“With My Sister” – Happy Places Series ©2013 Amy Elyza Kamala

This one isn’t done yet, but still showed in DTLA this past weekend.  I’m making it to print on a journal for my sister. I want to give her a unique and special place to put her amazing writing. Don’t tell her, though. It’s a surprise!

Obviously she isn’t one of the five people following my blog, who – by the way – I’m totally grateful for. Thank you – five!

Here is some new artwork from my Happy Places Series 2013 (in progress) ©2013 amy kamala all rights reserved

I have more in the works. Gonna roll with this series until I run out of inspiration for it.

The past 5-6 years have been really rough on me, and as a result I am finding it a lot more difficult these days to stay in a positive state of mind.  So, like everything in life, I have to work hard to keep myself happy – one method is to focus on things that make me feel good. (No shit, right?) Hence – my Happy Places Series.

I also try to keep a happy journal where I write happy thoughts or try to take my unhappy thoughts and turn them around. It helps, if any of you out there suffer from depression or are just plain unhappy.  Try it.

A lot of my art in the past has dealt with my negative feelings and experiences, that still applies to this but I am taking a different approach. I’m sure I’ll still push out some disturbing cuteness but for now this is what I’ve been working on.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. sorry about the dead sea image – I don’t know why it’s getting those lines across during upload. feh!

I just want to lighten the tone a bit – plus I need to catch my blog up by posting some older artwork. So, I’ll be sharing a few images from my You Are Loved Series. Then, more recent stuff!
