Ashley King Art

Being a freelancer can be a whirlwind. One month you may be scrounging to find work while the next you may be overwhelmed by it. I’m so thankful to have my art be my second career for those days when the design work isn’t flowing. And then there’s times like right now when my graphic design business is booming, and just I can’t help but miss the calm days when I can stand in front of a canvas painting for hours. Ah, the life of the creative entrepreneur. Photo by @aaronsambeyfilm

I’m not a huge observer of holidays but being a designer, I do love the human-designed, gimmicky aspect of them - the decorations, the iconography, the colours...So to acknowledge St Patrick’s Day today, this green piece seems highly appropriate! 8x8 acrylic, paper on board

Oh my goodness March is just flying by! Can you believe the month is half gone already?! Things have been crazy busy in my studio office with design work really ramping up for the year. I have my heart set on painting in the evenings this week to help clear my mind of the daily hustle and bustle. In the meantime, I’ve added a bunch of new work for sale on my website. Be sure to check it out! http://ashleyking.art

I’m all about the art smalls these days. The fact that they can go anywhere, in any little space, or even just on a table top, is special. Yesterday I did a photo shoot of my newer pieces and I’m hoping to have them all up for sale on the site by the end of the weekend.

We’re well into the second week of March which means only two weeks left of the Industrial Textures online exhibition before it’s gone forever! If you haven’t popped in to take a look, now’s the time! Http://Onexhibit.art
