The voice behind larry

Hi! My name is Ashley and I am the creator of Larry the Lonesome Alien. I created Larry during my mental health journey as a representation of the overwhelming emotions and situations I personally feel on a daily basis. Larry is able to bring some comical relief to my sometimes not so comical moments. I’ve found laughter and creating art to be one of the best medicines during times of depression, anxiety, insomnia and more. While I know it helps me, I have found laughter to help others as well. Whether you are here because you can relate or simply enjoy the mild humor, Larry is here to bring joy and help you not feel alone. Hope you enjoy the creations I have and will continue to make.

    Rage-Plosion!!

    What is a rage-plosion? Well it is my word for when I absolutely explode with anger.  I could be sitting trying to calmly handle a situation and then after too many attempts I am like an unhinged war machine that only sees red.  It’s not good, like at all.   Not quite sure why this has… Read more

    Juggling Life?

    Have you ever found yourself so overwhelmed with literally everything and anything?  Like you get to a point where having to do something as simple as throwing away something or making a phone call just makes you think you have no time for anything?  Or someone hits you up with a condescending, “oh haven’t heard… Read more
