ANNOUNCING THE KICKSTARTER FOR MY NEXT ARTBOOK!

CLICK HERE

My name is Francine Bridge - also known online as Witnesstheabsurd. I've worked as a freelance illustrator in the games, music and fashion industries, most recently having worked as Art Director on the upcoming "Slave Zero X" . I've also published two artbooks - the Occult Supergiant Primer and Ars Goetia, both of which were funded via Kickstarter. It's been several years since my last, and i'm excited to announce my next self-published artbook - "One Thousand Heavens: A Cyberspace Bestiary".

It's planned to be an 80-page artbook featuring paintings of cyberspace Avatars and the Pilots that control them - an assortment of monsters and cyberpunk weirdos battling for control over the Throne, a mysterious entity that will permit one Pilot to become God and redefine existence. I'm launching a new Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for printing a 300 copy run and also funding the completion of the book itself!

Backers will be able to reserve one of these copies for themselves in physical and PDF format - after the KS ends, they will never be sold at this price again, and only a limited number will be printed for this first run! Shipping anywhere in the world!

Tumblr was where I got my start and everything I have flowed from the support I received on this site - it means so much to be here again, able to share my work with you all. To anyone who chooses to pledge, to share, or even look at this art i've made - thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.

Attached below are a couple shots sent in by a buyer that do a really good job at showcasing the amazing quality of the prints

If you've already bought prints or don't really have space available on your walls to put them on, another option to support me is Patreon!

To celebrate me finally getting appropriate mental health care, I'm publicly releasing my latest piece

Fireprayer charcoal and pastel on Canson paper 24 x 14.4 cm

first seen on Patreon on July 11th

An alternate, transitional version of the drawing was also captured.

"Fireprayer Ghost" is a version of the piece composed only of lights and midtones, obtained through carving said lights out of the toned paper using an eraser only, then cleaned up with white pastel.

you can find prints of both of these versions on my store
