The Strength of Diversity by Ashley Slade

Power to the Poster

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

I help clients express their ideas, package their content, and create their brand identities through illustration. My personal artwork is highly influenced by science fiction, Afro-Futurism, 80's nostalgia, mid-century design, and sequential art.

Artist Statement

A subject that I am very passionate about is the lack of diversity in film, books, offices, neighborhoods, and most of all schools. In this country, many school districts are segregated due to racial biases in community planning. Children in these schools aren't exposed to the beauty and benefits diversity can bring to their classrooms. On top of that, many of the books children read in school lack characters who are racial minorities, LGBTQ, disabled, or any of the other qualities that make us a diverse nation (and world). I included the quote by Maya Angelou as a call to action to parents (and other caregivers/guardians) to start teaching and exposing their children to different cultures and viewpoints. — Ashley Slade
