Advent 2016, week 3

Monday, December 26th, 2016

2016 is almost over!

To celebrate the end of this terrible year, I’m doing one sketch every day. They’re in various media on these cheap-but-archival 5.5″x8.5″ embossed white cards. Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a special sale for my email list next month, and some of them are already spoken for.

I’ve had the flu and then a cold for most of December, so pardon some of the bizarreness going on here. I am almost not sick at this point, but still have a bit of lingering bleh. BLEH.

Sherlock’s Perfect Christmas

Tuesday, November 15th, 2016

Sherlock's Perfect Christmas, parody art by Amy Crook

Sherlock’s Perfect Christmas, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

This year for Sherlock’s annual holiday card, I decided to give him a little bit of all of his favorite things — from Victorian wallpaper to modern murder, there’s a perfect Sherlock Christmas in the making.

I’m particularly fond of the gingerdead man — what’s your favorite part?

Inktober 2016, Week 3

Monday, October 24th, 2016

Three Inktober weeks down, one to go! It was another week full of Grand Days Out, so there’s a lot of easy stuff and a bit of more complex ink art. Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a bookmark sale for my email list next month, and some of them are already spoken for.

Tea: Molly Hooper

Thursday, April 28th, 2016

Tea: Molly Hooper, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

Tea: Molly Hooper, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!

This last piece in the Tea Series features the adorkable Molly Hooper, the pathologist from whose morgue Sherlock keeps borrowing all manner of unpleasant items. She’s got a soothing cup of Darjeeling, probably to help her nerves after one of Sherlock’s visits.

Tea: Lestrade

Tea: Lestrade, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

Tea: Lestrade, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!

This third piece in the Tea Series features DI Lestrade from the BBC Sherlock series. The put-upon detective inspector needs a strong, bracing cup of Assam to help him keep up with Sherlock’s antics.

Wimble

Tuesday, March 15th, 2016

Wimble, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook

Wimble: Any of several boring tools, such as a gimlet or an auger; to bore with.
7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

This was only the second Word Art Wednesday, and I’ve already resorted to terrible puns. I don’t think this bodes well for you all, but hopefully you’ll enjoy them anyway.

I’ll be doing another of these tomorrow on Periscope, probably around 2pm Pacific. Come join me! Or watch me. Or at least my hands. Something.

Conversation Arts week 1

Monday, February 8th, 2016

Conversation Heart art prompts

After recovering from the foolishness of doing a daily sketch project and NaNoWriMo in a single month (my advice: don’t do that), I felt ready to tackle the month of love and sarcasm! I bought a bag of large conversation hearts, and have been choosing (and eating) one out of the bag every day. The whims of fate and candy have brought you these seven sketches.

Conversation Arts 1: Cutie Pie

Conversation Arts 1: Cutie Pie – $10

Q + tech = qt3.14.

Conversation Arts 2: On Fleek

Conversation Arts 2: On Fleek – $25

This gorgeous kitty’s tail is on fleek.

Conversation Arts 3: Best Day

Snacks, personal space, and something exploding? The Twelfth Doctor’s best day.

Conversation Arts 4: XOXO

Conversation Arts 4: XOXO – $25

Conversation Arts 5: My Love

Conversation Arts 5: My Love – sold

Sherlock + skull = love beyond death. Or at least after.

Conversation Arts 6: Soul Mate

Conversation Arts 6: Soul Mate – $10

Ron & Hermione, he’s smug and she’s not so sure about this soulmates thing.

Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me

Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me – $25

Who could say no to a proposal like that?
