Hey hey, #PortfolioDay!

I'm Ashley, a NY-based illustrator who works on book covers, tarot cards, and TTRPGs!

I'm on a mission to do more traditional work, and here is one I made last summer. I'm dying to do more, so keep an eye out!!!

#DarkArt #Illustration
An interpretation of the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in which the knight is seduced by both Lord and Lady Bertilak. Here we see the knight in between the couple, head tilted back, eyes closed, as Lord Bertilak wraps a large hand around his neck and presses in close from behind. Lady Bertilak is pulling off his green belt with one hand, and reaching below to undo the lacing on his pants with another. The knight’s visible hand squeezes Lady Bertilak’s thigh tightly. A young woman with reddish blond hair in a Victorian updo sits in an intricately carved stone throne. She looks with a mocking smirk at the viewer, and an elegant silver crown dangles from one hand. Monstrous hands with long black nails reach from behind the throne, and are scoring deep gouges into the stone. A graphite drawing of a woman with a huge flower crown and long, flowing hair with her head tilted up and back. She is in front of a huge stylized sun, done in gold leaf. The words "Daughter of the Sun" surround the sun. It was inspired by the Green Lung song "May Queen".

That feeling when you've read this week's module's Recommended Reading already, partially for fun, in the course of doing research for a paper 😂

Anywayyyyy like I said last week, libraries are super interesting and full of drama!
Screengrab of the name of the paper I read just for kicks last week. Title is: Francoeur, S. (2011). Prudence and controversy: The New York Public Library response to post-war anti-communist pressures. Library & Information History, 27(3), 140-160

"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself"

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

I'm on both of these lists and I think an AI Luddite list it some shit as well and I'm like..... Honestly, blocking and feed filtering working as intended.

I don't want to see those dipshits, they don't want to see me, win win.

A bit confused about the drama one, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ whatever

It's still International Lesbian Day for one hour here, it counts and colloquially so do these two.

Prompt #21, "Love of my life"

#OC-tober #scribbles #inamorata
Two women, one in black and one in white, lying on their backs in opposite directions, their heads turned to face each other, fingers loosely playing with one another's hair, noses just barely not touching. They gaze at one another, infatuated.

The image is a six panel black and white comic Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..." Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that" Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope" Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine" Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope." Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"
