One of my favourite oil painters, Henrietta Rae (1859-1928) 🖤 #oilpainting

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 😁

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.

Good god I’m a wreck lol

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 💀

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 ☹️

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 😁

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. MY IDENTITY IS FREE

Quote and post your knight 🗡️ or dragon! 🐉 Been a few years on this one. Based on Holly Black’s ‘The Darkest Part of the Forest’!

Assessing shows for next year, and while I still plan to attend some, I think 2025 will be spent leveling up. I’ve been in such a hibernation state these last several months and it’s time to break that cycle.

Kinda wild I gained almost 800 followers here in 5 days when it took 5 years to get 1600 on Twitter lmaoooo

Tea Dragon Pins! 🫖 I had so much fun making these little guys! Which tea should I draw next? Shop here: www.ashleycassaday.com/store

‘The Equinox’ c. 2020 Can’t believe this piece is over 4 years old now. The myth of Hades and Persephone holds a special place in my heart, and painting this series was definitely one of my favorites years ago 💐

Since everyone is here. Let me reintroduce myself! I’m Ashley! I’m a fantasy digital painter who loves drawing faerie and folklore!

Post your most popular art from Twitter. Not my most popular but this one is a close second 🌈

Oh hello all you new people 😳

Tea Dragon Prints are officially up in my online store! 🍵 Some dragons are in limited supply until restock, so swing on by my Etsy to grab some before they're gone! www.ashleycassaday.com/store

Hi! I'm Shawn! I draw wildlife with flora and fungi in symbiotic relationships! As well as Chinese zodiac animals! Happy Year of the Dragon!!

Dropping some more art to fill up my feed! 😙

Working on an underpainting…”Aphrodite” This is for a group show in just a few weeks. Normally I’d feel ok at this point, but I need to add a lot of gold to this. 😅

Working on my first piece of fanart in 6 years???

Nerdy business talk but there's something to be said about the fact that you've built enough capital in your business to invest in hiring an SEO expert. GROWTH 🌱

Elon Musk is literally hanging out with Ross Perot at his property across the street from my hometown and the fireworks they’re setting off literally sound like bombs what the heck

DRAGONCON 2023!! Headed out to Atlanta tomorrow! I'll be in the Art Show, Booth B26! I have a ton of new goodies from last year and I can't wait to be back! See you soon!! ❤

Next in the Tea Dragon series…Spiced Chai! 🍁 Chai tea originates from India, between 5000 to 9000 years ago. Originally, a King combined a variety of spices to turn into a drink for medical purposes. I love a good iced chai on a hot day, now I want one 😩

Started a new mini series.....Tea Dragons! 🌿🐉 I haven't painted dragons in AGES so this is a fun way to warm myself up to drawing them again! First in the series....Green Tea!

I’M FINALLY HEREEE!! 🥳 I’m Ashley, a fantasy digital painter and illustrator!
