Reviews
"Giving The Bird is an irreverent collection/character study on whimsical birds accompanied by imaginative descriptions of their unique personalities." — FASHION WEEK DAILY
"Straying from my usual murder-myster-whodunits, Ashley Longshore’s Giving the Bird, a humorous take on avian personalities paired with colorful illustrations, has been a top-tier addition to my coffee table. The Southern-born artist, dubbed the “feminist Andy Warhol,” had a studio in New Orleans and will showcase her work at the Aqua Art Miami fair in December. Flipping through hyperbolic tales of birds such as Mrs. Gooch, Looloo, and Babs immediately incites laughter (Mrs. Gooch’s nest smells like “Chanel No. 5 and mothballs”). Each tale is just as remarkably amusing and specific as the next, and I’m most certainly going to start rattling off some of Longshore’s hilarious (albeit inappropriate) quips in everyday life." — Danielle Wallace, GARDEN & GUN
