I don't have a good headline, but here it is!

My name is Ashley, and I go by BleakNomad online for posting art. This site used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and figured now is the best time.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm a burnt out millennial trying to find their way in life like everyone else. Creating used to be my favorite outlet and that faded well into adulthood. I had all these big dreams of moving away to the West Coast for better opportunities, and because Ohio sucks.

FFWD through all the bumps in the road, a genetic condition kicked in and I'm stuck with an annoying disease that causes tons of muscle pain. With this, being stuck not doing what I truly loved, blah blah blah -

I moved from Ohio to California this year!

I got tired of not helping myself and worrying about feelings to make these big changes, but I feel more at peace. Not only that, I've gotten off my a** and make myself create as much as possible.

What type of art??

Well, with the name BleakNomad - I'm wanting to create art that pushes boundaries and speaks about a lot of the systemic issues in our society. I also draw cute things :3

In a more serious manner - I'm developing a graphic comic series that is finally starting to take shape, so I'll definitely share the process of that.

More about you?

Just ask! I'm an open book and do not mind comments, DMs, etc.!
