Weeble Wednesday: Ruby

Weeble Ruby by Amy Crook

Weeble Ruby by Amy Crook

Continuing with friends of mine, this week we have my friend Ruby. She secretly loves the color pink, so I used my markers to good effect, and show her playing with her favorite toy at the time, her Nintendo DS (she cheats on it with her iPhone now). It was fun doing drawings of my friends, because I could really load up on the props — she’s also got a rose (that goes with her username), and her special walking shoes.

If you like these, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Brown

Brown, detail, by Amy Crook

Brown, detail, by Amy Crook

This is another monoprint, a one-of-a-kind print created by painting directly onto a blank plate with thick water-based paints and then running through a printing press like an etching. You can see the places where the brush strokes stood up to the process in the black shadows, but the outer edges turned to a softer, more uniform texture as they went through the press.

See a face in the shapes? You’re supposed to. It’s my secret who it was based off, though.

Brown, 3″x3″ monoprint on 7″x10″ watercolor paper, $299 with free shipping.

This print is not currently framed, and would need to be matted or framed to be displayed.

Weeble Cthulhu

Weeble Cthulhu by Amy Crook

Weeble Cthulhu by Amy Crook

As promised, I’m reposting Weeble Cthulhu from earlier this year so he’s hiding in amongst my daily art for those seeking out my (so far rather small) series of Lovecraftian weebles. He’s got his pet Shoggoth with him with his bowl of cultist snacks and everything.

I made a greeting card out of him for Valentine’s Day that said, “Cthulhu wanted to give you a heart, but they were all too small and squishy.” They sold so well I took off the “Happy Valentine’s Day” and have left them up on the shop ever since.

Weeble Cthulhu, 4″x6″ pen and ink and Copic markers on a watercolor postcard.

All Tied Up

All Tied Up, assembled view, by Amy Crook

All Tied Up, assembled view, by Amy Crook

This is the third of my bronze people series, another female domination pose with very extreme bondage indeed this time. I sculpted the male figure as usual, and then wrapped the whole thing in waxed twine, which I then also used for the woman’s hair. I ended up fattening certain parts of his anatomy to match up with his newer, more buffed-up figure — the rope added a lot to his general size while keeping the contours of his shape.

Like the previous set, these two come apart and fit together like rather naughty toys. These two are much more straightforward in how they fit, and she can also do a somewhat awkward reverse cowgirl over his eager mouth.

Weeble Wednesday: The Innsmouth Look

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

The Innsmouth Look by Amy Crook

The Innsmouth Look by Amy Crook

It’s beginning to look a lot like Fishmen! I’ve decided to do a whole series of Weeble Mythos creatures, to go with Weeble Cthulhu with his Shoggoth — who apparently I posted as a wallpaper but never gave their own post, oops. Sunday, maybe!

Lovecraft’s classic story Shadows Over Innsmouth has inspired a lot of art, writing and video since, and this is my interpretation of the creepy Deep One who’s nearly through with his transformation. I’ve been thinking of putting him on a card or print (he’s currently trapped in a sketchbook so his original isn’t for sale), what do you think?

I’m thinking perhaps Father Dagon & Mother Hydra next, or perhaps Hastur.

Second and Seventh

Second and Seventh, detail, by Amy Crook

Second and Seventh, detail, by Amy Crook

This monoprint is another one in a series I did featuring the chakras, in this case showing a man reaching up for the Seventh chakra, enlightenment, while being held down by his very active Second chakra. He strives to rise above while his base physical being keeps him down to earth, so his goal seems to him to be out of reach, as if on another plane entirely. On the other hand, his connection to the ground is also very fuzzy, his feet lost in the fog as he puts all his energy toward his goal and none of it toward his real life.

There’s something compelling to me about the pull between physical and spiritual for many of us, and the disconnect that forms as a result.

Second and Seventh, 8″x11″ monoprint on watercolor paper.

Sugarbutt the Fairy

Sugarbutt the Fairy by Amy Crook

Sugarbutt the Fairy by Amy Crook

One of my shameful addictions is the Facebook game Fairyland. When I first started playing I named my Fairy “Sugarbutt” and after a few months I decided to draw up a portrait of him, complete with rosy cheeks and flower cap. I guess he lost his leafy clothing right before the portrait, oops?
