Abigail Larson


Abigail had ambitions of becoming an opera singer and joining the circus whilst growing up, and although neither of those ended up working out too well, she still enjoys both.
She began drawing with ink and painting with watercolour, she has developed a taste to flat digital colouring, however, and only gets a craving from paint now and again. Her inspirations change almost weekly, ranging from Edgar Allen Poe to Lewis Carroll to Dr.Seuss. Her greatest artistic influences have been Arthur Rackham, John William Waterhouse and Edward Grey.
Any spare time that's not spent basking in the darkness or watching re-runs of The Addam's Family, she is creating art for private clients, illustrating bookks and spending time with her favourite long-legged beasts, ghouls, ghosts and various other things that go bump in the night.

Abigail's work actually really influenced me during my Alice in Wonderland project during my last term. At first her work came across very mysterious to me as she usually uses very dark shades in her work. The deeper you look into her work though the more you discover. The amount of detail in all of her drawings is just amazing and I'm hoping I will be able to say I give my work this amount of attention and try hard with everything I do in my upcoming projects.
