feature: step into the whimsical, diverse, and frequently race-bent, world of self-taught freelance illustrator asieybarbie

AsieyBarbie is one of my all-time favorite illustrators. She’s a complete badass and a self-taught artist who works exclusively in the digital realm. Recognized for her flare for uncontrived diversity, whimsical and vibrant style, race-bent fan art, and now as an illustrator for the Steven Universe and Adventure Time comics. Her work has been acknowledged by Lupita Nyong’o, Janelle Monae, and others. You can follow her on Tumblr and Instagram, and even submit a request for a commissioned illustration right here.
