Illustration of a cat with a tiara, framed in gold. A banner reads “God Dammit Donut.” Markers and pencils are placed alongside.
I’ve been doing conventions for years, but every one still feels like the first day of school.

Thank you! Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I *just* was thinking of you this morning because I finally committed to sticking your sticker to something (my sketchbook!) and was wondering if I'd see you this weekend.
Prepping for FanExpo Cleveland—a little art, a little inventory, a lot of Y2K pop hits.
Bring your own tasks and hang out.

Close-up of a hand holding an enamel pin shaped like a grumpy orange and yellow fish with detailed fins. The background is blurred greenery.
My Grumpy Goldfish enamel pin inventory is getting very low (only FIVE left!), and I don't plan on restocking. Grumpy is a Twitch stream staple... the real ones know 😆
Buy the last few here: www.ashleyvillers.com/shop1/p/grum...
A collection of hand-drawn art cards is displayed in an open folder. Each card features a colorful portrait of a character. Next to it, on the right, is a drawing of a grumpy cat with the text "Goddammit Donut." Stickers of the same cat image and artistic supplies are visible in the background.
I’ll be in Artist Alley at Fan Expo Cleveland this weekend 👀
Booth A812.
I’m bringing original paintings, licensed sketch card work, prints, and a bunch of blank variants for commissions.
If you’re coming, tell me what fandom you’re repping so I can be ready.

A watercolor brush and two watercolor paint tubes, one yellow and one gray, sit on a vibrant color swatch grid.
Ending the week grateful for this weird little art corner of the internet. Thanks for hanging out in streams, liking my art, and cheering on the slow creative process.
If you’ve ever wondered what a 50/10 Pomodoro co-working stream feels like… it’s basically a playlist-fueled art studio with snack breaks.
I’ll be live today updating listings, drawing, and pretending I don’t have 47 tabs open.

Live from the studio 3 days a week
• Tues (12–5 PM ET) Art Studio Co-Working
• Wed (1–5 PM ET) Art Lounge
• Thurs (1–5 PM ET) Sketchbook Drawing
I’ve been leaning into longer, more focused sessions so we can actually settle into the work together.

I know many of you have been eagerly waiting for a second edition, and I promise you, it's definitely in the works! Though it's taking a bit longer than anticipated, progress is being made, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share it with all of you soon!
Colored pencil drawing of purple and blue roses surrounding a large bee. The art is bordered with ornate golden frame.
I just wanted to share some exciting news with you all! Back in 2017, I was lucky enough to bring a passion project to life—my very own coloring book called Color Your Kingdom 🎨 It's filled with 21 hand-drawn images of plants and animals, all framed with ornate designs.

Illustration of a woman in profile with flowing hair, wearing a decorated headband. Leaves and a bird adorn her shoulder
Been thinking a lot about the art I’ve created and what themes I’d like to revisit.
This graphite illustration is probably one of my favorites, a mashup of folklore, fairytales, and religious stories.
A realistic pencil drawing of a woman (Selena Quintanilla) with her hand on her face is overlaid on a geometric, purple and red watercolor background, with three black pencils resting on the artwork.
Alright! For real, let’s finish this portrait today on stream. Live now till 5p ET

Dang! That sucks! I was going to switch last year when they stopped letting the free account have access to the automation builder, but was lazy. Forcing me into a paid plan for such a small number of subscribers is the final straw.
EmailOctopus is looking enticing. Maybe MailerLite? I'm interested in hearing any and all opinions and suggestions.
Hey, Artist and Small Biz friends with a small email list (<500), what are you using for newsletters and automations? MailChimp is kicking me out of free, and I'm ready to switch providers. I only need an automated sign-up/welcome email and then one or two newsletters to the audience a month.
