If Wishes Were Fishes

If Wishes Were Fishes by Amy Crook

This doodle springs from a conflation of two sayings my Mom used to use, “If wishes were fishes, we’d live in the sea,” and “If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.” Somehow my brain mixed the two up, and we have this doodle — “If wishes were fishes, then beggars would ride.” I went Seussian with the fish, giving the whole thing a cheerful, if surrealistic, feel.

Want a little art in your life?

I want to help you out with that. All of my original art comes with free shipping, so don't sweat the small stuff. Just look and see what calls to you, what you think you might want to live with -- even if it doesn't match the couch.

Curious about something I haven't covered here? Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.
