Hello everyone! My name is Abi and I'm an illustrator and convention artist based in Norfolk, UK. I've funded multiple collections of enamel pins so far, including designs for others in the chronically ill, neurodivergent and queer communities. I love creating designs that empower and uplift people: This year I am returning to my artistic roots and creating new designs that are more fantastical in nature and Pintopia 2025 was the perfect opportunity to try out a new platform and a new approach to my enamel pin creations! I hope to keep making awesome pins with your help! If you'd like to see my illustration work you can find my portfolio at www.abistevens.com. If you'd like to shop my existing products you can find them at abistevens.etsy.com. I am on Bsky as AbiStevensArt, and on Instagram as AbiStevens_Art!

A chance encounter with World's Finest #247 at the age of nine ignited an undying passion for comics in me. Titles like Uncanny X-Men, Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, Miracleman, and Swamp Thing only deepened that love. But as time passed, the soul of superhero comics seemed to fade, overshadowed by corporate agendas and formulaic plots. Disillusioned, I faced a stark choice: bemoan the decline, or become the change. X53 Studios: A New Beginning Out of that decision, X53 Studios was born. This isn't just a comic book company; it's a rebellion against the mundane and predictable. Here, characters come alive, and stories aren't just told—they're unleashed. We sidestep the corporate machine, using platforms like Kickstarter to connect directly with fans who crave authenticity and passion. Join us. Be part of this revolution. Together, we'll bring back the soul of comics and blaze a new trail. Let's f**king go!!!
