Zombie Dad Plays Catch

Monday, May 21st, 2012

Zombie Dad Plays Catch cartoon by Amy Crook

Zombie Dad Plays Catch cartoon by Amy Crook, $99

I didn’t manage anything specific for Mother’s Day this year, but I have two cards for geek dads on Father’s Day. The first one was my Harry Potter art from February, and now I’ve got zombies to round out the selection.

I made the zombie kid somewhat gender neutral, so anyone can feel good suggesting that their dad would still play catch with them even if they were both to become the brain-hungry undead. And if you use a head for catch, then it’s a game and a snack after!

Zombie Dad Plays Catch, 8″x5″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, $99 with free shipping.

The cards are available in my Etsy shop, of course, in plenty of time for Father’s Day!

Grumpy Weeble for JoVE

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

Grumpy Weeble cartoon for Jo VanEvery, all rights reserved

Grumpy Weeble cartoon for Jo VanEvery, all rights reserved

The delightful Jo VanEvery wanted a cartoon — stat! — for a seminar she was doing. She wanted someone that looked a bit like one’s inner academic saying, “no!” to all the possibilities for one’s career and research. We decided on a weeble, and I sent her the colors you see above for a poster, and the inks (which I always scan before I color, in case of mishap), which they used for a coloring book page during the seminar.

She liked him so much, she’s getting a couple more, so expect to see a few more of her illustrations popping up in the coming weeks!

Mother Hydra

Mother Hydra cartoon by Amy Crook

Mother Hydra cartoon by Amy Crook, $69

I’ve taken some liberties here and used a more classic interpretation of a hydra, rather than the Lovecraftian description of Father Dagon’s bride. There’s just no way to make a vast pool of screaming faces cute, really.

As it is, I can totally imagine at least one of her heads yelling, “No more wire hangers!” She’s even got pearls and lovely pink-painted claws nails.

Just don’t mention the screaming faces and monstrous claws pressing against her heavy, pregnant belly. Or think about what sort of monsters she’s the mother of, if you want to sleep tonight.

Mother Hydra, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper, $69 with free shipping.

Baby Squid

Baby Squid, cartoon art by Amy Crook

Baby Squid, cartoon art by Amy Crook, $77

Sometimes, I have to make art just so I can put it on a card in my Etsy shop, and this is one of those times. I’m trying to expand my offerings over there to something that isn’t quite so holiday-dependent. Thus we have a gender-free, geek-positive baby cards. I actually made two versions of this one: one is blank with just the image, and the other says, “Congratulations, it’s a…” on the front, and on the inside finishes with “Well, Congratulations, anyway.” Yes, I can even be sarcastic in the face of those giant soulful eyes.

I did have fun trying to make the cutest widdle squiddy you ever did see, though. The original would be awesome in a baby’s room somewhere, trying to out-cute the offspring.

Above I have him put into a frame so you can imagine how it would look, though this piece doesn’t ship framed unless you ask me to (and pay a little more). Below, you can see what he looks like on the snarky version of the card.

Get Well Squid

Get Well Squid cartoon by Amy Crook

Get Well Squid by Amy Crook, $79

A friend of mine is in the hospital right now, so I drew up this little guy and printed him on a card to help cheer her up while she undergoes treatment. I’m not sure how he’s going to get that bottle of pills open without a helping hand, but he sure looks like he could use them, poor guy.

Get Well Squid, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper, $79 for the original with free shipping, or get him on a card of your own at my Etsy shop.
