Biography:
ASHLEY CLARK is a multi-media artist and writer, and has been working in the anime style for nearly a decade. Her first webcomic, 'Shades of Red', debuted in 2003.
Ashley has won numerous awards as not only an artist, but also as an AMV creator, cosplayer, and film editor. Within the anime community, Ashley is widely known as Anna May Belle, webmistress of AnimeBelle.com, one of the most highly regarded and popular anime websites in the south. AnimeBelle hosts a gallery containing tens of thousands of photos with hundreds more added after every convention she attends. The website also hosts forums, guest interviews, event reporting, and a convention schedule of southern anime conventions. If it's of interest to southern anime fans, it interests AnimeBelle, y'all!
Ashley is also putting her experience with anime conventions (tallying up at over a decade!) to good use, founding BelleCON in Jacksonville, Florida, May 10th-12th 2013. BelleCON is founded on Ashley's policies that have never changed... Sharing culture grows the community, drama is pointless, and the only thing that can make anime better is a heaping side of southern hospitality.
