Storm
Monday, February 18th, 2013
“I hope the Dwarves find some shelter before those Stone Giants really get going.”
Storm, The Hobbit fan art by Amy Crook
My tiny fandom obsession continues! The mountains dried with lovely blue-violet swirls in their depths, and now there’s Gandalf, contemplating the oncoming storm as he starts to head into the Misty Mountains after Thorin et al. He’s done all in shades of grey as is appropriate, with Glamdring at his side and his staff in hand. Plus the pointy hat, of course.

Above, you can see a close-up of Gandalf with the colors tweaked to help bring out his eyes, er, details. Below, you can see it snugly resting in an 8″x8″ frame, waiting to find a new home.

Dresden Bookmark 2
Saturday, February 16th, 2013
Harry Dresden bookmark
by Amy Crook
After I posted the other Dresden bookmark I’d done as a gift for a friend, one of my regular patrons gave me puppy eyes asking to do one for her, too. I’m working my way up to another Bookmark Week, so I drew this up for her the other day. It’s already sold, but the ones I post in a few weeks will be available to those without puppy-eye privileges.
If you want to be first on the list to see which ones are coming out, you can join my mailing list here.

Dresden Files bookmark, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see a close-up of Dresden’s sheepish little face, like, “Oh hey didn’t see you there.” Below, you can see him hanging out with my copy of Cold Days.

Hedgehog & Otter Adventures
Saturday, February 9th, 2013
Floating Along, dorky fan art by Amy Crook
If you’re on Tumblr or in my brain you’ll understand completely when I say this is actually Harry Potter/Sherlock crossover fan art with Animagus forms.
If you’re not, then look at the adorable otter and hedgehog. They’re floating! They’re friends!
There is, of course, the nap after to be considered as well. Those involved in the aforementioned fannish telepathy will know exactly which scarf is whose and why.

Halloweentown Holmes
Saturday, January 19th, 2013
Halloweentown Holmes by Amy Crook
I saw someone posting about Sherlock and Mycroft being originally from Halloweentown in the Nightmare Before Christmas universe, with an older, skeletal brother Sherrinford. I couldn’t resist drawing it up with just a bit of my own silly style added in!
Sherlock’s even dead. Well, undead. Well, you know, Halloweentown. I just couldn’t resist the urge to draw them, given how much my cartooning style owes to Jack Skellington. Sherrinford’s even got a bat for his cravat.

Sherlock Hardcase

Sherlock Gelaskin iPhone Hardcase, art by Amy Crook
As much as I adore my beloved Gelaskin stickers, my iPhone has been dropped enough times that I really needed a bit more protection. Gelaskin has again come to the rescue with my lovely custom hardcase, featuring my drawing of Sherlock in all his glorious ennui. There’s even a secret hedgehog.

Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4
Saturday, January 12th, 2013
4 Sherlock bookmarks by Amy Crook
The lovely person that bought this John Watson bookmark wanted a whole set of the four lads from the show, and here’s the results! I fortunately have a bunch of these identical paper scraps from cutting down the paper for the alphabet, so it was easy to do four that matched. John and Lestrade are on cool grey backgrounds with warm grey skin, and the Holmeses are all warm greys except for their clothing. Everyone got a bit of personality to them, John in his stripey jumper with the skull art from the show, Sherlock with his violin, Lestrade with his phone at a crime scene and Mycroft with his brolly and wallpaper.

Bilbo Bookmark 1

Bilbo Bookmark 1 by Amy Crook
One of my giftees this year lives all the way down in New Zealand, so she just recently got her holiday goodies. With her location and her love of the film, I of course had to make her a hobbity sort of bookmark. Bilbo is less than thrilled about this contract they’ve given him to sign, especially the extra bit detailing all the things that could go wrong that the dwarves aren’t liable for.
