May 2024 Sketch Cards
Monday, July 1st, 2024
Another month, another set of sketches for my darling patrons!
Nine this time, though 3 of them were done for whimsy rather than requests.
- Jefferson asked for a BAGELPOCALYPSE (sold)
- Nick wanted something from Dead Boy Detectives (great show!)
- Kelly asked for Bagpuss which I had never heard of! (sold)
- I did another little galaxy for no real reason (sold)
- Nope kitty is Posca marker practice
- This weird sun/moon thing is badly inspired by Shayla Maddox’s wonderful work
- Amy B wanted a squid (sold)
- SaraBeth said, “Pollen is evil but flowers are beautiful.” (sold)
- Rebecca S asked for a sea monster

June 2023 Patreon Sketches
Thursday, February 29th, 2024
More sketches, complete with vintage text from the original Patreon post, lol.
I have triumphed over my dysfunctional executives and done this month’s sketch cards, huzzah!
- Jefferson asked for “Shoggoth Pocky” and watch out, it bites back. (sold)
- Nick asked for “mlm (but also wlw)” and I punned at him, a Wooloo sporting mlm colors, because we pronounce these acronyms “mlem” and “wooloo” in our household.
- Andria asked for dark purple ranunculus and I experimented with some fun texture stuff that you totally can’t see here! But it looks great lol. (sold)
- Amy B wanted an axolotl, and despite my inability to spell it on the first try, I did a chibi version for her. (sold)

Deep in the Middle Twilight
Tuesday, April 5th, 2022
Deep in the Middle Twilight, 12″x6″ watercolor on paper
This fanciful painting is also a foot wide, but a mere six inches tall! Thick, textured watercolor gives us a deep ocean current on which floats a plethora sea life. Well, and a ghost.
The watery backdrop is a deep matte teal, while the sea life all sparkles and shines, much like the actual creatures that live in the Twilight Zone (not the tv show). The giant squid waves hello from off to the left, our little ghost meditates on the right, and both tropical fish and jellyfish dance through the rest of the space.
This art would be a fun addition to any room, a little spark of whimsy to brighten up any space.

Above, you can see our little green ghostie shining brightly from the strength of its own spirit. Below, I’ve badly stuck this in a temporary frame to show how big it is — a larger frame will do it better justice once you’ve got it home!

October 2021 Patreon Sketches
Tuesday, March 1st, 2022
ACEO sketch cards by Amy Crook
Patreon requests from October 2021, which got done in November, ie, after the 48-hour cardstravaganza. Requests always close the last day of the month, and get done before the end of the next month, in theory. We are returning to this pattern though!
From top left:
- Jeff asked for “kobold spooky chef”
- Eric wanted the Upside Down from Stranger Things
- and Rey asked for “remember” in relation to either the 5th of November or the 21st day of September, and since I couldn’t decide I did both. It’s sparkly!

Inktober 2019, part 3
Tuesday, November 12th, 2019
October continued to be Peak 2019, and the Floating Gallery happened before this, the final round-up of my successful Inktober. Thanks for all your patience and support!
Inktober 2019 day 23: Ancient, 5″x7″ ink wash on paper
Inktober 2019 day 24: Dizzy, 2.5″x3.5″ pen & ink on ACEO
Inktober 2019 day 25: Tasty, 2.5″x3.5″ pen & ink on ACEO, wip, nfs
Inktober 2019 day 26: Dark (aka “the yawning void”), 2.5″x3.5″ pen & ink on ACEO
Inktober 2019 day 27: Coat, 3.5″x2.5″ pen & ink on ACEO, wip, nfs
Inktober 2019 day 28: Ride, 3.5″x2.5″ brush & ink on ACEO, nfs
Inktober 2019 day 29: Injured, 2.5″x3.5″ ink wash on ACEO
Inktober 2019 day 30: Catch, 2.5″x3.5″ pen & ink and ink wash on ACEO
Inktober 2019 day 31: Ripe, 3.5″x2.5″ pen & ink on ACEO, wip
Abbreviation decoder ring!
- wip = work in progress, ie, I’m probably going to color some or all of the drawing before it’s really done
- nfs = not for sale, ie, it’s a Patreon sketch and already belongs to someone else
- ACEO = Artist Card, Edition Original, also known as ATC or Artist Trading Card when traded rather than sold, which is a standard size I use for all my Patreon sketches these days
Want to get your own sketches, dibs on art, or just feel the warm glow of being part of my community of supporters? Head over to Patreon and pick a tier to get started! There’s also bonus cat photos sometimes, if that helps.
