Catty by Amy Crook

Catty by Amy Crook

This piece was once described as looking like she was wearing a black rubber catsuit, though as the bronze has aged the patina’s gotten some flecks of blue-green verdigris on it that adds an unusual texture. She’s another of my little bronze people series, so the figure is about the size of a child’s doll. I always liked the way the lines of her body combined the lush, heart-shaped derriere with long, slender limbs and a smooth, featureless face to be both sensual and faintly creepy.

The person who bought it was kind enough to send me a better photo than the ones I had, since I wanted to post the whole series and not just the ones I had left.

Catty, approx. 12″ long cast bronze, sold.

Weeble Wednesday: Me!

Amy Crook cartoon by Amy Crook

Amy Crook cartoon by Amy Crook

Last but not least of the six cartoons I did of a group of my friends, I bring you — me! I personally rather like being a weeble, it gives me lots of freedom to do things like make my hair even longer, and wear t-shirts I don’t actually own. I do, however, own the pyjama pants, and they are just as awesome as you think they are.

And no, I still won’t explain the bunny ears.

Weeble Wednesday: Delta

Weeble Delta by Amy Crook

Weeble Delta by Amy Crook

Yet another of my friends who I weeble-ified, Delta’s got a weakness for blank books like many of us but she actually fills hers with regular journaling. She loves snakes as well, hence the t-shirt (she’s not-so-secretly a Slytherin at heart).

If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Spelunking

Spelunking, joined view, by Amy Crook

Continuing the series of little bronze people, these two are taking a fairly standard position but using an alternate entry point. If I recall correctly, this is the figure that had a problem with the orifice in question closing up during casting. The shop tech was highly amused to watch me clamp her in a vice and drill her open with the big metal drill press. As a result the fit between them isn’t quite as close as some of the others, but it still works for them.

I’ve often considered continuing the series exploring other sexual paradigms, but the foundry I was using at the time has since closed. Perhaps one of these days my muse will demand I find a new way to create them. For now, there’s still one more couple and at least one more single figure to be posted before the series is done, and possibly more of the singles if I can dig up some good photos of the ones that were sold.

Weeble Wednesday: Isidore

Weeble Isidore by Amy Crook

Weeble Isidore by Amy Crook

Yet another of my buddies, Isidore is wearing her Hufflepuff colors in her weeble. I went for an argyle sweater and saddle shoes to spiff up her simple jeans, and of course had to add in a book on one of her favorite subjects, the British royal family.

If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Submission

Submission, front view, by Amy Crook

Submission, front view, by Amy Crook

This is another of my small bronze figures, and in her pose she’s small enough to fit heavily into one hand. The texture of her hair was created by painstakingly building up wax layer after layer in drips and drizzles, shielding her face from view while leaving the long line of her back bare. She kneels in a submissive pose with her hands held behind her, unbound.

Her patina has darkened with age and handling from a nutty brown to a deep mahogany, and her matte finish tends to swallow the light, adding an air of mystery.

Submission, approx. 3″w x 3″d x 4″h, not for sale.

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.
