The Works of Tobie Abad

Famous (or is it Infamous?) for running World of Darkness games, Tobie has mastered the art of running "spooky" adventures.  The artworks here, used to help make his stories much more visual, show a creative bent in using whatever material is available at the moment and with a flair for composition.

See more of Tobie's work at his website.
