Concupiscient, word art by Amy Crook

Concupiscient: filled with sexual desire; lustful,
5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

Word art abounds! Kim asked for “concupiscient” as her Patreon patron sketch this month, and since I know she loves Lestrade I couldn’t resist giving him this naughty cameo.

Patreon patrons help pay for art supplies, cat food, and caffeine for the artist, and get great perks like sketches and wallpapers for their ongoing support. Become a patron today!

Persnickety

Persnickety, word art by Amy Crook

Persnickety: placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy,
7″x5″ pen & ink, brush & ink, and pencil on paper

Word Art Wednesday is back after its short break! This was a request from one of my patient Patreon patrons, and I couldn’t resist the urge to get fussy with the drop cap.

What are you persnickety about?

Panurgic

Panurgic, James Bond parody word art by Amy Crook

Panurgic: able or ready to do anything,
7″x5″ pen & ink, brush pen, and Copic marker on paper

When I saw this word, I immediately thought of James Bond — always ready to for a lovely lady, a martini, a fight, or all three at once. He’s sticking to the drink here, but I’m sure at least one of the others will show up later to keep life interesting.

Engouement

Engouement, Inception word art by Amy Crook

Engouement: unreasoning fondness, 7″x5″ pen and ink on paper

The 6th anniversary of Inception was this past weekend, and so here’s one last adorable Arthur and Eames to celebrate.

“Unreasoning fondness” describes a lot of what it’s like to be in fandom, loving something to a ridiculous degree despite its flaws. See also: cats.

What do you have engouement for?

F*ck Tech Support

F*ck Tech Support, word art by Amy Crook

F*ck Tech Support, 7″x5″ brush and ink on paper

My printer is dead! And the replacement printer had software issues that were unresolvable, so now we’re waiting for printer number three. After I wasted an entire afternoon of Epson & Adobe playing the “no it’s their fault” blame game.

I really, really hate tech support. But, hey, I got this done while I was on hold.

And as a bonus, here’s a pretty version with color!

Slyboots

Slyboots, word art by Amy Crook

Slyboots: an engagingly sly or mischievous person,
7″x5″ brush pen & ink on paper

Slyboots is one of those words that just needed a cat. I also have several fandom ideas for it, so we might see it again at another point in the year — maybe November can be a Greatest Hits month where I do different versions of words I’ve already done while the rest of my brain is busy with NaNoWriMo.

Do you have a slyboots in your life?

Ambivalence

Ambivalence, Doctor Who word art by Amy Crook

Ambivalence: mixed feelings,
7″x5″ brush pen, pen & ink, and Copic marker on paper

Another Patreon sketch, today we have some mixed feelings about bow ties. Are they really cool? Eleven isn’t so certain, but his confidence will perk up again soon, I have no doubt. Perhaps the TARDIS will reassure him once it arrives on the scene.

If you’d like a chance to request your own fancy word art, come support me on Patreon!
