Weeble Wednesday: The Mummy
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
The Mummy + Heart by Amy Crook
I got laid up yesterday by illness and missed my 2nd art post of the new year! Not the best way to begin, but there wasn’t much else I could do. Still not feeling my best, but I got my new coloring books done!
Today I have the fully-colored Mummy illustration from my new Monster Heart Coloring Book. He was fun to color despite the simplicity, I got to use some techniques to age his bandages without making him totally yellowed. I even have a marker called “old linen” that I used.
You can get him for your mummy-loving Valentine at Etsy, or buy the original below.
The Mummy and The Mummy’s Heart, both 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on watercolor paper. $129 for the pair in a double frame, with free shipping.

Weeble Wednesday: Frankenstein’s Monster
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
Frankenstein's Monster + Heart by Amy Crook
I colored up one of the monsters for my upcoming Monster Heart Coloring Book for next year! This is Frankenstein’s Monster, and his heart. He’s an awfully charming monster, I sort of imagine he’d say, “How you doin’?” if he could talk.
These are actually two separate pieces that go together. The coloring book will have all-new art in it, and I’m having a ton of fun with the hearts and weebles. I mean, who knew Cthulhu could make puppy eyes? But you’ll have to wait a bit to see that. 
Frankenstein’s Monster and Frankenstein’s Monster’s Heart, both 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on watercolor paper. $129 for the pair in a double frame, with free shipping.

Naomi’s Jack, and her Monster
Friday, October 8th, 2010
Naomi's Monster by Amy Crook
Back in May I offered three slots to draw people’s Monsters, so I could by Havi’s Monster Coloring Book. It’s taken a while to get both of us connected (she’s a busy one!), but I finally have the third one done, for Naomi Dunford of Ittybiz.
Naomi didn’t have a specific Monster she wanted colored, so she sent me some pictures of Jack and we talked a little, and I did a sketch for her of this friendly little hill monster offering Jack a pink rose (Naomi has a thing for pink roses. Who knew?). It took a while to get it from idea to finished product, but I love the cheerful green and pink result, a non-creepy monster for her to hang on the wall.

Weeble Wednesday: King in Yellow
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010
Weeble King in Yellow by Amy Crook
The King in Yellow is the fourth weeble in my series of depictions of the mythos of HP Lovecraft. He’s often associated with Hastur, and originally appears in the short story “The Repairer of Repuations.” He is the titular character in a play said to reveal such irresistible truth as to drive any reader or viewer mad.
In keeping with the Neil Gaiman theme of the week, the play is a central part of a pastiche of Lovecraft and Sherlock Holmes that he wrote, entitled “A Study in Emerald.”
King in Yellow, 5″x7″ pen, ink and copic marker on watercolor paper, $79 with free shipping. 10% of your money will go to charity.

Weeble Wednesday: Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010
Nyarlathotep Weeble by Amy Crook
Adding another weeble to my depictions of the mythos of HP Lovecraft, I give you Nyarlathotep. He appears at least twice as a handsome, charismatic Pharaoh gathering armies for the Great Old Ones. He’s also known as the Crawling Chaos, and he shows up in a few other, less palatable forms, in other stories. I had fun drawing his creepy-crawly shadow, not to mention the sneaky monsterified details on his otherwise traditional costume.
Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, 5″x7″ pen, ink and copic marker on watercolor paper, $79 with free shipping.

Monster in Daisies

Monster in Daisies by Amy Crook
I drew this little guy because I wanted to remind myself that my internal voices, what Havi Brooks calls Monsters, just want to take care of me. And that sometimes, those monsters are a lot smaller than their voices sound. This miniature monster just wants to be friends, and make sure we can all just get along. He’s even got flowers!
Monster in Daisies, 5″x7″ copic markers on watercolor paper. Buy Him on a Card at Etsy!

Weeble Cthulhu

Weeble Cthulhu by Amy Crook
As promised, I’m reposting Weeble Cthulhu from earlier this year so he’s hiding in amongst my daily art for those seeking out my (so far rather small) series of Lovecraftian weebles. He’s got his pet Shoggoth with him with his bowl of cultist snacks and everything.
I made a greeting card out of him for Valentine’s Day that said, “Cthulhu wanted to give you a heart, but they were all too small and squishy.” They sold so well I took off the “Happy Valentine’s Day” and have left them up on the shop ever since.
Weeble Cthulhu, 4″x6″ pen and ink and Copic markers on a watercolor postcard, $79 with free shipping. Or, get him on a greeting card at Etsy!
