Would you like a deck of cards with 54 different pieces of art on them, plus the 55th (shown above) on the back? Of course you would!

  • Fully playable, professionally printed 54-card deck, including 2 Jokers
  • Each card features art by Amy Crook
  • Preorder now for shipping as soon as possible — no guarantees about Christmas, though, sorry!
  • Standard 2.5″x3.5″ playing card size
  • Packaged in a plain white cardboard box for $25
  • Box is signed for free, or get a sketch on your box for an extra $25
  • Shipping is free in the US. If you’re outside of the US, email me to make special arrangements!

This is pretty much a one-shot, preorder-only run, so if you think you want them, now’s the time! I’ll be ordering them on December 5, so if you miss the window, that’s it.

EDIT: Orders are closed! Thanks to everyone who got the thing, they are on their way to me very soon.

Hulk Cuddle

Posted on November 27th, 2018

HULK CUDDLE by Amy Crook, a pen and marker cartoon of the hulk giving Tony Stark a very enthusiastic hug

HULK CUDDLE, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

This image came about talking to my friends about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like you do, and one of them was enamored of it enough to commission it! I’m especially fond of tony’s wide-eyed look of dismay and Hulk’s upside-down frown of pure joy.

HULK LIKE TIN MAN.

Teehee.

My commissions queue is CLOSED right now and probably will be into next year, so if you were looking to get something, er, ever, you might want to get on the wait list.

Shiny Eevee

Shiny Eevee by Amy Crook, a drawing of a grumpy sleeping Eevee in shiny colors

Shiny Eevee, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

Commissioner of Shiny Pokémon strikes again! This time we have a shiny Eevee sleeping like a winter fox, one eye open in the glare perfected by my grumpy cat. I seem to have a thing for grumpy sleeping Eeveelutions, but really, who can blame me?

Jolteon

Jolteon by Amy Crook, a drawing of the Jolteon Pokemon curled up like a cat, glaring

Jolteon, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

Belladonna grumpily posed for this addition to my Pokémon series, an Eeveelution looking spiky, grumpy, and generally adorable. Jolteon is an electric type, and while he’s showing his claws, the zap he could give you is probably the real threat. Unlike most of this commission series, this one’s not shiny, though I did make a shiny variation with the power of Photoshop.
