“You’re sure you know where we’re going?”
Adrift, Doctor Who art by Amy Crook
After doing Mario’s Cave, I started to get more ideas for putting tiny bits of the things I’m a fan of into my paintings in a meaningful, interesting way. Tomorrow’s is actually the next one I thought of, but I’m saving it for the traditional day. This one I painted the pattern of waves-or-maybe-scales, and then staring at it I thought, I could put a TARDIS, just there.
Floating adrift on a sea of scales-or-maybe-waves seems like just the sort of trouble the Doctor would get himself into.
Adrift, 8″x4″ watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper.

Above, you can see the actual size of the wee TARDIS next to a dime, though the actual colors are not quite so brightly cyan as all that. Below, I’ve temporarily tucked it into a 10″x8″ frame to show you how it might look.

Sharpie Week: Spiderweb

Sharpie Spiderweb sketch by Amy Crook
And so Sharpie Week comes to a close on a Goth sort of note, with a little spiderweb out of my sketchbook done in black fine point Sharpie.
I hope you are all having a cool and relaxing Sunday, and that the weather apps aren’t lying to me and today is cool for me, as well. Whew.

Sharpie Week: Fraggle

Sharpie Fraggle sketch by Amy Crook
Dance your cares away, it’s Saturday! A generic Fraggle for those of you who actually remember Fraggle Rock.
My favorite character on that show is, of course, Mokey Fraggle. Who’s yours?

Sharpie Green Bear sketch by Amy Crook
I saw some plushies a bit like this in Japantown the other day, so I was inspired to scribble this little guy.
Look out! Rawr!

Sharpie Week: Golden Snitch

Sharpie Golden Snitch sketch by Amy Crook
My house guest has flown back to DC, and I’ve got one more day of vacation plans before it’s back to the grind. Actually there’ll be a little grind today, since I’ve got a teleclass, but we’re pretending that’s just not the case at the moment. Much like how we’re pretending that the above Snitch is actually round.
Also, my cats say hi, and want you to know that I’m never allowed to leave the house again.

Sharpie Wood Fairy sketch by Amy Crook
This cheerful little trickster was by request of the wonderful patron who commissioned the Forest Dragon. He’s totally contemplating what mischief he can get into next.

Sharpie Week: Bashful Cuttlefish

Sharpie Bashful Cuttlefish sketch by Amy Crook
Prompted by the very houseguest who is keeping me in SF and away from my studio, I drew a bashful little cuttlefish hiding behind a shell. Don’t ask me about the spots, I don’t even know. He wanted color.
