From his recentt solo show "Shinobi Marilyn" at Emily Amy gallery in Georgia, Atlanta, last July. Full description:

"Ashley Anderson’s newly completed series, Shinobi Marilyn. The exciting new series consists of works in a variety of media including painting, drawing, digital collage, and animated gifs. The body of work was initially inspired by an online discovery of imagery embedded in a classic Sega video game from 1987, entitled Shinobi. Convinced the appearance of Marilyn Monroe in the classic game was a posthumous tribute to Andy Warhol created by the game designer in 1980's Japan, Anderson sought to explore the subject further."
