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".

I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +

Ahhh I see what happened..... Twitter continues to find new depths of suckage so more people are jumping ship.

I'm so glad I left when I did.

Well. Welcome, everyone!

The dangers of magic 💙

(MTG inspired personal piece)
Digital illustration depicting a scene from a classroom of magic users. One student at the centre attempts to control the unwieldy water based magic that rises up out of a book. She has an expression of shock as the magic backfires on her. Behind her is another student and a teacher who gazes on in disappointment.

Because I've already had to read several horrible stories today about AI and also see friends' jobs get stolen, I'm reposting my anti-AI pins. 100% human designed by me for my fellow haters.

Anti-AI pins have been RESTOCKED in my shop! (Shipping US & Canada only). Get 'em before the AI bubble bursts. 😉🤞 shop.breelundberg.com
Photo of round-ish acrylic pin badges on backing cards. The pins are circles with the letters "AI" crossed out. There are two color versions. One is pink and dark blue, the other is green and light blue.

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!!
A portrayal of a redhead woman from the tights up with a deep burgundy background and white flowers scattered all around. Her profile is looking at the left and her skin is very pale, with tattoos on her neck and on her stomach. She’s wearing an almost black suit with a deep V cut that reaches her belt.

The Parting Tree 🍃🛖
A digital ink drawing of a human figure viewed from behind as they stand next to a pine tree while looking at the silhouette of a city in the distance. Their clothing drapes on the ground similarly to a pool and then forms a rivulet of water that "leaks" out of the panel into the frame.

Just a gentle reminder that for a lot of artists on Bluesky .. the last day for shipping works may be today or have already passed.

If you love their work.. consider a commission , tipping their PayPal , Kofi or Throne.

It’s been a tough year for artists and we need to show them some love. 🥰 🫶

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.

And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

I think the exhaustion from the semester is finally hitting me.
I feel so drained, mentally and physically.

The good news is, unless I somehow *really* fucked up on my finals (which I doubt), I have completed my Masters program, and will be awarded my degree officially by mid-Januaryish!!!
