Red Pumpkin
Posted on November 2nd, 2016
Red Pumpkin, 6″x4″ ink wash on Fluid watercolor paper
To start we have an ode to the season — this bright red pumpkin is softened by the splotches of green-gold-brown that echo the decorations nature puts on certain kinds of squash.
The color is festive enough to stay out from Halloween through Christmas and beyond, a bit of fall foliage that will warm you throughout the year.
There is even a tiny hint of shimmer and shine in the depths of the golden areas, which is offset beautifully by the deep black of the background.

Above, you can see the shimmer hiding in the blemish and the beautiful texture of ink on paper. Below, this little pumpkin looks great in its frame, just waiting to find the perfect niche in your home to occupy.

Inktober 2016, Week 4

Inktober is complete! I caught a mild cold or allergy attack or something, but I managed to power through thanks to some huge mugs of strong tea and a couple of hot toddies. Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a bookmark sale for my email list next month, some of them will show up in the Floating Gallery tomorrow, and some of them are already spoken for.

London Fog
Posted on October 28th, 2016
London Fog, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper,
James Bond parody art by Amy Crook
A London Fog is an Earl Grey tea latte with a bit of vanilla syrup, creamy and sweet and fragrant and oh so good on an autumn day. Q’s assistant brought him this one, and he’s got a matching tea-patterned sweater to go with it, because tea is love.
You can get this silly ode to tea as a card in my Etsy shop, or support me on Patreon and request art like this for your very own!

Brave Heart
Posted on October 20th, 2016
Brave Heart, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic Marker on paper, parody Doctor Who art by Amy Crook
This is the first in a series of all 13 Doctors I’ll be doing for a Patreon patron! The Fifth Doctor is his favorite, and so I had to go all out with the celery and stripey trousers. So stripey.
You can get this cheerful portrait on a card in my Etsy shop, since the original is on its way to Australia!

Double-Oh Mistletoe
Posted on October 14th, 2016
Double-Oh Mistletoe, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper,
parody James Bond art by Amy Crook
The holidays are coming whether we’re ready or not! This adorable bit of Inktober art doubles as a Christmas card for the chosen few. James Bond is cuddling his Quartermaster under the mistletoe, both of them dressed for the holidays. Q is even sporting a cheerful red bow in his messy mop of hair!
