My friends are making me watch Jojos Bizarre Adventure for the first time and I’m at the point where now I can never eat cherries again.

Legitimately just said to my friends on discord tonight out loud—

“I may be dumb but I’m not stupid.”

Chugging along but finally scratching a fanart itch I’ve had for a while 🌹

Just paid my deposit to finally start my Masters Degree in the fall!

I’m so excited this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long while and finally getting the chance to tackle it on my own feels so freaking good 😁

Thank you so much!! ❤️

Thanks for hosting! I’m Ashley! 🥰

Thank you! 😊

It’s not large numbers all at once, but I’m definitely losing 3-5 followers a day

Can I just say….

These last couple months I have just spent doing dumb shit. Like fun dumb shit. Watching the Sonic movie, anime, reading. all the things that make my inner child so giddy.

It has been a HUGE breath of fresh air for my overall mental health.

So go do fun dumb shit. It’s awesome.

The one time my bad artist habits are considered a win 😂

Good god I’m a wreck lol

Thank you!! 😊

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

On another note. I have fallen into Marvel Rivals hell.

Yes I now main Bucky and he plays so much like McCree in my Overwatch days I feel like I’m back in 2016 💀

I have an account that has savings buckets and there’s one specifically for booths! When a show is done that booth money goes right back in there for next year :)

I’m cackling

YALL TIKTOK IS BACK (temporarily) MAY THE MEMES RECONVENE

Man waking up this morning and not being able to see my daily memes on TikTok really sucks ☹️

Congratulations! ❤️ I’m Ashley and here are some of my fantasy works!

y’all told me i was crazy when i downloaded all of tiktok and put it on blu-rays but who’s laughing now

Okay if my follower count on Blue Sky surpasses my Twitter I’m gonna delete it and stay here.

Can we talk about how important it is to push through on a piece no matter what?

I've been struggling with painting his cape for DAYSSSS and there's something to be said when the piece finally clicks. So freaking satisfying 😮‍💨

Artists, quote with your sketch and final! ✨

First piece of 2025 and we're kicking off with more tea dragons!

Here's Oolong Tea! I had a lot of fun with this little guy!

Lets see which tea is next 😁

Oh no! Sending love to the adorable brick head 🥺❤️

Been a hot minute. Getting rid of the rust and trying to break this art plateau I’m traversing.

Here’s a fun study from yesterday evening! ❤️

For the first time ever since I’ve had Instagram…I can finally use my actual name as my username without the word ‘art’ next to it.
