eat ZOMBIE love
Friday, August 13th, 2010
Some days I’d rather make art than an art post — enjoy this mod of my newest tin of tea, as inspired by this post, and I’m gonna go make a cup and paint. (For the record, I didn’t really want to support the franchise, but it’s Blood Orange Cinnamon tea from my favorite tea people, so I crumbled.)

Pencil Monster #2

Pencil Monster #2 by Amy Crook
Here’s the second of my little monsters inspired by the amazing pencil sculptures of Jennifer Maestre. This one makes me think of what might happen if one of Lovecraft’s Moon Beasts got an angora sweater, which is disturbing on a whole different level. Perhaps instead the toothy worm-creature gains mobility by hosting the fuzzy-legged symbiote on its back.
Happy Independence Day, indeed!

Pencil Monster #1

Pencil Monster 1 by Amy Crook
I’m concluding the week of monsters with a pair of sketches (#2 will go up tomorrow) inspired by the amazing pencil sculptures of Jennifer Maestre. This one was specifically inspired by the piece “Chimera,” not an exact match but a little doodled monster of similar lineage. I think it came out with a distinctly Lovecraftian feel, especially once the mouth became an eye and the eyelashes became tentacles. It’s another piece out of my tiny bedside sketchbook, so the original is only a few inches high.

Wood Sprite Flashing
Sunday, June 27th, 2010
I’ll round out my weekend of naked sketches with this impish little sprite, sitting on a branch and flashing the world. I guess he just didn’t feel like putting leaves anywhere but his hair today.
Mom’s wedding went really smoothly and was lovely, and I survived mostly unscathed, except for a blister on one heel from the new shoes. It was very small and had just immediate family, and nobody dropped anything, not even their lines.

Nude Man Reaching
Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Nude Man Reaching by Amy Crook
Another nude sketch today, his hands & feet are a little out of proportion but I really liked the line his body made in my head, and that’s what I tried hardest to get out onto the paper. Hands and feet are always so fiddly, when I’m just doodling I don’t always want to erase a dozen times to get them right.
Wedding today, wish me luck! Not that I have much to do other than stand around and smile and look awkward in my dress, but I’m getting about socialified out and there’s still a few more days of people in my future before I can go back to my hermit life.

Nude Girl doodle

Naked Girl doodle by Amy Crook
I’m busy with prep for Mom’s wedding, so have doodle! It’s a nude woman curled in a fetal position, looking over her shoulder at something that displeases her. Inspired by any number of iconic anime, tv and movie moments, though they usually do a better job of hiding the nipples. Enjoy!

Country Mouse, City Mouse

Country Mouse, City Mouse by Amy Crook
This is another tiny bedside-notebook doodle, this one inspired in part by the Aesop’s Fable, and in part by one of my not-so-secret addictions, the Facebook game MouseHunt. I imagine the country mouse is from somewhere far away from Gnawnia and its strange mice and determined hunters with their bizarre traps, while the city mouse would fit right in with the other denizens of the kingdom.
