If they ever sold copies of Amy's art (reasonably priced, please!), I would buy them ALL!

Amy talked about her paintings in this Black Velvet Interview (taken in November 2012, probably). She is actually glad that she do not have to share them with the rest of the world: "I love painting and I just said last night, 'I can't wait to get home and paint some more'. I like it because I feel no pressure whatsoever. I like to have a side project always going on when I'm working, especially when I was making the record for example, there was always paintings going on on the side because I'll get stuck in one aspect and really, really feel like I need to get stuff out, I need to keep moving and I need to keep creating, so I'll move over to some completely different thing like a painting or cooking something or whatever just to stay moving even though I'm stuck on the music. I have a lot of partially finished paintings I need to get back to at home. They take me a long time. But it's a nice thing, because I feel like there's no expectation for it to be anything, it's just for me. If I ever want to do anything with them and share them some day then I can but I don't have to and nobody expects me to so it's like I still have a completely free place." She shows us a picture on her phone of a painting that she's been working on and explains, "They're definitely more whimsical and even child-like and cartoony than my music. It's a different side of me a little bit." The painting we see features many octopuses in water. "I've been working on this one for I guess about, jeez, five years, and I'm close to being finished with it. It's really big. Each one of those little guys [points to an octopus] takes probably half an hour, maybe 45 minutes and there's like... I don't know... 300 of them," she laughs, "so I just go in and do a couple of octopus, then I'm like, 'OK, my hand's tired,' and go and do something else. It's been fun to get at it once in a while. Almost there. I think I'm about 40 hours away."

I've been thinking about having the Together Again artwork printed out onto a canvas so I can have it up in my lounge room, but I'm really unsure as to whether I'd be allowed. She isn't selling her artwork, and this was already used for a single cover, but if she one day decides to then I've essentially pirated a painting.

I totally get what you're saying, redeye; like I adore everything but there are plenty of elements that I think could have been better. But I'm like genuinely jealous of the painting for Together Again, that's the one perfect piece IMO.

I LOVE the Octopi painting. Wish I could see the whole thing. I'd love for that to be a single cover someday!

I LOVE the Octopi painting. Wish I could see the whole thing. I'd love for that to be a single cover someday! Amy's still painting the octopi painting. lol. But I do agree! I would love to see it in its entirety and it would make a good single cover, though it would have to fit the song. More Amy Octopi Art: Amy's fingerpaint art on a Piano: Piano Lid: The piano stool: I found all these on EvanescenceWebsite.com Oh. And how could we have forgotten about this: And Baby Charlie from Adventure Time: And this:

Amy painted the album cover of Ev3?
YES! More Octopi art! I love the octopus that's looking head-on. SO ADORABLE!

I didn't think Amy had done the cover of the Ev3 album herself. I'm pretty sure in an interview somewhere she said they had hired a graphic designer to do it and she just described to him what she wanted.

Amy painted the album cover of Ev3? No, she had an idea, presented it and somewhat designed it. As Lycrymosa has said, she helped the graphic designer when the designer was making it.
