Holly Jackson & Cottage Copy
Sunday, August 29th, 2010
Holly Jackson by Amy Crook
Since it’s Sunday, I’ll repost another older cartoon that never made it up here on Antemortem — Holly Jackson and Sir Didymus of Cottage Copy! Holly wanted to show her mighty pen and scroll, and of course the Cottage Copy canine needed to put in his appearance.
He made a second appearance, along with another version of Holly, on the painting I did that eventually became the header for the Cottage Copy website:

Vampire Watermelon

Vampire Watermelon by Amy Crook
I asked Twitter what they wanted me to doodle this weekend, and one of the few replies I got was from @etherjammer, who suggested vampire pumpkins & watermelon. Somehow even though the pumpkins sounded adorable and fun, I ended up wanting to do a watermelon instead, turning the stripes into creeping veins and giving it a rather pointed smile.

Mystic Cave
Friday, August 6th, 2010
Mystic Cave by Amy Crook - click for larger view
This painting contains the four elements in harmony, the sky above and earth below, water stretching out from the rocky shore and the glow of a fire coming from the cave. I originally started it for the cover of a book, but we ended up going a different direction. Still, it’s one of my favorite small paintings, simple and peaceful with a small hint of a hidden secret.
The edges of the canvas aren’t finished, but the painting can be hung as is, or slipped into a frame.
Mystic Cave, 9″x12″ oil painting on canvas, $399 with free shipping. $40 of your money will go to charity.

Ink Roses

Ink Rose 2 by Amy Crook
I drew these a while back as a set of clip art for a project that never got off the ground. I always did enjoy adding little illustrative touches to my designs, and of course I swear I covered half my notes in high school with drawings of roses. One of the dangers of being a young Goth, I suppose.
I really do like the brush pen work here, full of quivery, half-there lines that give a real sense of texture and delicacy to the flowers, leaves, and stems. Something good to remember next time I’m inking!

Sugarbutt the Fairy

Sugarbutt the Fairy by Amy Crook
One of my shameful addictions is the Facebook game Fairyland. When I first started playing I named my Fairy “Sugarbutt” and after a few months I decided to draw up a portrait of him, complete with rosy cheeks and flower cap. I guess he lost his leafy clothing right before the portrait, oops?

13 Pink Roses
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
13 Pink Roses by Amy Crook
The 13th rose is barely on the canvas, sneaking my lucky number onto this rosebush. Branches lean out over a white fence, and bees buzz lazily around the flowers. The bright blue summer sky has a pale summer sun shining down, and the whole image is painted in oils on a small four-by-five-inch canvas board.
The edges of this canvas board are finished, the image wrapping around to the sides to add a some extra dimension. The easel is included, so this painting can be displayed as is on a bookshelf, desk, windowsill, or anywhere you want a little lazy summer sunshine.
13 Pink Roses, 4″x5″ oil painting on canvas board with 5″ tall wooden easel, $59 with free shipping. 10% of your money will go to the charity in the sidebar.
Click here to buy this one of a kind painting at Etsy.

This makes a great companion piece to my other tiny painting, Impressionist Flowers.
