Amy Winehouse and her boozy beehive
I want to profess my fondness for that kooky bird Amy Winehouse. I love her music, her voice, her funky beehive hairdo, and her screw it attitude. I eagerly read every gossip story about her. A lot of her stories, unfortunately, are about her canceling performances. I personally would be pissed off if I had paid to see her and then find out she was boozing it up instead of putting on a show. That's what happened this past wednesday. She was set to perform in Liverpool but backed out due to "exhaustion." Surprisingly though her condition didn't stop her from an evening of drinking in London instead. Bad, bad, boozy beehived bird.
Maybe if she brought the bar's essentials with her, then she could go ahead and keep her scheduled performances. There's plenty of room to store stuff up in that beehive. Just a thought.
This is painted using acrylics and a bit of colored pen on a 14" x 11' piece of paper.
I love Amy to death but this is hilarious! Love the details of the missing gap in her mouth and the ashtray on top of her head the most. Keep up the good work!

You can't even hate on Amy. I'm so gay for her that I have been cutting her pictures out of magazines and...yes...taping them to the walls in my bedroom like a 14 year old school girl. I carry her album like it's my purse. At this point, I am pretty sure the Back to Black album is my new boyfriend.
It sucks that she pulls out of shows. I mean, that pretty much answers my questions of, should I fly to LA to see her concert? But Amy is that kind of musician that makes millions of dollars and still manages to die pennyless in her 50's in some crappy basement apartment. And...that's what makes her so, so frickin' great!!!
I guess I'd perfer to see her still living a life that makes sense to her and her music rather than moving to hollywood, becoming friends with Paris Hilton, and releasing a pop album about how she has pretty clothes and a big Malibu house...
I love Amy and I love you...please draw more pretty Amys...

I really love the 2nd pic and think it should be grayscale on a very pale blue t...
i think it would sell really well...
