Baby Squid

Baby Squid, cartoon art by Amy Crook, $77

Sometimes, I have to make art just so I can put it on a card in my Etsy shop, and this is one of those times. I’m trying to expand my offerings over there to something that isn’t quite so holiday-dependent. Thus we have a gender-free, geek-positive baby cards. I actually made two versions of this one: one is blank with just the image, and the other says, “Congratulations, it’s a…” on the front, and on the inside finishes with “Well, Congratulations, anyway.” Yes, I can even be sarcastic in the face of those giant soulful eyes.

I did have fun trying to make the cutest widdle squiddy you ever did see, though. The original would be awesome in a baby’s room somewhere, trying to out-cute the offspring.

Baby Squid, framed art by Amy Crook

Above I have him put into a frame so you can imagine how it would look, though this piece doesn’t ship framed unless you ask me to (and pay a little more). Below, you can see what he looks like on the snarky version of the card.
