December 2023 Patreon Sketches
Thursday, March 21st, 2024
And two sets of bonus cards, some trees and some more space, because I needed more extras for patron goodie packets.
I didn’t like the layout of horizontal to vertical cards in the photo so I solved it by drawing 3 bonus cards. I dunno, man, it made sense at the time.
From top left:
- Eric asked for bubble tea with plum jellies and got a cheerful boba cup. (sold)
- Carrots! bonus carrots.
- Rey asked for Decemberween! and well, yeah. This was inevitable. (sold)
- Kelly asked for “bridge to the stars or bridge of dreams” and got something a little more eldritch than possibly expected. But it’s sparkly! (sold)
- Bonus potato! Or half of one, anyway. Look, I made curry this week, veg are on my mind.
- Amy B wanted a hedgehog and I have delivered. (sold)
- Jefferson wanted hot soup, and gets brains. He knows why. (sold)
- Rebecca S asked for a castle and gets this vaguely ominous fortress.
- Rhonda prompted “bee/hive” and so I did two different bee cards, because reasons. There is a whole fat fuzzy bee on the black card, but phone photos can only do so much.
And below, the bonus Space and Tree cards!

November 2023 Patreon Sketches
Monday, March 18th, 2024
We’re catching up! Since patron sketches get done the month after requests, December’s the last of this batch (though January will be ready before these are all posted, lol).
As requested! 😻 There’s two sets, watercolor & ink/marker, so please enjoy both.
- Jo asked for “something banishing winter gloom with light”
- Jeff asked for “time shift” and this winter winds blowing the autumn away is the second try (sold)
- Rebecca W asked for “giant Lapis tiny Lenin” since it often looks that way in pics
- Rebecca S asked for honeybees! (sold)
- This was the first try at “time shift” for Jeff, but somehow the ‘Murica overwhelmed the Doppler reference.
- Next comes my wee monster Andy and “ew mouthpets!” for SaraBeth (sold)
- Eric wanted “Loth cat Ezra” and got Ezra as a Loth cat, because why not? (sold)
- Corinne asked, “Is Mikey CAKE?”
- And finally, Amy B asked for a Christmas vampire and got this charming, trustworthy fellow (sold)

Bees 4
Wednesday, April 4th, 2018
Bees 4, 6″x4″ watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
This fat, fuzzy bumblebee is just waiting to bring some sparkly spring into your life!
She’s chilling in this honey-gold world, dusted with glittering pollen and waiting to go out and gather for her queen and hive. She’s covered in fluff that’s perfect for getting the most pollen possible, so make sure to provide plenty of flowers known to help feed the bees.
What season gets you abuzz with joy?

Above, you can see the background brightened up by sunshine and the sparkling bronzite mineral paint. Below, the bee is in a little frame, waiting to find the perfect flower to make its home.

Conversation Arts week 2
Monday, February 15th, 2016
Another week, another set of candy hearts! I’ve eaten every one of these after finishing the sketch, and let me tell you, blue is not good. But it means the weird repeats are all natural, as it were! The whims of fate and candy have brought seven more sketches.
Conversation Arts 8: True Love – sold
Castiel + Dean = a complete inability to communicate like adults. But also love.
Conversation Arts 9: 🙂 – $10
If you’ve ever played Settlers of Catan, you have heard this joke before.
Conversation Arts 10: True Love 2 – $25
I admit it, I am addicted to Neko Atsume. Peaches really loves the sakuramochi cushion, when she can get her paws on it.
Conversation Arts 11: Melt My <3 – sold
One of my Patreon patrons asked for February rain for her sketch, and I ended up with this sweet bit of sadness.
Conversation Arts 12: Be Mine – $10
Sleep deprivation + Periscope encouragement = bee puns.
Conversation Arts 13: Let’s Kiss – $45
Apparently I really want to draw Q this month, so this time I matched him up with an orange tabby. Because kitten kisses are the best kisses.
Conversation Arts 14: Best Day 2 – $45
“Q, why did you want to come to the beach if you’re not going to swim?”
“I’ve got exactly what I want, James, don’t you worry.”

Cuppa Curiosity
Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
Cuppa Curiosity by Amy Crook
Continuing the series, I have another cheerful, illustrative cup of tea.
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back. This adorable little black cat cup has a tail for a handle, a pair of sugar mice for sweetness, and a friendly bee resting on his nose. His green eye and the golden bee both have a bit of metallic gold paint on them to add shine to this adorable illustration.
Cuppa Curiosity, 7″x5″ pen & ink, watercolor, and metallic watercolor on paper.

Above, you can see both the metallic highlights and painted white tooth and eye-shine that give this adorable kitty and bee extra life. Below, you can see the cuppa in a frame, waiting patiently to be put in a carrier and sent to its new home.
