Umm..hi. ^_^;;; I see that you've mentioned you draw...and being an artist myself (ok, I wish), I'd like to know what you like to draw, where you get inspiration, and have you always been into drawing? Or is it painting? Eek..that's more than one question, but I'd like to know, since I love you, and I love art. I think it's great that you're into it. ^_^

I'm pretty sure if amy reads this and reply's she can give you more of an answer but heres something she's quoted as saying during an interview around May '04. :)

I love to paint and I love to sculpt. My favorite thing to draw and paint, for the center of a lot of my art is the human body.

I think it would be *really* cool to maybe one day see some of amy's artwork since we hear alot about it in interviews and stuff, that would be awesome :)

careful now, curiosity is one thing, but dont go mimicking what she does and still call yourself a true artist. i can sculpt anything imaginable out of polymer clay, and have been doing so for about 10 years. im even waiting for the band to respond to "Is This Too Obsessive" so i can make depictions of them how they want to be seen. but thats the point. im an artist without vision, and tend to emulate ideas and suggestions from outside sources, with the exception of one major upcomming project.. whenever this mental image finishes forming. until then, i tend to look up to those that can make real art.
so if you consider yourself an artist now, and you can pull inspiration from your own thoughts and feelings, dont turn your back on that gift away just because Amy happens to prefer something different.

unless if course i misunderstood (which i tend ot do when im tired) and it is purely curiosity. on that point, id be interested to know myself. Amy, if your work isnt too personal, think you could scan in some images for us?

careful now, curiosity is one thing, but dont go mimicking what she does and still call yourself a true artist.
that was my first thought honestly, though i don't meant to discourage whoever posted the original message. People get inspiration from different things in life, and what may inspire you may be completely different to the next person. Though it is nice to see some more people interested in art.

oh well, hope you find you're answer - goodluck.

was that directed toward me or BacardiBreezer?

at any rate, you got me thining and i think i should rephrase:
dont go mimicking Amy's style of paintings just because she's the one who made them. however true artists can certianly draw inspiration from other artists, it happens all the time. i think my previous statement may have sounded like i was discouraging that as well. so if youre intent is to draw some inspiration from her, do it because you like the style, not because your favorite singer happens to be the artist.

it was directed at BacardiBreezer - all i meant was that though im sure it would be interesting to hear about Miss Lee's work, people are inspired in different ways so if the intension was to find a way to be inspired into creating great artworks, its something most people do on their own.

of course, please excuse my comments if i misunderstood BacardiBreezer's initial post.

though i do agree with what you said (The_Muenks), many are inspired by other artists.

sorry for the misunderstanding - kelly

o.O actually, guys, I've been drawing all my life, and painting some. I don't sculpt at all, to be honest, except maybe a few times in high school. I've painted a few good things, but my focus is pencil drawing, and haha, now that I think about it, I haven't even drawn anything since I really got into Evanescence and Amy...so...really there's no reason to think I'm trying to mimic her *shrug* but I understand where you guys get that from. I've always been into drawing and coloring, and it runs in the family, so I figure I want to do that. It's one of those soul-satisfying activities that nothing else seems to accomplish.......sometime, I'll post some of my drawings, which are mostly cars, but some "abstract" objects...and if you saw them, you'd see no Amy Lee inspiration at all in there. This was just a question I wondered, having a love for art myself.

I hope I cleared everything up ^_^

Amy mentions she is interested in art and painting alot, I know she did creative stuff at school and still does, but we never get to see any of her art work :(
The journal on the website is an awesome idea and I really hope they will do more with it soon because its my favorite section on there- If amy wanted to share, I would love to see her poetry and art...anything! :)

I've seen the journal-its one of my faves aswell and theres a really cool drawing of amys on there too. I personally love to draw gothy fantasy art like angels and fairies and stuff, so I'd also be interested to know what sort of art amy's into :)

^_^ let's just hope she finds the time to answer...

This was just a question I wondered, having a love for art myself.

I hope I cleared everything up ^_^

awesome, it's good to hear from people who love art - im a fan myself...it's so relaxing and it's a real outlet for stress etc.

anyway, i hope Miss Lee replies and i hope i didnt confuse or offend you with my post or anything - kelly.

Well I for one am very interested in what Amy paints and draws.

I hope she posts something...

I recently heard from a friend that amy's fave artist is Dali (dunno for sure if it's true though) and apperentley she says she likes his work because you can look at it once, come up with one meaning, then look at it again and see a totally different meaning. Anyways if it is true then I've seen some of his work and its very cool. I've never seen anything like it before, it's all like a big dreamworld. :)

Nah, you didn't offend ^_^

I've got a feeling Amy's style is completely different than mine, if you guys think she does goth stuff. But that's cool - and diversity is always a good thing. Wouldn't be interesting if we all did the same thing...and I'd wonder about people >.>

LOL..

i have trouble understanding paintings, just as i do poetery. but his work is among the few paintings i can actualy get something out of, expicialy the most famous one with the mealting clocks. i have an affinity toward understanding timed and reams that plays into an interest there.


FallenAngel_AL quoted her as saying she loves to sculpt? oh crap, this means my offer to make a figure for her might be moot if she knows how to make it herself.
come on, it takes me months to find inspiration for a new project.

I've got a feeling Amy's style is completely different than mine, if you guys think she does goth stuff.

hehe, watch her her pull a 180 on us an scan in pictures of kids on skates and rainbows.
...just a thought.

LOL, that'd be great if she did. Gotta have a sense of "style" XD

Here's an example of what I'd typically do *attaches*

Oo0 i like the one on the left. does it have a specific meaning, or just meant to look cool?

Oo0 i like the one on the left. does it have a specific meaning, or just meant to look cool?

Haha, thank you! ^_^ This is going to sound really lame to some of you, but it's actually from a video game called Chrono Cross. It's called the Dragon Tear, and it lets the owner trade bodies with someone else. I thought it looked really cool so I drew it. I could have done better on the ball shading though >< Here's something else I drew from that game *attaches Frozen Flame*

i like to draw people to.amy have you heard of frank frazetta hes an artist frazetta rocks!!

hang on, im just charging my digital camera...

...and watching sealab!!!!!!

...and watching sealab!!!!!!

wow i really am blonde...i've never heard of that

it's a show on cartoon network... it is on now..

it's a show on cartoon network... it is on now..

cheers, an education is all i ask for, and my apologies for straying from the topic

...and watching sealab!!!!!!

If you did nothing else in life I could appreciate you for that alone...
Sparks is my role model

wait, how do i attatch a picture? I suck at computers. its already in my hp photo gallery...

when you are creating a post, scroll down to Additional Options, and hit Manage Attachments......then you just add what you want - i think :confused:

when you're posting...go to manage attachments.

Hit reply and it's the little box with a mountain in it, under the drop down "color" menu :)

lol and we all run to the aid of Miss Lee, tis kind of sweet in a creepy way.

hmmm yeah i'm still shocked i can add a picture without the aid of sticky tape and an 'Idiots' guide

this post explains it well
http://evboard.com/showpost.php?p=406813&postcount=28

nope it didnt work ok heres what to do (im not used to giving instructions so bare with me!)

1) click post reply to start a new post with the attachments or just click edit on one of your previous posts.

2) it will bring you to the page where you type your message. if you scroll down the page a little, you will see a button saying "manage attachments". click that button

3) a little box should pop up with 3 options. "browse", "upload" and "close this window". if you click the browse button, browse to where you saved your pictures that you want to post, and open it (double click it) the little box by the side of the browse button should now have some writing in.

4) click upload and wait. something should show up underneath saying "current attachments" along with the name of the picture you have attached (written in white font).

your picture should now be attached! if you want to put more then one picture repeat 4). tell me if it works and btw your attachment can only be a certain size so if the pictures are too big to be attached (it will tell you if something you have tried to attach is too big) let me know, and ill see what i can do

am i too late?

it says the file is too big to attatch. it says i can only use 100 kb at a time and im using a whole mb. im sorry!

Amy, if you have the pictures uploaded somewhere, you can just post them regularly without having to attach them. Open up the pictures and get their URL addresses. Copy the URL addresses into the reply box and highlight each one separately. Then click on the mountain graphic that is underneath the size and color drop down menus in the reply for each URL addresss. That should allow you to post the images. Hope that helped. :)

it says the file is too big to attatch. it says i can only use 100 kb at a time and im using a whole mb. im sorry!

oh well...perhaps you can email them to one of the Mods or something and they can put it up or perhaps photobucket could be a viable option for the future that way all you have to do is throw a link up

it worked -

and excuse the langauge, but shit...that's awesome Miss Lee. *glares back at canvas behind her with disappointment* very surreal.

Did that work?

Looks like it worked... Cool stuff :)

Did that work?
Yes it did. That is awesome! The colors are amazing.

that is so pretty, how long did it take you?

Did that work?

That it did....and it looks very cool BTW

Wow Amy, you did that? That's awesome. :) Wish I could do that well! :)

my apologies if you already mentioned it, but tell me does this painting have a name?

cool. I just finished that one last week. I cant get a good photo of the other one I was going to show you guys because its too dark in my house at night. I'll do it sometime, I promise. Once I can figure out how to make it stick onto the post like all the crafty message board people... Shaun always helps me with this computer stuff and he's touring in Europe right now. I hate technology! see you guys later!

Did that work?

Holy Shit! Not bad!

When might I bet for that through eBay? :p j/k

You should come to LR for the EVfan party/convention/masonic meeting/whatever to be held by end of July and organize an expo honey... seriously... ;)

Maybe the mods can give you a bit more uploading power or something like that *shrug* the pic was pretty cool and I look forward to seeing more of your art in the future...

OMFG! Amy that's AMAZING!!
Wow...it's really cool! your drawings rock \m/

Can't wait for the next one! :D

I look forward to seeing more of it in the future...
As do I...There's been talk of a release of an artbook, but there hasn't been much news about its status or even validity.

That's definitely a beautiful painting. From that, I'm wondering if perhaps she was the creater of the design on one of the tour t-shirts...

http://stores.musictoday.com/store/bands/585/product_medium/E2CT11.jpg

Im really excited amy replied to this thread because I really really wanted to see some work from her! lol! :D

Thats awesome amy, thanks alot for uploading/sharing <3 - I love the colors you used to paint with - is there a specific meaning behind the picture?. I am totally excited for the second one, when you get round to posting, and if you designed for the next album or future Ev. work that would be interesting :)

Thats a really awesome painting! Good choice of colors, too! :)

I've attempted to paint my bedroom door a month ago. It looks like a five year old took the paint and splattered it all over my room...its really sad.

I like this painting very much! The colours are very powerful. :)
Thanks for sharing it.

And yeah, the tree has some resemblances. Who knows...

I have to agree that that painting was great! I totally loved the colors :) The ones you used reminded me a little of Matisse.

As Laz & WhisperedVoices mentioned, you should probably look into getting photobucket, it's really easy to use.

Here's the link:

Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/)

Photobucket = best. site. ever. \m/ All mah junk is on there.

Dude...wow...Amy, that's amazing. It really is; I love it!

Hehe, not a techie, I see. That's cool lol there are a bunch of people on here (as you saw) who can help you out.

Who helps you on tour when you need to do something? Or do you just avoid it altogether? lol.

Dude, there's something that Amy isn't good at?! OMFG *spazzout* :eek:

;)

.......Did that work?


wow! that's amazing!! :D i really love it! thanks for posting!

I suck at drawing, that's why i just make stuff on the computer! ;)

Wow! Amy, is that acrylics or gouache? Oils!?! I'm guessing not oils cause it's not too reflective/shiny.

I think the tree is very well done and the color scheme is very absorbing. Over all the composition is the best part.


Please post more work...hell start a Your Stuff thread!!!

God I'm slow.. I realized Amy's new posts just now! :eek:
We finally got to see Amy's work. That is amazing!!
How can someone have so much talent?? A great singer, songwriter, painter and what else!??!?!
I'm just amazed. :)

Can't wait to see more!

i wonder how long it will take till that excellent painting will be an avatar somewhere on this board... *gig*
thanks for sharing it with us Amy

maybe it's someones avatar already. :D
what a beautiful avatar would it be. ;)

Wow, that painting, is gorgeous.

Did you have any particular inspiration for that? [By this I mean, a certain artist...]

ps: When you first got into painting and stuff...what paints did you start out with? Tempera? any tips? :|

edit: yes another question...this actually came up in a conversation with a friend of mine from this board. Were you inspired by a song you wrote for this? or did you paint this and write a song about it? Crazy thought...i know. haha

A great singer, songwriter, painter and what else!??!?!Amy Lee, Professional horseback rider:p :
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/sweet_little_lie/003.bmp

That picture is like a visual of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" to me...I dunno why but it is.

But yeah it's awesome...for serious yo

So Amy's good at everything except computers. Okay, well no one's perfect ;) (lol j/k Amy)

Seriously, that painting is amazing. I love it. :)

Seems she gets darn close to it though. :rolleyes:

Damn, I can't believe this. Thank you so much, Amy, for taking the time to read my post and show me your painting! You're very talented! This just proves you kick ass at everything ^_^ Hope to see more later!

...and, Sealab's ok, but Aqua Teen is sooo much better!

okay, that's it!
i'm going to put THAT (the one in gilwellian's post. not amy's) piece of art back in my av
:p

cool, thats is pretty interesting...thanks for sharing!
look forward to seeing the other painting :)

Y'know, I was thinking about how Amy said that the pic of the other one didn't look so good because of the darkness of the house (well gee, Ames, if it's 3 AM...well, midnight, your time...;) lol)...I'm sure that one of us could fix that in Photoshop.

Not necessarily voting myself here, because I'm usually sleeping when Amy's online lol, but too-bright or too-dark pictures can easily be fixed.

Back to topic. lol. I think that Amy needs her own artwork thread if she's going to let us see her stuff :) Which, btw, is amazing and awfully nice of her to do.

Thanks, Amy :)

Ay...
I usually draw (well, not usually, but when I need that escape that the concentrating in drawing provides I just sink into it and I don't stop until it's done...) but I couldn't paint anything abstract if my life depended on it! I just don't know how to portrait feelings thru colour and shape. So, I'm no speciallist, but Amy's or not, that painting is really beautiful!

I'm with Katya on this: she should have her own art thread on the board! Heck... in the way things are going, I think it would be cool to have an art-section (like a gallery, or a "book" of poems) within the board instead of scattered threads in the your stuff area, etc. A gathering of the Evboard artists... :)

...girlfriend!!! He's the lucky boy -->

Damnit, I can't think of anyone! Grr! Damn you for asking a rhetorical question! :p ;)

you don't have the skills :p

thanks Jerry

anyway
i had a book full of art
but then i moved away and it got lost *smiff*
it wasn't as good as most of you already posted though
or Orgo's work (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=11674)... that's definitly one of the best i've seen around here

Wow, that painting is awesome. I wish I could paint half as good as you.

WOW. Thats awesome, Amy :)

I like drawing... Even though I suck. But more drawing people and expressions, and sometimes something abstract. Not painting because I can't do it. :rolleyes: Ahh, I need some hobbies that I'm good at.

Wow. That painting's gorgeous.

I would so trade being good at math for being able to paint. I have no artistic ability whatsoever.

Heh. I, for one, am asleep at 1 AM. 10 PM Amy's time. Because I have to get up for school in four and a half hours. And I'm DEFINITELY not on 3 hours later. lol.

So I ALWAYS miss the Amy-is-online times. Because Amy doesn't need a lot of sleep and I do ;) (j/k lol)

I was up chatting w/ people until like 4...*had to be up at 6* and then i thought "sleep is overrated"--I ran on empty in class today..haha it was "great"--so yeah she comes online "late"--but I don't sleep so I am always like "oh ok"

i completely forgot about the whole timezone thing. because when she posted i was like "no way i was on at that time". but really, i was at school. silly me. stupid time zones....!!!

Amy would you ever be interested in selling your artwork? you are truly gifted. wow. i love the colours. ack. so beautiful!!!!! you are talented in many ways. you are so lucky!!!

(it's easier if you make a www.photobucket.com account *it's free!* then just put your paintin there and copy/paste the [img] link. that's the only way i know how to do it. lol)

your painting looks awesome amy! I love the blending technique!

LOL yeah the timezone thing can suck.

That'd be really awesome, but I think you'd get some people who would buy it just because it's Amy and not because it's beautiful artwork. So they wouldn't appreciate the art for what it was.

Photobucket is mah best friend :D I put all my stuff on there. However, a word of caution to Amy: Images can only be 250 KB lol otherwise it'll make it really small and retarded. I imagine you have some kind of resizing program that you can shrink the images in, judging from your other one.

And another thing...save as a .jpg. It's a LOT smaller filesize than a .bmp. And .gifs suck when it comes to photos lol.

Wow Amy thats awesome you are talented in all ways!!! :-D

Amy your art is very spiffy. I don't think I could do something like that unless I actually decided to put my mind to it..and thats hard for me because quite frankly..I'm lazy. Damn the lazyness..Anyways, can't wait to see your other art work.

p.s Timezones confuse me..

Wow, that's awesome, mkay.

P.S. Computers/technology isn't really a talent.
Not everyone can dismantle a computer and put it back together. Not everyone can create an entire website from Flash effortlessly. Not everyone can create works of art using Photoshop alone *cough*orgo*cough*. Not everyone can write a program for something that they want done.

I could go on, but I won't. I consider it a talent. There are several areas of talent. But to be successful in the computer industry takes brains and ability.

And, just for clarification, I was definitely being facetious in my above post.

cool. I just finished that one last week. I cant get a good photo of the other one I was going to show you guys because its too dark in my house at night. I'll do it sometime, I promise. Once I can figure out how to make it stick onto the post like all the crafty message board people... Shaun always helps me with this computer stuff and he's touring in Europe right now. I hate technology! see you guys later!

Can't wait to see some more of your work Amy, thanks alot for sharing, it's really nice of you.

I love your painting. It reminds me some of Georgia O' Keefe works.

.......Did that work?

WOW! That's all I can say about that. It is just breath taking. :D

That is beautiful Amy, you are so talented! Thanks so much for sharing it with us, I can't wait to see more!

Psssssssshhhhhhhh... I want to share a secret with you... EARTH IS NOT FLAT!!! :eek: *Copernicus told me that Earth is a planet orbiting the Sun, seriously*

Wow. I feel so smart now lol. I totally forgot about timezones. :eek:

Wow, great to see you on the board amy.

I really like that painting, some how i'm not surprised that the artist responsible for it has also done some of my favorite music ;)

It cool how the branches have some life in them in the blue sky but look like blackened bone in the light. It's a great play of contrasts, and I love how the sunbeam bends almost into a blade as it crosses the branch. Definitely some powerful symbolism can be drawn from this. Very, very cool. :cool:

Ay...
I usually draw (well, not usually, but when I need that escape that the concentrating in drawing provides I just sink into it and I don't stop until it's done...) but I couldn't paint anything abstract if my life depended on it! I just don't know how to portrait feelings thru colour and shape. So, I'm no speciallist, but Amy's or not, that painting is really beautiful!

I'm with Katya on this: she should have her own art thread on the board! Heck... in the way things are going, I think it would be cool to have an art-section (like a gallery, or a "book" of poems) within the board instead of scattered threads in the your stuff area, etc. A gathering of the Evboard artists... :)

Oh yeah, definitely we should have an art thread. I'd be all over that ^__^

Thanks for coming by and showing us your artwork Amy, It is amazing.

Amy Your Art Rocks!!! I Heard You Like To Draw People? I Love To Draw.. i Cant Draw Hands For @#$% HA!!! HA! and yes i'm A Real Gypsy.... lol!

Amy Your Art Rocks!!! I love it.. You Like To Draw people? ILove To Draw.. I Cant Draw Hands For Sh!+ HA!! The Wicked!!! Amy!!! Lee!!! Rocks!!!!!!

Hmm... a double fangasm.... that's unheard of. ;)

...and watching sealab!!!!!! Hmm...Sealab's cool, but Family Guy and Inuyasha rule all!!!!!!!!

Wow! Very cool - reminds me of Dali, with the sky that seems to go on forever... it has a real sense of depth! I especially like the orange/red drips, and the way the tree seems so alive.

It's awesome to be able to see some of Amy's art - you can really see a connection to her music.

I'd be interested to know what media she used. Personally, I love working with oil paints.

Can't believe no one has approached this yet...

~You need to resize your picture. Open a photo editing program and shrink the image a bit. Also, saving as a .jpg, rather than a .bmp, will also cut the filesize considerably.

beautiful amy... truly art! :D

like everyone else in this thread, i agree, beautiful piece of art!
i love the colors u used....it's something i could stare at for hours and get lost in. Thanx a lot for taking the time and sharing that with us Amy! :D

Miss Lee- What are the chances that you would consider incorporating that painting and others into new liner notes or song books? The painting is incredible and I'm glad you chose to share them with the board. Most impressive.

It's very pretty! Did it take many time? I have no time at all for my hobbies right now... They are asking for quite a lot of work at school these days... Anyway, we always get some weeks with lots of work sometimes... I have time to cook, though! I decided to learn to do so after I saw I couldn't live from spaguetti for the rest of my life... But there has been no guitar at all for this last weeks... mmm, too bad for me! Anyway it looks pretty good, I like it at least!

I like that drawing Amy.
And I'm not just kissing up. :rolleyes:
I look forward to seeing your next drawing.

Hmm...Sealab's cool, but Family Guy and Inuyasha rule all!!!!!!!!Damn straight. (also Saiyuki);)

OMG did you look at your reputation point!? 666.00!!!

i just saw that painting cuz i haven't been around much and i'm like O_O. it looks amazing. it would be great to see more of your work because that pic is fantastic!

Not that Amy will reply again, seeing as all the comments are basically the same, but the art is nice. o.o;

Lovely composition, but in honesty I prefer the sketches of the faces on evanescence.com

Still, a very talented lady!

Very immpresive, sorry I can't spell. That is wonderful, Good Job Amy.

Lovley drawing, will you post any other?

Sorry to bring back an old thread. I only just found this thread and Gilwellian has already edited Ms. Lee's post and I was wondering if anyone had saved a copy of the picture of the painting to their computer or something and could possibly pm it to me or something because I'd really like to see the painting.pwetty please? :(

The picture is still there in amys post - its in an attatchment.

I went back to her post several times and tried refreshing but for some reason my computer wont show up the attatchments. It displays the attatchment box but there's no picture or link in it. I think it's just my computer. Any chance of someone reposting it or sending it in a pm?

hmm, I cant understand why it isnt showing up for you?! Okay, I took it from her post and put it in my photobucket. amy's painting! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/FallenAngelAL/screen-small.jpg) (posted instead of PM incase anyone else is having problems viewing attatchments etc. ;) )

Thank you, thank you thank you thank you! If I wasn't completely crazy I'd say that looks like something that Salvador Dali (sp?) painted. I wonder if it has a name.

.......Did that work?


wow.. it's gorjous.
honestly

Wow thats really good artwork!

Yes I agree! It is beautiful artwork!!

i like the pencil effects....CUTIE COOTIES BELONG TO BABY BOOTIES

.......Did that work?

It has a little bit of surrealism and expressionism, the colours are very similar tu Munch ( El grito) if i see the sun it reminds me a lot to this Munch painting...... I love strong and bright colours, Well done Mrs Amy .
Kiss

Amy,

That painting is absolutely gorgeous! What can't you do?! ;) If I could do something that was even half that good, I'd be happy. Muchos gracias for letting us see your beautiful art.

-Nicole

Amy, can you show for us some your new or old arts
And maybe someone know where i can see it?:D

She has shown us her painting. Just be patient. Grr....:(

It's beautiful though!

OK I know it's been said about a hundred times but that painting was amazing.If you ever decide to reply again after blessing us with one more peice of evidence of your tallent I have a few questions for you amy.
Dose writing lyrics make it easier or harder to express emotion in your artwork?
Has being in a band thats so sucessful taken all your free time and distracted you from your artwork?
Had you ever thought of becoming a profesional artist if you hadn't started the band?

I love your painting Amy! I'm really hoping that you will have the time to post another one some time, that would be so awesome. I don't know if anyone asked this question, but have you taken a lot of art classes or did you just start painting? I know you're quite busy so even if you are not able to answer all the questions that were asked it would be so nice just to see another painting. Thank you!

Even though Amy, doesn't come on Evboard anymore......

I have always been a HUGE fan of her paintings, and drawings!!
she does incredable work, and it all comes from within, all what she is
feeling, and parts of her life.
She has amazing mechanisms to deal with what she is feeling, as well
when she is going through a tough time.
Amy sure does know alot when it comes to all of that, and sure has
grown so much inner strength!

i cant speak for amy, of course. but she is an artist at heart and she's only really happy when she can create things. whether they be songs, drawings, etc. in fact her old apartment (not sure about new home) was filled with her artwork and she does various types. hope that helped a little? btw, i'm new here and this is my first post. so, hi!!!

I love this one girl with zero symbol <3
