  • Amy B asked for a skrungle and she has received. (sold)
  • JoVE asked for “dawn chorus” and gets some little brown birds at dawn in rather abstracted trees.

June 2025 Patreon Sketches

Sunday, June 29th, 2025

You may have noticed that May is conspicuously absent, and that’s because I did the wrong month’s prompts, whoops. May’s will be next month, promise!

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Eric asked for Han, Lando, and/or Hondo, and Hondo Ohnaka won the impromptu housemate poll so here he is. (sold)
  • Jeff prompted “purple prank” and got a purple-ized version of my favorite internet joke. He’s no stranger to love, you guys. (sold)
  • Amy B asked for some kind of critter and fortunately or unfortunately, this little cookie thief is what happened.
  • Shannon asked for a yelling Stellar’s Jay, and I’m pretty happy with how this little guy turned out. I considered filling up the space with swear words, which is what I assume they yell, but decided against it.
  • Rebecca S prompted “Magic,” and I decided to do some tea serving itself. You know, magically.
  • Kelly asked for some wildflowers, and got this assortment of random purple blooms. And a bee butt, just because.
  • It’s SaraBeth’s birthday this month, and she asked for something fun! And, uh, well. I had fun. The cat, not so much. (sold)
  • Jo suggested camping in the rain, and I decided I wanted the dreary storm outside and a warm glow coming from inside the tent.

For the record, if you were to follow my Patreon (there’s a free option!), you’d also get a cat pic with this post.
