Been working on a little prototype over the last month inspired by cave exploration in Minecraft. In it, you descend into an abandoned space colony to explore. You have relays, which when connected relay both power and oxygen. Your own oxygen is limited, but is restored when you are near a relay.

2 NEW epic images of Phobos over Mars just released by @esa.int Mars Express

This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus–Valles Marineris

Full resolution 300MP(!) & info on: flic.kr/p/2rMW4so

A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.

For day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar, I present this animation I did about three years ago, showing a flight through a type of space colony called a Stanford Torus.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

here is the finished artwork rotated i guess it does read better lol
Painting of a young girl wading through the water of a pond, we mostly focus on her reflection which shows her looking over her shoulder determinedly. She has an archery bow slung over her back and is holding an arrow. In the reflection we can see that cabins in a forest are a-blaze

Halloween is almost here 🖤🍷🩸
Illustration by Abigail Larson for "The Horror Tarot" depicting a seance scene in tones of red. Hands rest on a planchette hovering over a Ouija board. There's a red curtain backdrop, and a vintage brass lamp with a red glass shade lights the scene. Small candles and a red glass water pitcher and goblet are arranged on the table. An illustration by Abigail Larson from "The Horror Tarot" depicting someone fast asleep in a large green antique bed while goblins with glowing yellow eyes and shadowy hands creep out from the darkness unnoticed. Illustration for the Horror Tarot of the Queen of Cups card showing a vampire in a Victorian dress drinking blood from a goblet. This illustration is from "The Horror Tarot" deck published by Insight Editions and illustrated by Abigail Larson. Illustration is a stylized version of "the chariot" tarot card depicting a black horse-drawn carriage approaching an ominously glowing cliff. The horse is rears at the edge of the deep red precipice. The background shows a large tree obscured by thick mist.

QRP your dark art 👀
A humanoid creature struggling to remove a red string or worm-like substance from its ear. The creature has a skull instead of a face, it's yelling and distressed. Bones of lower jaws belonging to reptile-like creatures are behind the humanoid in a circular formation. An astronaut on top of a pile of skulls. It looks like they're eating or coughing worm-like creatures, some of those are either coming out or in from the suit. Their helmet broken. There are eel-like creatures around. Surrealistic humanoid creature being reached out by hands coming out from darkness. Black and White painting of a humanoid statue. It's breaking into pieces while black tentacles and darkness come out of it. Its head is torn in two, teeth coming out of it as if it were a mouth. The creature is holding a bright red heart and on its hand and a big hole in its chest is visible.

I've been working my way through #Silksong recently, so it was a genuine pleasure to remake my original Hallownest in all its frankly ridiculous level of detail. Particularly pleased with my tiny rendition of Hornet with her needle.

Time to post one of my favorite old illustrations. :)
I created it for a group show resolving around botanical visuals. During this time I read a lot about the ISS and how they grew plants in there to test botanical behavior, which also sparked dreams about deep space travels.

Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕
