Setting It Free

Setting It Free by Amy Crook
Just a little sketch for Saturday, an experiment in figure drawing. I didn’t feel like repeating the “reaching for the unattainable” post again, so this time I gave him something to set free. Let’s hope it comes back, and brings him some clothes.

eat ZOMBIE love
Some days I’d rather make art than an art post — enjoy this mod of my newest tin of tea, and I’m gonna go make a cup and paint. (For the record, I didn’t really want to support the franchise, but it’s Blood Orange Cinnamon tea from my favorite tea people, so I crumbled.)

Translucent Pelagic Octopus
Posted on August 12th, 2010
Translucent Pelagic Octopus tiny painting by Amy Crook
Today’s tiny painting is a Translucent Pelagic Octopus, a deep-sea creature that floats ghostlike in the dark ocean. They have some phosphorescence in blues and reds and even a bit of gold to go with the white, and seem to be sculptures of living glass. Iridescent paint gives the image a big of shimmer, adding to the effect.
He’s giving you a cheerful hello wave from his tiny canvas, which is about the size of a postcard. He comes with a small wooden easel to easily display him on a flat surface such as a bookshelf, mantelpiece, desk, cubicle, or very patient cat.

Weeble Wednesday: Delta
Posted on August 11th, 2010
Weeble Delta by Amy Crook
Yet another of my friends who I weeble-ified, Delta’s got a weakness for blank books like many of us but she actually fills hers with regular journaling. She loves snakes as well, hence the t-shirt (she’s not-so-secretly a Slytherin at heart).
If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Self Sufficient

Self Sufficient, front view, by Amy Crook
I thought I’d shake up the week a little and post my bronze early, this time a single figure who can be interpreted as taking care of herself, or covering up against prying eyes. Or perhaps a bit of both, who knows.
She can be posed quite modestly if her back is to the audience, like this:

Or she can be quite wanton when posed differently yet:

Like so many things in life, it’s all about your perspective.
Self Sufficient, cast bronze approx. 4.5″w x 5.5″d x 4.5″h, $699 with free shipping.

What You See

What You See by Amy Crook
This etching plate was cut from a larger “found” plate. When I found the abandoned piece, this particular image jumped out at me, so when I cut the plate into smaller pieces, I saved this one out. It’s printed onto a piece of handmade paper with little strands of human hair (a lock cut from a classmate, iirc). The paper has gorgeous natural edges, and would look great floated on a black matte and framed, though right now it’s just loose.
I feel like it would be giving something away to tell you what I see when I look at the piece, instead of letting you find your own images. I will say that there’s an element of anima, of the manitou, in it for me. What do you see?

Bobtail Squid

Bobtail Squid sketch by Amy Crook
Today’s art is a startled little bobtail squid, who clearly wasn’t expecting to have his portrait sketched this morning. I’ve got a tiny painting of one of his cousins in the works, actually, which I’ll be getting back to once my last houseguest of the summer leaves and life returns to some value of normal.
