Tentacle Deeps 47 by Amy Crook
The tentacles are back, and it’s even Tuesday! This piece started with the crosshatched background in black Sharpie marker, and then watercolor in layers on top of it. The tentacles themselves are thickly scribbled on, so the iridescent paint has a bit of texture to it where it floats atop the watery teal wash.

Above, you can see the sunlight reflecting purple off the iridescent tentacles, and the metallic golden bubbles floating serenely nearby. Below, you can see the piece in a frame on my wall, though without the helpful iPhone which for some reason doesn’t yet come with an anti-gravity feature.

Lucky Squid
Posted on April 8th, 2013
Lucky Squid cartoon by Amy Crook, $99
This little squid is pure self-indulgence! I was in my favorite place for bubble tea, and I noticed they had a bunch of various lucky cat sculptures around. The owner has always enjoyed my squid cards at the holidays, so I decided I needed to combine these two ideas with a proper Lucky Squid. I even googled the traditions so I could decide which details to keep (the red ears and white coat became red fins and white skin, and of course he’s got his gold coin), and which to ignore (a squid in a collar and bib didn’t seem like it would work). I even put him on a greeting card!
Lucky Squid, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, $99 with free shipping.

Above, you can see the coin up close and my terrible rendition of the traditional kanji for 10 million ryo, washed red on the paper and blue in the ink by the sunlight. Below, the cheerful little squid beckons to you from a frame, accompanied by my stalwart iPhone and a few plushie friends.

Sunday Round-Up & Penguin Sketch

The Death of Me, Too, a Sherlock print by Amy Crook
This week was all of a piece, with The Death of Me, Too, the comic sequel to The Death of Me. You can read them both from the start at this tag, which even puts them in the right order for you.
I pulled out my Sharpie to sketch something I vaguely saw in the shapes of something I was staring blankly at during my ‘blink and yawn’ phase this morning, so enjoy this penguin, who is feeling about as awake and full of meh as I am. My hair looks better, though.

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
And so we come to the end, when John and Sherlock have both survived their terrible colds and, in John’s case, some rather terrible caretaking. I think the expression on John’s face here really says it all, don’t you?
If you enjoyed this comic, consider getting a print at my Etsy shop to have your very own copy to admire and giggle over.

Lestrade’s stopped in to see how things are going at 221b, and he’s a bit concerned for John’s chances of survival. John is, too, but Sherlock’s perfectly confident and doesn’t appreciate all this doubt. He’s even pulled out his Manual of Exotic Diseases vol. III to check up on John’s symptoms, not to mention sharing his hedgehog.

And of course, it being Sherlock, he might be taking this caring thing a little too far. He’s brought oranges, biscuits, more tissues, another blanket, another pillow, a sandwich, and of course some chicken soup. He’s sure he read somewhere that it’s better to feed sick boys their soup so they eat it all, but John’s just not cooperating.

Smug Sherlock is smug. John’s got everything an invalid could want, from toast to his otter plushie. He’s sure to be well in no time!
