Portfolio About Shop

I’m Amy, an illustrator based in Plymouth, UK. My work consists of colourful, textural explorations of the feeling of otherness, nagivating the world as an autistic adult and authentic expressions of joy.

I love shrimp. I keep a tropical shrimp tank which inspires my practice and storytelling. One of my favourite things to do is to infodump about the weird and wonderful creatures we share our planet with.

My practice spans into analogue and digital illustration, comic art, animation and textiles-based sculptures.

Let’s have a chat! I’d love to work together. hello.amybugs@gmail.com
