WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
(ノ ˘_˘)ノ🎨 I’m Ash, and I’m an artist, designer + writer based in Porto, Portugal.
When I’m not working on an illustration, animation or tattoo I’m usually dabbling in creative direction, project management or visual storytelling. From time to time I also publish a hefty zine about art + life called Loose Ideas. I’ve worked on projects in the US, Cuba, Central America, Eastern Europe and throughout Scandinavia, and I invite any and all opportunities to expand that list! I’m especially keen on those involving humor, good colors and an international lens.
