Not sure how to import an image, but Janis posted a photo of her and Dionne looking through Blake's book, on her twitter. She looks like a proud mum.

I was at the book launch the other night. It was very bittersweet to see Kelly, Blake and Dionne all embracing and enjoying each others company. Janis arrived later in the evening - the room almost fell silent as everyone realised but people quickly made space for her, giving her a tour of the pictures and getting her a chair at the front to see Dionne perform. It was a really lovely evening.

Well seems like you all have LOTS of opinions. I published this book of work I made with my best friend, who I care deeply about. I wanted to share my story and artwork which reflects who she was to me at her core and not what the media/public portray her as. It's time to move past the question of WHY DIDN'T ANYONE HELP? I did. Everyone did. We all did. We must focus on her strengths and gifts she shared with us, celebrate them and leave out the rest for once and for all. She was incredible and I am very grateful to have had her in my life and to now be putting my work out with her for you all to enjoy. 

 

This book was made purely with love so please leave the negativity out, theres enough of it in the world!

A bit irrelevant, but ain't it wonderful that even friends of Amy have an account to this forum?!?!?! 😀😀😀😀😀

Seems I remember Mr. Wood posting on this forum a few years ago asking for pics of Amy and promising to share his with the forum. I don't remember ever seeing him post any of his pics but it looks like they are available now though - for a price.

Artists shouldn’t work for free. Our work is of value I hope others pay you for your work too
