Ashley Lukashevsky Illustration
We were excited to see this illustration by LA based artist & illustrator Ashley Lukashevsky pop up in our Instagram feed recently. She was lucky enough to get our very last Lydia Moyer/ Tero Juuti newsprint poster giveaway. It's the ultimate when something you've had a hand in inspires artwork from others. Ashley does illustrations to "dismantle patriarchal nonsense and systemic racism," and is involved with The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, "a revival of Martin Luther King’s movement to topple the linked systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, and environmental devastation."
