Halloweentown Holmes

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

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.

Portal Valentine

Portal parody Valentine by Amy Crook
For Sunday, rather than a sketch I’ve got my last Valentine, which has no original art at all. I created the heart-shaped “portals” in Illustrator and the put the card together on the computer, so the card is the only way to express your geeky love to your other half.

Second Breakfast

Second Breafkast, Hobbit parody art by Amy Crook
Bilbo’s got a whole second breakfast set out, with bread and cheese, apples and tea and of course a nice hot plate of eggs, sausages and fried tomatoes. But he wants you to know that he loves you just as much as the meal!
This warm, cheerful card will help show your love for the Tolkien geek in your life, or just someone who appreciates a good second breakfast as much as any hobbit.
Second Breakfast, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, original nfs (sold).

Only in a Potion

Only in a Potion, parody Harry Potter art by Amy Crook, $59
Snape is deeply unimpressed by your devotion. “The only way I’d want your heart is for apotion,” he declares on this whimsically morbid little unValentine card. If you’ve got someone you’d like to stop loving you quite so much, or just know someone who loves Snape and would get a giggle out of the sentiment, this is the card for you!
You can even get the original art to have Snape glaring down at you in all his cranky glory.
Only in a Potion, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, original $59 with free shipping.
