Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 2

Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

Here, there be dragons! Well, dragon. Well, Smaug.

After I sold the first Bilbo & Smaug bookmark, I drew up a second one for someone else who’d asked after it. I went a little more elaborate on this one, intending to use it for promo bookmarks, just like yesterday’s Spock. It’s still sketchy and whimsical, but with more elaborate coloring and a bit of gold to go with the big purple dragon.

If you’d like a bookmark of your own, there’s still a few left from prior Bookmark Weeks!

Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 2, 7″x2.5″ pen & ink and Copic marker, nfs (sold).

Licensing: Ear to the Wall

Ear to the Wall by Carrie Causey,
cover & interior illustrations by Amy Crook

It was over 2 years ago that I posted my Victorian Wallpaper design, with all its scribbly whimsy. Recently Google brought the post to Jason from Ampersand Books, and he wrote to me asking to use the art for the cover & interior of one of their little poetry chapbooks. They went with a gorgeously intense (and hard to photograph!) red and blue for the cover, with faded greys inside and pure black and white in the inside covers.

I haven’t had time to read any of the poetry yet, but the book itself is very cool looking, in my totally biased opinion. Sherlock seems to find the titles intriguing, anyway!

Ear to the Wall, detail of cover art

Above you can see the rich color and linen texture of the printed cover art, with my tiny skulls still just visible in the design. You can get your own copy of Ear to the Wall by Carrie Causey here at Ampersand Books.

If you find yourself interested in licensing any of my work for commercial use, feel free to contact me here.

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

And so we come to the end, when John and Sherlock have both survived their terrible colds and, in John’s case, some rather terrible caretaking. I think the expression on John’s face here really says it all, don’t you?

If you enjoyed this comic, consider getting a print at my Etsy shop to have your very own copy to admire and giggle over.

The Death of Me, Too, 5 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Lestrade’s stopped in to see how things are going at 221b, and he’s a bit concerned for John’s chances of survival. John is, too, but Sherlock’s perfectly confident and doesn’t appreciate all this doubt. He’s even pulled out his Manual of Exotic Diseases vol. III to check up on John’s symptoms, not to mention sharing his hedgehog.

The Death of Me, Too, 4 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

And of course, it being Sherlock, he might be taking this caring thing a little too far. He’s brought oranges, biscuits, more tissues, another blanket, another pillow, a sandwich, and of course some chicken soup. He’s sure he read somewhere that it’s better to feed sick boys their soup so they eat it all, but John’s just not cooperating.

The Death of Me, Too, 3 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Smug Sherlock is smug. John’s got everything an invalid could want, from toast to his otter plushie. He’s sure to be well in no time!

The Death of Me, Too, 2 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

John might be sick, but he’s clever enough to know what will get Sherlock to reciprocate at least a little care, even if it’s just a cup of tea. If there’s one thing Sherlock can’t stand, after all, it’s being told he can’t figure something out.
