Good stuff. Neoteric did an interview with Amy last year:

I really enjoy looking at these. There’s just a way they have of being pictures of things doing things, that’s fun. They seem unaffected by all that form & narration heaviness of so much work we look at, and wear whatever difficulty-of-process they may have lightly. She’s not rubbing our noses in however hard (or easy) these these may be to paint.
These seem like high quality children’s book illustrations amped up enough that text (as story, or typography as design element) isn’t necessary. Amped up in terms of event, but also in terms of joy of picture-looking.
Now if someone could just get Zg Gallery to print those catalogs soft-bound. $35 for 20 pages is just to steep for me.
