Sherlock Hardcase
Wednesday, January 16th, 2013
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.

Rules Gremlin
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
I’m afraid this Tuesday is tentacle-free, which is probably against one of the many rules on this Gremlin’s parchment. He’s another commission for Jo VanEvery to use in her work — she’s promised to post about him and yesterday’s cartoon soon, so keep an eye out! I found the first sketch for this in my photos recently (I take iPhone photos to show a client their sketches rather than scanning them, to save a bit of time), and I was amused to remember that he’d originally been tall and skinny. We both liked his scroll so much that I kept the overall height, and instead added some books to stand on and made him wide and squat instead.

The Spectre of Professionalism
Monday, January 14th, 2013
Once again Jo VanEvery has commissioned an awesome cartoon to use in her work. She consults academics about academic career sorts of things, and one of the issues that often comes up is the spectre of professionalism. He’s modeled a bit after Marley from A Christmas Carol since I was watching the Muppet version when I did his sketch, which gives him a delightful sort of gloom that goes well with the snippet of academic-speak, overflowing inbox, monogrammed briefcase and perfectly boring suit and tie. His humorless expression tops off the chains of expectation perfectly.
Here’s hoping your Monday isn’t quite so burdened, and that you have plenty of caffeine regardless.

Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4
Saturday, January 12th, 2013
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
Friday, January 11th, 2013
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.

Second Breakfast
Saturday, January 5th, 2013
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.

Only in a Potion
Thursday, January 3rd, 2013
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.
