla leaning into Laura whispering passionately to her. Laura looks a little concerned by what she hears.

A bewitching banquet 🩸 Happy October!

2019 illustration by Abigail Larson depicting a witches' banquet scene. Three witches and a large demon are enjoying an Autumnal feast, and on the floor beneath the table goblins and tentacles spill out from under the tablecloth. A black cat reaches up toward a tentacle and bats fly overhead.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.
