Abandon All Hope

Abandon All Hope print by Amy Crook
A perfect message for your Monday, really, this print reads:
ABANDON ALL HOPE
Ye Who Enter Here**If you have already abandoned all
hope, please disregard this notice.
I saw this quote on a LOLcat ages ago, which of course I totally failed to bookmark, and made a digital poster of it. I could never quite bring myself to list it in my Etsy shop, however, and I think that was because it just wasn’t really my style. So, I took watercolor and Sharpie marker and remade it by hand with scribbly Amy-style Sharpie calligraphy, and I liked it so much I’m keeping the original.
Abandon All Hope, 8″x10″ watercolor and Sharpie Marker on paper, not for sale. However, prints are available at my Etsy shop.

Sharpie Week: Shub-Niggurath
Saturday, November 19th, 2011
Shub-Niggurath Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Sometimes called (or associated with, or… well, it is Lovecraft) the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, Shub-Niggurath is one of Lovecraft’s more interesting creations. I admit I got a little bored after 3 young, but I’m sure the other 997 are around there somewhere. It’s a bit more loose than the rest of the Sharpie Week drawings, mainly because I didn’t feel like coloring it all in, but it’s sketch Saturday so I figure I can get away with it. This is just a preliminary weeble, anyway, though there aren’t really any descriptions to go on. I just looked up a black goat and tried to make it creepy, weeble-y, and cute. I mean, look at those floppy ears!

Sharpie Week: Jack Skellington

Jack Skellington Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
This one’s all my doing! I was contemplating things I love but don’t draw much, and Nightmare Before Christmas is right at the top of that list. Jack’s looking a bit guilty because he thinks he ought to give Santa’s hat back, but he just feels so dapper in it!

Sharpie Week: John’s Bath

John's Bath Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
When I was at a loss for what else to draw for this week, a friend of mine said “John! In the bath!” And then I thought, no, no, that’s not… wait, I could give him a duckie in a jumper. And then I really had to do it. So, here it is. With a duckie in a warm woolen sweater. Because I could.

Sharpie Week: Autumn Smooch

Autumn Smooch sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Another request from a friend, she wanted a kiss under a tree. I have to admit, it’s much more fun drawing kisses when you don’t have to get all worried about the exact placement of lips and noses and chins!

Sharpie Week: Sherlock meets Octopus

Sherlock meets Octopus sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Sharpie week continues! It was pointed out that I ought to keep to my Tentacle Tuesday tradition, and Sherlock volunteered to help. This one is exceptionally silly, I blame the fever.

Sharpie Week: Lobster Pot Pie
Monday, November 14th, 2011
Lobster Pot Pie sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Allergy season is over, and so, I have a head cold! Normally I would spend Sunday scheduling art posts and guaranteeing you all a week of awesomeness, but this week I’m sick and Photoshop and I aren’t speaking over color matching differences. So, my solution? You get a week of Sharpie Marker doodles.
Now, I am running a fever, so I’m not silly enough to do these without a little bit of penciling, but overall I don’t think I spent more than 15 minutes on any of them from start to finish.
If you’re wondering about the subject matter, you can blame my friends for that — I asked them what to draw and they made suggestions. Though the bite I had of my friend’s lobster pot pie on Saturday night was very tasty, so I suppose it does deserve to be immortalized.
