a self indulgent comic about the future

[full comic and afterward under the cut!]

In a world where digital identity often overshadows authenticity, Ashton Wood emerges not merely as an influencer but as a curated canvas of modern femininity, resilience, and style. From the sun-drenched shores of the Gold Coast to the pages of MAXIM Australia and the polished campaigns of Louis Vuitton, Ashton’s journey is more than aesthetic—it’s aspirational.

Born on July 2, 1994, Ashton carved out her space in the digital sphere with a camera, charisma, and an eye for storytelling. What began in 2013 as a humble Instagram feed quickly evolved into a lifestyle brand. Today, she stands as a beacon to over 500,000 followers on Instagram and a loyal YouTube audience that values not only her fashion sense, but also her honest reflections on life, love, and self-discovery.

Ashton’s visual identity—clean, sun-kissed, effortlessly chic—is only part of the story. Behind the lens is a woman with depth: a former journalism student who traded the newsroom for the world stage, not to escape the truth, but to tell it her own way. Whether she's co-hosting Common Chaos, a podcast tackling everything from mental health to the messiness of growing up, or opening up about her wellness routines and insecurities, Ashton doesn’t just sell lifestyle—she lives it.

What sets Ashton Wood apart isn’t her wardrobe or her collaborations with Mejuri or Sisters & Seekers. It’s her ability to make you feel like you’re sitting across from her, barefoot, talking about everything and nothing over oat milk lattes. She is approachably aspirational—the friend you want to be and be around.

There’s a quiet power in how Ashton curates her life. In an age of filtered realities, her version of authenticity doesn’t scream—it whispers, glows, and glides across the screen. Her brand is one of elegance with ease, ambition softened by empathy, and influence grounded in relatability.

She doesn’t just enter the room— she claims it.

Lace and plaid, shadow and light, a storm in silk, and the silence that follows her unapologetic presence.
