Bees by Amy Crook
Hexagons the beautiful amber of good honey and brush-painted bees make a gorgeous composition in this ink art.
Bees are awesome, and these beauties are a delightfully illustrative example of their type. This richly colored art would add a wonderful warmth to any room.

Goldfish 2 by Amy Crook
I posted this goldfish as a work in progress on Instagram, and through the magic of the internets I turned him into plot bunnies! He’s heading out tomorrow to his new home, and in return I have a whole rainbow of rabbits to keep me company during NaNoWriMo.
