Annataz si Emosewa!

One of the most kick-ass magic users in the DCU, and I always love trying to pronounce her backwards spells.

Don't be a bully, bub!

As a shy, overweight nerd who dealt with the occasional bully I only needed to look as far as the spandex-wearing hero’s of my own childhood to find inspiration for my sticker design. Little me had a weakness for X-men trading cards, the cartoon show and comics so I decided to choose characters from my favorite team of mutant do-gooders. For me, Storm and Wolvie always stood out and seemed like an obvious choice as defenders of the “little guy”. 

 I've also decided to include my sketch, just to showcase a little of my process.

Rule 63: Mistress of Magnetism By Pope

My character of choice for this weeks "Rule 63" challenge is my favorite X-Man Villian Magneto!!! Or maybe we should call her Magnette?!?!

Get it...Magnette, Magnet...

Hardy, Har, Har. 

11x14 sketch,  pen, ink paper, gray markers, some photoshop post edits.

Hi! I'm Ashley. Ms. Ribblett if yer nasty.

the damn artist herself

So! Let's keep this short and sweet and so we can get to the weird pictures I draw.

I'm Ashley, a 29yr old illustrator living in Lakewood. I sling coffee by day and do my dirty drawings at night.
I've done lots of different kinds of illustrations over the years (most recently illustrating my first ever comic for Graham Cracker Comics in Chicago!)  but as of late I've found a comfortable niche drawing pinups.

If I'm drawing traditionally my weapons of choice are pencil, ink, marker or watercolor. I don't do much vector work so most of my digital illustration is done by way of tablet in my favorite program Paint Tool Sai and edited in Photoshop.

I also co-run the Cleveland Chapter of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, an alternative style (think cabaret) life drawing group that meets once a month. If you're in the Cleveland area and are in the need to draw some curvy swervy dames, look us up!

Spotlight Henry Pope III 

Former Marine, Freelance Illustrator, Comic Artist, Graphic Designer. 

Badass, Nice Guy. 

Oh boy where do I begin...I have been drawing steady ever since like 2nd grade, I have always loved to draw, loved comics, comic strips, comic characters, cartoons. It's truly one of my first loves. Next to the Ford Mustang and women. 

It all started with Peanuts and Garfield, then Heathcliff and everything Warner Bros. Then it was TMNT (go figure) Bucky O'hare, Usagi Yojimbo, tons of Anime, then it was Marvel Comics, Spider-Man and the Avengers, artists like Todd Mcfarlane, Jim Lee, Erik Larsen, lesser known independent artists like Ben Dunn's Ninja High School, James O'Barr's The Crow and of course Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all creating their own characters and comic book companies inspire me each day to push and work hard to be of that same level, the same success!

I write and illustrate my own webcomic "Pink & Nanook" its a story about two teenage girls who are going to go on a great adventure with each other and become amazing friends for life. Yeah I know it sounds kind of odd for on old marine to be writing and drawing a kinda girly comic book, but I really believe in the story and characters as they have been evolving along with me since I first came up with the idea in 2011. Here is a taste of Pink & Nanook.

So that's the dream, to get to the point where I am publishing and selling my own comics regularly. The day gig is all about looking for a gig. Working as a freelance illustrator, I have to constantly hustle to find jobs, create sales opportunities and foster, grow relationships that are crucial to not only the growth of my business, but myself as person. I place the value of having good people in my life first and foremost and well I do believe I found some in these Scribble Nerds. 

If you would like to see more of my work, or wish to hire me for any commissions or any other creative business needs please contact me as soon as possible! My prices are very reasonable and I am always available!
