etsy shoppe news:
to hell with my etsy shoppe.
artwork that is currently for sale will be listed
here on my blog.
i really don't have the time to keep up with all of these different sites.
i get overwhelmed and then it gets to where i don't behave responsibly.
I'm centralizing :)
for the time being.
I have two paintings for you today and of Course i'm linking them to
ppf.
of Course.
You really need to link at
ppf - as long as paint is involved, you get to meet some good artists..
and really. i've seen a few links where i'm not really sure that there was paint...
okay. it was me. i've linked stuff done with markers :)
but not today!
today is paint!
and. guess what?
i posted at
butterfly effect this week. my theme was portraits. so i am linking there as well.
i will really seriously Kiss Your Ass and
tell you that you are Beautiful (not just pretty!) if you go over there.
I am on a personal neverevereverever ending mission to make it the best linky ever.
okay. a really good one anyway.
here is the post where you comment to win this handbound journal:

| hardbound covers, decorative papers inside, sewn binding |
i saw this on FB and ganked it because i know you'll love it.

god knows who posted this first, but i'm sharing it again here because i find the imagery Soooo inspiring.i think you'll like it.
see what i'm sayin?
guess what?
i'm going to interview me.
but really what i want to do is interview You.so i'm going to share these questions and interview me.
you can gank the questions and post them on your blog and then link it in the comments or email me.then i can see how my interview with you turned out :)
*and if you are doing blogtoberfest, let's face it:you're hurting for interesting post material and we're only a week into it.*
1. what is your name and stuff? and any other good information. like bank account details.my name is amy. my real name is not amy but my parents have called me amy since i was a baby.so i guess it is my name now.i am an artist and a writer. i have a dog that is just mine and a bunch of cats. we have other dogs too, but they aren't chibi.two years ago, i was dangerously close to becoming a doctor in I/O Psyc - then one of my professors asked me to make a timeline of my life. i had to chart my highs and lows and all major life events.he knew something about me that i hadn't known until then.i dropped out and decided i'd be an artist.
so now i am.
it was scary.
2. what is super hot about you? <--- don't you Dare skip this one. answer it.my hair.my hair is superhot and i dare you to disagree.
3. don't lie or cheat: what is under your couch right now?a few puzzles, some board games, a smutty book and some dog toys.
4. when was the last time you shaved your legs?last sunday??
5. what did you have for breakfast?water chestnuts and chai teaalso cod liver oil, but i don't want to get into that whole thing right now.
6. if you could choose a new name, what would you name yourself?twinkle or maybe charlotte
7. have you ever had plastic surgery?no. but not because i think it's bad. i just haven't. yet.
8. are you afraid of the dark?Yes.
9. are you a hermit?okay. i checked wikipedia and if this is right: "In modern colloquial usage, the term "hermit" is sometimes used for anyone living a life apart from the rest of society, or who simply does not participate in social events as much as is common, regardless of their motivation in doing so."then i might be a little bit.but not too much.
10. why do you blog?because i love talking and writing. what a retarded question.
The End.
so it would be cooool. Cool! if you copy pasted those and answered them. i want to know.i bet you other people want to know too.
and really. blogtoberfest is leaving us all a little out of words and ideas.
44 insanely flattering remarks:

I will let you know when you get around to interviewing me.

Just flew over from linking at The Butterfly Effect! Thank you for blogging! Can't sleep - - you are definitely wonderful entertainment! Love your paintings .. all of them. Donna
another hugely entertainibg post and some great and unique art as always. just out of interest, do you make a living from art? that's pretty much the dream, even for an awl doll like me! i love your interview and think i'd like to try answer those questions as well although i have to ask, what is blogtoberfest and why haven't i heard of it before now? i must find more hours to spend online-it seems i'm out of the loop!
ok, so I could talk to you chicklet. Just flew over from linking at The Butterfly Effect. Can't sleep. YOU are the best late night entertainment I've stumbled across in some time. Love your paintings .. all of them. Interview? commendable idea .. you have my creative wheels turning. I'll be back. goodnight from an old hill town in Mexico, Donna
I only read you half way cause I'm in a hurry and have to go to the city. But I had to say I love these two faces. The second one is my fave. I'll do the interview for sure, cause I have nothing to blog about tomorrow. :)
I've seen that photo too. I don't get if it's just suppose to be a funny photoshoped photo or is there a deeper meaning to it since I don't do lord of the rings. :)
I always love coming here, 'cause I know I'm gonna leave with a grin! I'm over Etsy too, have been for a while....the funny thing, is , every time I think about pulling all my stuff out, I sell a painting! So for now, I'm just kind of ignoring Etsy until I can decide what to do. And I love your painting, her eyes, the FEATHERS! and the worry doll are my favorite things here!
Funny interview- we have a lot in common....maybe I'll answer the questions so you can see ;)
Always something fun here! Maybe I'm a hermit because I don't know if I want to be interviewed but I'm thinking about it. Love reading other people's interviews though.
I love your painting. Her eyes are amazing.
Lots of lovely layers and texture.
Love your posts Amy. Today I almost fell over reading the first paragraph and how it related to PPF! LOL
Your girls are wonderful! That "precious" photo is awesome.
I also saw your Once upon a time - I guess I missed it when you first showed it, and what a fun and fabulous idea!
love your paintings and your style is very creative and unique ~ as you are! Thanks for being you ~ ^_^ ~Happy PPF ~ namaste, Carol ^_^ (Share the Creative Journey)
I think these may be my favorite of your paintings so far. Love them! Those little worry dolls attached are the perfect final touch! Oh, and that FB photo is hilarious!
You crack me up , Amy
"if that is your real name" oh yea it's not !
Any who...I love love love your painting this week ..very spectacularre' (yea I made up that word)

Your new portraits are great. Do you give them names? I always wonder that and never think to ask.
I am totally going to answer your interview questions and send you the link.
Love the interview , so revealing ha! Will do mine later as goining out soon for youngests birthday treat.
Your new portrait is so happy. Not that your others don't have happiness in them, but this one radiates serenity and cosmic happiness.
that video is brilliant, would love to have been in it :D XXX
Soo inspired by your interview girl, I'm gonna write one too (and naturalement linky back to you). Great edgy art.
Great interview...very insightful and full of fun! Lovin' the new paintings!POP ART MINIS
Great piece Amy. Love the colors. Have a wonderful weekend.
I could not take my eyes off of that video! Thank you for posting it. The water looked cold though! Brr!
I will do your fabulous interview in my Rocking Friday post :) O do not deny you your hair. I have hair envy over your hair.
Does gank mean what I think it means?
p.s Etsy - I've bought a few things off there and recently registered to have a shop but I just can't seem to get up the enthusiasm to start selling on there. I know I should, I just can't. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to sell through our blogs otherwise I would just do that.
I had fun reading ur post... nice painting, the picture from fb i guess? lol! thx for sharing
hi..new to ppf...love your paintings to bits...loved your interview too...quite funny actually!!!hee hee hee..maybe i'll have to do myself soon too...lol...take care...xxx

Awesome paintings and fun post as usual Amy! I'm too freaking tired to do the linky stuff and have to get up at 3:oo am for work tomorrow, but I'll answer your interview questions in a quick paragragh,K? Here goes nothing: My name is Debbie and I work in electronic assembly and its really fun cuz we get to solder really tiny cool thingies and its almost as fun as painting and the people are really cool. Umm I don't have a clue whats under my couch and I'm too tired to go look, I'm guessing a couple scorpians and alot of dust bunnies. Whats super hot about me is my menopausal hot flashes.(sorry I evaded that one,whew!)I'm a cactus too.I had cereal and coffee for breakfast.If I could choose a name it would be Meekona ( thats the fake name I use on facebook and its a character from my childrens novel )Haven't had plastic surgery, I worked hard at getting these wrinkles and I'm proud of them!Yes I am a hermit sometimes and sometimes not but shy for sure. I blog cuz its fun and nice to write instead of talk out loud and I'm meeting so many artsy fartsy friends!Ta,da!!!!Deb
Love the moodiness of your paintings and as usual, you just made me giggle. Well Done!
Y'know....I love that you post everyday now...
I bleepin' HATE that I'm missing so many posts...
Love that art...the 2nd especially.
Would love to answer the questions, but it's almost midnight and I'm tired :(
I'll try to come here first so I don't miss a thing!
Ok, seriously how did I miss this?? You rock!! We met through PPF and now I am a follower so I will not miss any of your cool posts!! This interview thingy looks fun so i will put it out there on my blog and stop back and share! :)
Oh, and I love your paintings :)
Amy, you always crack me up - whenever I have been visitng your blog I'm in a better mood. Hah! Love your edgy art, especially no.1. Not sure yet if I want to do the interview because you'd make me look under my couch, and I haven't done that for... ehem, years. Yeah, I'm the super-hot Hausfrau...
Love you paintings (gals). What an extraordinary thing to do, love the "Interview" and I would love to know the rest of that story :) I painted with pencils for my first PPF. Glad to be part of the group. I've got to find your 'follow' so I can keep up with you (think that might be a problem!!!! Blessings, Janet

Lickingly yours, LLLLLLLLLLLL

My name is Max. I’m penniless, flawless and flealess. I own two Humans. I would like a pet cat,
2. what is super hot about you? <— don’t you Dare skip this one. answer it.
My hair. In the summer it falls out in clumps so I can be cool.
3. don’t lie or cheat: what is under your couch right now?
I have several couches and chairs and a bed or two. Underneath all of them is dust and clumps of my super hot hair. My Human is not what you’d call “fastidious”.
4. when was the last time you shaved your legs?
I never shave my legs. I chew or lick them.
5. what did you have for breakfast?
Chicken, REAL chicken and lamb (fake lamb – it’s called Science diet- which I don’t get cuz I’m not overweight.) I eat this for breakfast AND dinner every day —- borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring.
6. if you could choose a new name, what would you name yourself?
MaxYES !
7. have you ever had plastic surgery?
I’ve eaten a lot of plastic in my day, but never plastic surgery. Are you sure you don’t mean PLASTIC SUGARY?

I do live life apart from the mundane masses. I would participant in many more social events but I’m not allowed to drive.

Because I have loyal fans who adore me.
The End.
