Jessica Atchley
I was born in Louisville, KY on January 9th, 1989. I am currently a freelance artist as well as a part time worker. I’ve been drawing seriously since I was in the 4th grade. I can work in a variety of styles, though I have a heavy Asian influence. I enjoy foreign cultures, particularly South Korea. I studied there for the summer of 2011.
I can also be found at Deviantart, Facebook, and Smackjeeves.
