Sinister Sharpie
Friday, April 13th, 2012
Sinister Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
For Friday the 13th, we have @SFEtsy‘s amusing Twitter suggestion, “something sinister that smells like the black abyss that is Sharpie yet with polka dot galoshes.” Spooky, yet adorable.
Happy Friday the 13th, and lucky weekend!

Recipe: Pirate Cocktail
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
When @skaldheim on Twitter suggested I draw a cocktail for Sharpie Week, I decided to double it up with Words Wednesday and give you a cocktail recipe. I’m all multitasking and efficient and stuff.
- 1.5 oz golden rum such as Pyrat Pistol, 10 Cane, or Mount Gay Eclipse. No Bacardi. Never Bacardi.
- 0.5 oz sweet vermouth
- dash of Angostura bitters
- cherry (optional)
Measure and serve in a highball over ice. Yarr!

Negative Sixteen Degrees Sharpie

Sharpie Sherlock silliness by Amy Crook
Sharpie Week Redux continues with tentacles! You know I’d never skip your Tuesday tentacles.
This time @wyomingnot on Twitter asked me to draw something related to a fanfic where Sherlock is a genius pastry chef who wants to open an ice cream shop, and John is his faithful sidekick/store manager. The title is I believe the name of the shop, which refers to the ideal ice cream storage temperature in Celsius.
Or something, I don’t know. John! Sherlock! Tentacle Surprise ice cream! Really, do the details matter?

Nick Fury: Agent of Sharpie

Nick Fury, Agent of Sharpie, sketch by Amy Crook
I’ve been busy and full of pollen and somehow I’m behind on art all of a sudden, so you get Sharpie Week Redux! All Sharpie sketches, all week. Today’s was at the request of @kdlb on Twitter, who asked for a weeble inspired by the Avengers movie. I couldn’t resist the chance to weeble-ify Samuel L. Jackson, and so, here we are.
Sharpie Week is one of the ways I trim back obligations when I’m overwhelmed. What’s your solution?

Nap Attack

Nap Attack, Sherlock cartoon by Amy Crook
A friend asked for some cheer-up art of Sherlock fallen asleep over his experiments, and perhaps someone having covered him with a blanket. I couldn’t leave John out of the picture, so here he is mid-kindness.
Click the picture to see it bigger. I feel John is the one responsible for re-labeling Sherlock’s blow torch, and that at least one item in the array actually belongs to Mrs. Hudson. Oops.

Harry Potter, ink sketch by Amy Crook
Another little sketch that went as a gift with some art. Harry always was fascinated with magic, and I like his expression, leaning back and admiring his Lumos.

Grumpy Weeble for JoVE
Saturday, March 31st, 2012
Grumpy Weeble cartoon for Jo VanEvery, all rights reserved
The delightful Jo VanEvery wanted a cartoon — stat! — for a seminar she was doing. She wanted someone that looked a bit like one’s inner academic saying, “no!” to all the possibilities for one’s career and research. We decided on a weeble, and I sent her the colors you see above for a poster, and the inks (which I always scan before I color, in case of mishap), which they used for a coloring book page during the seminar.
She liked him so much, she’s getting a couple more, so expect to see a few more of her illustrations popping up in the coming weeks!
