Philip Harris's beautiful illustrated alphabet, From A to B and through to Z is a grotesque wonder of animals acting out different trades, and each drawing is more fabulous than the last. Mr Harris has graciously provided us with five of these, at a high enough resolution that you can really see the awesomeness:

  • D is for Docks
  • M is for Market
  • P is for Performance
  • U is for Underground
  • W is for Worship

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Cthulhu’s parents are going to be heartbroken when they learn that he has forsaken obscure eldritch blasphemies unknowable by men and joined the Eastern Orthodox. Hopefully it’s just a rebellious phase…

    Wow, those are glorious.  Thank you so much.  (I think.  I’m glad I saw these in the morning, so they probably won’t haunt my dreams.)

    The difference between “anthropomorphic art” and “furry art” is aptly demonstrated here. What a wonderful collection!
