Inktober 2016, Week 2
Monday, October 17th, 2016
Inktober continues apace! It’s a busy week, so there’s some easy stuff and some more complex ink art. Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a bookmark sale for my email list next month, and some of them are already spoken for. There’s even a couple of things destined for November’s Floating Gallery. Quite a variety!

Double-Oh Mistletoe

Double-Oh Mistletoe, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper,
parody James Bond art by Amy Crook
The holidays are coming whether we’re ready or not! This adorable bit of Inktober art doubles as a Christmas card for the chosen few. James Bond is cuddling his Quartermaster under the mistletoe, both of them dressed for the holidays. Q is even sporting a cheerful red bow in his messy mop of hair!

Taste of the Holidays
Thursday, September 22nd, 2016
Taste of the Holidays, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker,
Inception parody art by Amy Crook
For once, Arthur’s looking awfully pleased at something Eames is offering him. That candy cane Eames is sucking on does look rather tasty, so I don’t blame him!
I know it feels insanely early to be getting holiday cards done, but trust me, I’m running late in the world of retail. Inception fandom is a tiny one, but it’s really the best, nicest fandom, so I had to make a card just for us.

Happy Birthday to Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, and meeeee!

Concupiscient
Thursday, August 25th, 2016
Concupiscient: filled with sexual desire; lustful,
5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Word art abounds! Kim asked for “concupiscient” as her Patreon patron sketch this month, and since I know she loves Lestrade I couldn’t resist giving him this naughty cameo.

Smaug’s Hoard
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016
Smaug’s Hoard, 8.27″×11.69″ (A4) pen & ink and Copic marker on bleed-proof Copic paper
The tiny hobbit burglar is trying to keep himself quiet, but he’s been found by the big red dragon protecting his hoard. Smaug’s surrounded himself with gold and gems on every side, piles upon piles until there’s nowhere to go that Bilbo doesn’t set of a cascade of sound.
Smaug is a glory of reds and oranges among his shining treasures, and he looks a bit like a cat with a mouse as he huffs warm breath over the wee hobbit.
This piece is an unusual size for American, but perfect for those with sensible paper sizes — A4 is not quite letter size, and you can find frames for it at Ikea.

Above, you can see tiny Bilbo getting huffed at by a big red dragon. Below, the piece snuck like a burglar into a 9×12 frame so you can imagine how it would look in your own hoard.

July Patreon Sketches

Avada Kedavra, word art bookmark by Amy Crook
I didn’t have a ton of patrons who were around this month, they’re all out in the summer getting sunshine and other things I’m allergic to!
They did have these two requests, though, first for Avada Kedavra, the Slytherin’s favorite spell. It’s got a shiny green paint and some contrasting green glitter gel pen to give it a lovely magical feel on this black bookmark.
The second, below, was for Lestrade from Sherlock in glasses. He ended up being caught unexpectedly on a sleepy morning, wearing his glasses and reading the paper in his pjs.
Support me on Patreon to want to get sketches or word art of your own!
