Say Thanks, John, parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Say Thanks, John,
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Another Saturday, another card! I decided I needed a trio of Sherlock thank-you cards, so you’ll see another next week just to round out the set. This time it’s John who’s rather begrudging the social niceties, which means it’s probably all Sherlock’s fault, somehow.

Say Thanks, John, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold).

Above, you can see a close-up of the rather detailed cables on John’s sweater, and his grumpy pose. Below, you can see it in a frame, hanging out with a skull, a hedgehog, and my iPhone. And you thought you kept weird company.

PS – If it ever frustrates you that certain sorts of fan art are always sold when they go up, you can always commission your own.

Above, you can see a close-up of Cthulhu’s huggable tentacles. Below, he’s in a frame, so you can get the full effect of being hugged by a tentacle monster.

Graveyard

Graveyard by Amy Crook

Graveyard by Amy Crook

If you’re at all into genre fiction & television, you might want to click this one to read the headstones. I was feeling pretty silly, so there’s a bunch of silly pop culture references lurking in amongst the uneasy dead. Note the dandelion, the black cat, and of course the zombie hand bursting up out of Mr. Addams’ grave.

Graveyard, 5″x7″ pen and ink on watercolor paper.
