Of the large batch of portraits I whipped up for Crain’s New York Business in the long-ago of 2021-2024, this was one of my favorites. Though I’ve proven to the world that I have no business designing shop windows for clothing boutiques, the effort was enjoyable. Designer lamps from below, bare bulbs from above, an arid, yellow desert not at all suitable for winter wear or rain gear. I await your dissertations on this perplexing theme.
(And let’s not forget Ashley’s website, jam-packed with portraits and other drawings, his illustrated rant column, The Symptoms, his highly-affordable prints and books currently available, his eagerness for your portrait commission, and his contact email, thrdgll@gmail.com, where he longs to hear from you.)
