Instagram Valentine

“I’d Instagram you with no filter.”
Instagram Valentine watercolor by Amy Crook, $79
Despite their recent faux pas, I have to admit I really do enjoy the Instagram photo service. I made a Valentine for it this year, so I’m glad they backpedaled and agreed to make the language a little less awful in their new TOS. The image I painted is of a generic person icon, just a head and shoulders, done in warm terra cotta with a sepia background, on a distressed “photo.”

Sharing Warmth, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook
I sent a Moo card with the main image on it to one of my Sherlock bookmark buyers, and she said she’d never seen it, and sure enough, I’d never posted it. Oops! It’s nicely seasonal now, anyway, with Jack Frost nipping at all sorts of things all over the hemisphere. I really think Sherlock makes it, though, forever interrupting with his own importance.
Sharing Warmth, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper.

Christmas Cupboard

Christmas Cupboard, Harry Potter fan art by Amy Crook
When I was doing holiday card art this year, I had to do one for Harry Potter, too. He’s got a rather tentacular Christmas tree, but he’s never let things being a bit spooky stop him from enjoying his holidays.
Just remember, the cupboard under the stairs is only for hiding Christmas presents, not little boys.
Christmas Cupboard, 2 – 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper.
I’m happy to write something on the blank space of the cupboard image if you’d like, or you can keep them as is in their frame for a very Potter sort of Christmas.

John Watson Bookmark 1
by Amy Crook
And here we come to the very end of Bookmark Week with John Watson. He’s leaning against a cool grey wall, and he’s been colored all in warm and cool greys himself, even his face and hair, just like Lestrade yesterday. The skull is grinning white from above, though I admit I didn’t get too enthusiastic and do the wallpaper properly.
If you did want a bookmark of your own, you can check out the ones that are still available here. They make great stocking stuffers!

Above, you can see John leaning shyly against the wall, hoping you’ll like him. Below, he’s hanging out with a book, like bookmarks do.

Lestrade Bookmark 1
by Amy Crook
The week is nearly at an end, and here we come to our Saturday Morning Cartoon, which is also already spoken for. DI Lestrade’s just leaning against the wall, checking his texts while he waits for something interesting to happen. I colored this one entirely in shades of grey, just like Thinking in Grey but without all the background madness.

Above, you can see the wee bit of warm grey in with all the cool ones, shading Lestrade’s otherwise white face and hand. Below, I put him with a book, just because I could.

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 6 of 6

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 6 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
If there’s one thing in the world the Holmes brothers can agree on, it’s that John’s fashion sense is a sartorial crime. I couldn’t imagine doing these comics without John making at least an appearance, and it felt appropriate for his awful brown suit from The Great Game to be the source of a single moment of brotherly accord. And an excellent note on which to end the series!
If you’d like, you can read them all over again here. Or, get your very own prints here in the Sherlock section of my Etsy shop. My wonderful patron, Caroline, commissioned the originals, but she’s willing to share!

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 5 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
Sherlock has been looking for a new flat when we first see him in the show. Here we can see how he got himself kicked out of his flat on Montague Street in the first place. I’m not sure what that slime is creeping down the stairs, but I’m certain it counts as more than a minor disagreement. And those trousers are ruined.
These comics were commissioned by the wonderful Caroline, but you can get your very own prints here in the Sherlock section of my Etsy shop.
