Don’t have class or simply feel like pulling a Ferris Bueller? You’re in luck. Over-the-top artist, Ashley Longshore, is starting this weekend in Dallas with a *very* loud bang.

WHO?

New Orleans based pop artist Ashley Longshore.

WHAT?

In-your-face color, blinding sparkle, lucite trays with Lil Wayne’s face, hand-painted Mark Cross bags, bedazzled paintings, rugs that resemble sapphires, Jesus wearing Gucci, life size lollypops, and beaded pouches. Oh, and a meet and greet.

WHERE? 

For Home Forty Five Ten on McKinney Ave.

WHEN?

Today, Friday the 15th from 12 to 3 pm.

WHY?

You’ll expose yourself to beautifully saucy art, stare at work you can’t afford, laugh with this no-filter glam queen and have a valid reason to dress up all while not wasting away a beautiful day.

If only my dining room looked like this…

I can’t wait to have Lil Wayne grace the coffee table in my apartment. And seriously, follow Ashley on Instagram – @ashleylongshoreart. You’ll thank me later.

Happy Friday!
