Abigail Ervin-Penner is an illustrator based in Lincoln, NE who has crafted a career for herself by creating her own unique world of monsters and storytelling. In her own words: "I have created a world encompassed by darkness.It is a darkness that is not inherently frightening. It is a darkness that does not scream for the light, but rather makes its own beauty.It is a darkness filled with night-blooming flora and a full moon in every sky. The stars know me by name, and so do the creatures that dwell below.I have created a world where darkness does not parallel fear. Where monsters are not equal to evil. In the world that I have created, there is only hope. And growth. And wonder.I make drawings, and I make them a lot. I always have, and I imagine I always will.The road to get here, however, was steep and strenuous. Internal battles with my demons led me to a place of promise. Physical battles with chronic illness led me to a place of peace.My mother's resilience taught me my own. In this, and through this, I made a living out of drawings."Check out Abigail's website and shop HERE. Follow Abigail on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You can find Andrea's music on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, and anywhere else that music can be streamed or downloaded!Follow Andrea on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.
