“At the tender age of 18 months, Ashley Anderson drew a man with fingers and toes on his bedroom closet door. Since beginning his sketchpad habit at the age of 5 or 6 due to the influence of his good ol’ Dad, Ashley has amassed a collection of over 200 sketchpads-mostly full-and has acquired a BFA in Painting (philosophy minor) from Georgia Southern University. Blaming an encounter with a mitigated bolt of lightning in 1997 for his decision to pursue a career in the rather precarious field of art, Ashley has nonetheless managed to sell his wares here and there in the form of paintings, drawings, shirts, stickers, and even gourds and Christmas ornaments. Ashley currently resides in Atlanta, GA and has a penchant for sweet tea, Indian food, and long, compound sentences. His favorite artists are Wayne Thiebaud, Tim Hawkinson, and Jasper Johns. He thanks you for your interest in his work!” http://www.flickr.com/photos/pressstarttobegin
