Better Than Snail Mail by Amy Crook

Better Than Snail Mail by Amy Crook

I drew this snowy owl several years ago for the program book at a convention, and then ended up making Cafepress swag out of it on a whim. I have it on a coaster and some greeting cards, actually, though I never bought the t-shirt for myself.

It also was the basis for my shoulder tattoo, although that owl is carrying a book rather than a letter.

Snape by Amy Crook

Snape by Amy Crook

To go with yesterday’s botched Potions lesson, here’s a very stylized drawing of Professor Snape to go with it. The lightning bolt is from a very silly little Harry Potter stamp kit, and the rest is pen and ink.

By now I’m sure it’s obvious I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, so I thought I’d post another little drawing I did. The cheap paper made the Copic markers bleed a little more than usual, but I like the effect in the eerie magic flame under Harry’s cauldron.

Absinthe Snape

Absinthe Snape by Amy Crook

Absinthe Snape by Amy Crook

A while back I did some silly doodles as gifts for online friends, and this one ended quite polished. I think it was the absinthe glass, which just wanted a level of fine detail to go with its fine contents, plus the style was just fun to draw. There’s just something about drawing Snape that’s engaging for me, with his unrelenting black clothes and scowling face and big nose.

I’ve never actually tried absinthe myself — I have a friend that’s a big fan of it since it got re-legalized (something about lead pipes driving people crazy rather than wormwood), but he never manages to pony up and give me some to try. Perhaps this year I’ll make it to his absinthe bar at Dickens Faire in SF.
