2d rough animation of a girl arguing with her friend. she's obviously frustrated and its bleeding into anger.

storyboards from a sequence about two best friends getting into a spat over entering the carnival funhouse before opening. done in photoshop.

black and white illustration of a woman in an intricate Victorian style dress holding her own head on a platter. Behind her are a bunch of picture frames with botanical drawings. All depth is created through lines inspired by stained glass and topographic maps.

four page spread from my comic 'Little Red Heart' about a monster hunter struggling to come to terms with the fact that the woman she's in love with is a werewolf. The pages are of a woman in a cloak walking through the woods and approached a lone cabin that has been trashed inside.

I had to entirely re-export this. I drew it nine years ago and the files were corrupted.

It was funny opening up the old files and seeing how different my priorities were and how many basic mistakes I was making.

This sequence was my baby back then and I remember being so proud of it.

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

Illustration by Abigail Larson depicting a scene from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee". Two lovers embrace at the edge of the sea, water splashes around them and the surrounding rocks. A full moon shines over them, and storm clouds loom.

Rats have swarmed around him, chewing the ropes that hold him down. This illustration is featured in "Sticker Jigsaw: The Edgar Allan Poe Collection" for Macmillan Books.

Illustration by Abigail Larson for Macmillan's "Edgar Allan Poe Sticker Jigsaw" book. The illustration is a scene from Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven". The narrator is at the center of the image looking up at at raven perched above an open doorway. Behind the narrator is a tall window with red curtains, and the ghost of Lenore lurks nearby. A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

for real, I'm glad it's helped others but yoga has the tendency to make my pain worse!

Rhianna Pratchett @rhi.bsky.social · 1d

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

new ghosts

a man in shadow, stepping into light. his obscured face is stretched and warped

a misty, skull-like visage. one eye hole is a socket, the other is like a hole in a mask a frantic eye is peering through

a dog-like figure with a bald, grinning human head balanced sideways on its neck

a sepia toned screaming man, his upper head drifting into a white blur

Love to read and it feels like such an indulgence I have to make room for around work and parenting

I make an effort to get in a few minutes of reading every day but completely sympathize with the need to vege out for 45 minutes in front of the tv before passing out at night

Ada Palmer @adapalmer.bsky.social · 2d

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

LITTLE NIGHTMARES: DESCENT RO NOWHERE #1 releases today.

This is a book we have been working on for years. I am very proud of it and hope it offers a tiny bit more insight into the mysteries of The Counties.
