A couple of months ago, Holly of Decor8 and Ez of Creature Comforts invited me to be one of the 8 artists for Kindred : a seasonally curated selection of complementary art and photography from artists to your desktop. Of course I jumped at the opportunity, and the final result was this illustration I made for the topic of Spring.
You can read more about my interview, and download my illustration for your desktop here.
For those who prefer it to be a print on your desk instead of your dektop, I also made limited edition gocco prints of the illustration (I had to make small changes to the spot coloring of the illustration for it to be printed via gocco!) You can purchase the print over in my shop.
I’m so excited to be among the company of many wonderful artists:
Danna Ray, Ez of Creature Comforts, Fifi Lapin, Hadley Hutton, Holly of Decor8, Jennifer Buckley, Kiki & Polly, Marisa Anne Haedike, and Shanon Gass.
{Thank you so much for the opportunity Holly + Ez!}

Hi Amy
thanks for your endless inspiration… my fish is like this one and is so big after growing away in a corner of our kitchen that I wish he could escape like yours…
i love the expression of the pic you drew,Amy
to me the closing eyes express more feeling better than smiling eyes and smiling lips
and the colors help emphasize the feeling ever more,
great illustration you have here 🙂
