Tying the Knot, squid cartoon by Amy Crook
These two squid have found love in each other, the blue-eyed green squid and green-eyed blue squid making the perfect pair. They’ve just tied the knot, so congratulate them on their union! Just don’t ask which one’s the boy.
Tying the Knot, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper.
You can also congratulate your cephalopod-loving friends on their marriage with a card from my Etsy shop.

Above, you can see a close-up of their knotted tentacles. Below, they’ve slipped into a frame and are hanging out with the poor five-armed octopus, and my iPhone of course.

Thank You Squid

Thank You Squid cartoon by Amy Crook, $99
Wouldn’t a gift like this make you want to say “Thank You” to the giver? I mean, really, who wouldn’t want a squid that cute? And the squid of course just wants to be loved and appreciated. It’s even sporting a bright red bow!
Thank You Squid, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, $99 with free shipping.

Above is the cheery red bow shining in the sun, on top of the squid’s teal head. The original is a gorgeous bright teal color, which of course no screen will ever reproduce properly. Dammit. Below, he’s hanging out in a frame with an octopus from Ikea. Well, pentapus, really. Ikea’s a bit odd that way.

Eleven’s 1100

Eleven’s 1100, Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook
The Doctor is unimpressed with boring human age-related angst as well, because it’s a good time to be drawing birthday card art. He’s lived over 1100 years! He’s got his trusty TARDIS to keep him company, anyway, and a bowtie. Bowties are cool.
Eleven’s 1100, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). He’s still available as a card in my Etsy shop.

Above, you can see the sun washing the Doctor red and blue, but bringing out his cheekbones in sharp relief. Below, he’s hanging out in his frame with his TARDIS and a random cephalopod.

Tea at Bag End

Tea at Bag End, The Hobbit fan art by Amy Crook
After I drew Second Breakfast and sold the original, I was very sad for the empty spot on my wheat-yellow wall he had once occupied. So, I drew a Bilbo of my very own! He’s having a lovely tea at home in his dressing gown. Bilbo’s very glad to be back in the Shire where a hobbit can get six proper meals a day and enjoy a proper cuppa in comfort.
I’m considering making prints or blank cards, I haven’t decided yet, but his original art is staying here with me.
Tea at Bag End, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (in the collection of the artist).

Above, you can see Reaching Out and Tea at Bag End in their permanent homes, and Skull Paper (which will post later this week) hanging out with them so I can enjoy it while I still have it.

GrumpySherlock

GrumpySherlock cartoon by Amy Crook
I had a day last week when I was kept awake past my bedtime by noisy people, and awakened far before my usual time by different noisy people, and spent the entire day feeling very grumpy indeed. So, I cheered myself up with this — note the Grumpycat-like shading around his eyes and mouth, especially.
GrumpySherlock, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). But Grumpy Sherlock can now grace your gifts with these very cranky tags.

Sherlock Birthday
Friday, March 22nd, 2013
“The fact of your birth isn’t so much cause for celebration as a biological coincidence –“
“He means, ‘Happy Birthday.'”
Sherlock Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
Yes, it’s birthday card time here on my art table — there’s a Doctor Who one coming up next week, too. In this case I drew Sherlock in his infamous purple shirt, John in his cute oatmeal sweater, and John’s elbow not quite making it into Sherlock’s ribs to shut him up. I can just feel John gritting his teeth as he tries to cover for Sherlock’s faux pas (again).
Sherlock Birthday, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold), but you can buy a birthday card on Etsy.

Oin Birthday
Thursday, March 21st, 2013
“Don’t get your beard in a twist.
It’s just another birthday.”
Oin Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
There’s something really fun about drawing parody dwarves, especially knowing there’s 13 of them to draw. Oin, brother of Gloin, is a rather old and cranky dwarf and a bit hard of hearing. He’s got a couple of hundred years on you and is therefore completely unimpressed with your angst about that big birthday milestone.
I made this for sort of an anti-over-the-hill card, because sometimes I get tired of hearing people worrying about turning 30, 40, 50, or whatever. Also, grumpy dwarf. Okay, mostly for the grumpy dwarf.
Oin Birthday, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold), but you can get him on a card in my Etsy shop.
