Artist Bio
Hello, I’m Ash, a nonbinary & autistic & autistic artist. I’m captivated by art & animals and intrigued by capitalism and its corruptive role in our world. I specialize in digital illustration, visual development, animation, and design. My favorite subject matter is cats!! I am fascinated with semiotics, particularly through color. This, along with the media of the early 2000s & 2010s, have influenced my artistic style and visual aesthetic greatly.
