Yep, it's true - you can now follow me on Twitter, that crazy microblogging service that all the wacky kids are into.
I'll be posting updates about Format No Auto, as well as everything else worth sharing, such as news, music, design tips... I'll try not to post about eating toast or how I need to do laundry :)
Day 7 in a week-long exploration of my eyes; translating this monumental last week. What emerges? Phoenix, owls, butterflies.
I've got much more visual work - please check it all out on Flickr!
Big plans this weekend:
Riding bike = exercise = breaking up the psychic buildup so I can create.
Plus it’s a fast and free way to get around the city.
I’ll probably be living at Our Community Bikes this Friday through Sunday, but it’ll be worth it.
Now with the completion of my site, Format No Auto (along with my Flickr portfolio and this lovely little blog), I need to write up an up-to-date resume. To highlight what I’ve done, what I’m doing, and what I am capable of, to prospective employers/people who like what I do and wouldn’t mind helping me pay rent so I can do more of what I do.
I’ve started sketching already. They’re gonna be based on the design of my new site. Big text. Dark background. I intend to print them at home. Hopefully my old Epson can handle thick card stock. Which reminds me, I need to buy card stock (DeSerres didn’t have any!)
Early next week, I’ll check back in to let you know how these three plans went. I’m excited about all three (yes, even the resume), so it’s not like I’m dreading the tasks. Onward!!!
This is the newest entry from my blog. It's called THE MOMENT. Please check it out!
Hi! I'm Ashley Tanasiychuk. I'm a creator and an explorer.
I like to draw, shoot photos, write, and constantly challenge myself.
Format No Auto is my artistic persona.
Format No Auto was created as a resistance to our tendancy to go into "auto format" mode.
Format No Auto fights everything that is done in a preplanned, predictable manner. And fights to teach lessons.

This band has not completely won me over. But there are days when their raw energy is needed and appreciated. Their most recent album, Kensington Heights, could be their strongest yet.
Listen to track 12: "Do What You Can Do"
Although published 9 years ago, this book seems to have some timeless advice for self promotion. For example, "Define what you do, articulate it in a way others will understand and respond to, and package it and promote it as creatively and effectively as possible."
Although I admit I'm concerned about the upcoming chapter on Internet Marketing. Is it going to start, "Have you heard about this crazy new thing called the World Wide Web..."?
