Catty

Catty by Amy Crook
This piece was once described as looking like she was wearing a black rubber catsuit, though as the bronze has aged the patina’s gotten some flecks of blue-green verdigris on it that adds an unusual texture. She’s another of my little bronze people series, so the figure is about the size of a child’s doll. I always liked the way the lines of her body combined the lush, heart-shaped derriere with long, slender limbs and a smooth, featureless face to be both sensual and faintly creepy.
The person who bought it was kind enough to send me a better photo than the ones I had, since I wanted to post the whole series and not just the ones I had left.
Catty, approx. 12″ long cast bronze, sold.

Stick Figure Shivanaut Volant
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
Shiva Nata Volant, detail, by Amy Crook
This rich red Moleskine Volant notebook has been hand-decorated with gold to show our Shivanaut going through all eight hand positions. The stick figure dancer’s mind is a swirl of new ideas and epiphanies!
Wondering what Shiva Nata, or Dance of Shiva, is? You can find out all about it at shivanata.com.
Moleskine’s colorful notebooks are ideal for customization, turning the high-quality book into a work of art in which to wrap your ideas. The acid-free ruled paper is a creamy ivory color, and a delight to write on. The large size Volants have 96 pages between their soft vinyl covers. The design is in oil-based gold Sharpie, and should last as long as the notebook it’s drawn on.
Stick Figure Shivanaut, 5″x8.25″ customized Moleskine Volant notebook, sold.

Mermaid

Mermaid by Amy Crook
I painted this piece a few years back when I was just learning how to use my watercolors, and trying to wean myself off the temptation to paint everything in pure pigments. She ended up with an abstract, stormy quality to her, the muted tones setting off the burst of glowing mystery in her hand. I imagine she’s out on a rock on a shoreline somewhere, drawing magic down from the clouds to sustain herself.
Mermaid, 12″x16″ watercolor on watercolor paper, sold.

Cthulhu Egg

Cthulhu Egg by Amy Crook
I wanted to make some Easter-ish cards this year, but I found myself resisting the idea of hearts and flowers and happy little bunnies. So, after doing a more standard Easter egg sort of card, I allowed myself to do something a little more to my own tastes.
This image is extremely loosely based on the works of HP Lovecraft, and the horrific Elder God Cthulhu, who waits and slumbers in R’lyeh, down under the vasty deeps. Mostly it’s just a little tentacle monster hatching to give someone an unpleasant surprise.
Cthulhu Egg, 4″x6″ watercolor on a watercolor postcard, sold.
I’ve made prints available as greeting cards for $5 over at Etsy.

Precious

Precious by Amy Crook
Hidden in the abstract red-orange background is the faint outline of a woman looking at her cupped hands. She’s curled around whatever it is she’s holding, the precious object that gives the painting its title. The painting itself is a rich blend of reds and oranges with a loosely painted ochre ‘frame’.
I painted this many years ago, and it’s currently residing above the antique desk in my bedroom. I decided to list it now because the sentiment fit with the holiday season for me, and I feel ready to let it go to a new home.
Precious, 18″x24″, oil on canvas, sold.

Zombie Head Stitch Markers

Zombie Head Stitch Markers
Do you knit, or know and love a knitter who’s a little left of center? Or at least one who loves zombies.
This is a set of 5 handmade stitch markers fashioned from glow-in-the-dark polymer clay. I had a lot of fun giving each one their own personality, making sure there was a blond, brunet, redhead and even a bald little skull.
I packed them up in an old Altoids tin and filled it with coriander “earth” so your zombies will arrive safely buried and ready to eat… er, mark your stitches. They won’t really eat your brains. Probably.
Set of 5 Zombie stitch markers – sold!

Thistle

Thistle by Amy Crook
This tiny oil painting captures a moment in the blue-violet dusk. This image is the one that drove me to buy these canvases and their wee easels, the globe thistle seeming nearly white against the twilight sky, lit by the fireflies’ greenish glow.
I’ve had a really hard time capturing the subtle color with my camera, which is determined to make it bluer than it really is. Hopefully whoever buys it will find the true colors a pleasant surprise!
The edges of this little canvas are finished, the image wrapping around to the sides to add a little dimensions to this tiny bit of dusk.
Thistle, 2.75″x2.75″, oil on canvas, 5″ tall easel, sold.
