Book Reading: Listen Free

You guessed it! Today, I am reading from my very own book, Under Contract: Life in the Middle of Dreams, a verse novel. The first Christian verse novel to my knowledge. Have you heard of a verse novel before? An example of authors such as Ellen Hopkins, Sonya Sones and Lisa Schroeder write verse novels. Enjoy your viewing while listening to this book reading. I am super excited sharing this with you. This is probably one of my favorite recordings for my youtube channel so far.  If you need to purchase a copy, you can do so here http://amzn.to/2lqxgUP . Tell a friend, share this video, write a book review on Amazon, watch the actual video on Youtube and/or comment below. All of these help me as an artist not starve. You don't want to see the hungry me. I promise! Much love to all of you!

I'll see you next time.

Shine,
Ashley Murphy

What's In My Trunk: First Vlog

At the beginning of the year, I begin praying for the Lord to show me where I am at in this current season of life. I was looking for His guidance for outlets to just be me. Me as a child of His to shine love and creativity among everyday normal life. Aiming towards several different outlets, vlogging on youtube came before me. Something I'd not considered possible. So thankful for His guidance, see my first vlog below, comment, like, and or share the video. Check back weekly as I get in the groove of this new journey! I think you are going to like it. Remember you were made to shine. You are loved. You are His. Have an awesome day!

My first sketch since junior high

This Kiss...xo by Ashley Murphy 2011

This sketch was inspired by author, photographer,

artist friend of mine, Cathy Bueti.

Along my writing trail, I met several different

authors, Cathy being one. She actually published her book
Breastless in the City a few years prior to me.
Since then, she has moved forward

in the mix media art world.

I have enjoyed watching her grow as an artist this past

year. So now as I grow deeper in my art

she has inspired me to try new things while finding

just who I am as an artist!

My first week on this art journey, I sketched a face

for the first time since junior high. It was

inspired after seeing Be a Star by Cathy.

Be on the look out for other sketches,
I sketched one each night that week! Fun stuff...
