Slyboots, word art by Amy Crook

Slyboots: an engagingly sly or mischievous person,
7″x5″ brush pen & ink on paper

Slyboots is one of those words that just needed a cat. I also have several fandom ideas for it, so we might see it again at another point in the year — maybe November can be a Greatest Hits month where I do different versions of words I’ve already done while the rest of my brain is busy with NaNoWriMo.

Do you have a slyboots in your life?

Ninja Pets, a quick comic by Amy Crook

Ninja Pets, 7″x5″ pen & ink on paper

Does your cat do this? I will be working away (or goofing off mightily) and suddenly find that there is a cat in my lap and I’m petting it. Belladonna’s sneakier than Pod most of the time, but they both do it. My question is always, wait, when did this happen?

Fettered

Fettered, word art by Amy Crook

Fettered: chained; shackled; confined; restrained,
5″x7″ pen & ink on paper – $45

One of my Patreon patrons requested this word for their sketch last month, so we’re taking a quick break from May’s gallery to show the last of April’s word art.

This illustration involves some naughty kitties — or one rather distressed one, and one very smug one, rather. Anyone who knows my cats knows who is meant to be who here, despite their lack of markings.*

*Pod deserves it, the fuzzy little jerkface.

Torporific

Torporific, word art by Amy Crook

Torporific: tending to cause numbness or inactivity
5″x7″ pen & ink on paper – $45

It’s definitely a house rule among cat owners that you can’t be expected to do any sort of responsible adulting if you’ve got a cat in your lap. They have their very own special gravity that causes inactivity among their chosen humans/bedwarmers.

I drew this live on Persicope; come join me some Wednesday around 2-3pm Pacific. Next week I’ll be doing a Patreon patron’s requested word!

March Patreon Art

4 bookmarks by Amy Crook, 1.5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on comic backing board

My wonderful backers on Patreon this month gave me some great prompts, and so we have a dragon, a cat, some spring flowers, and Rory from Gilmore Girls. I was apparently feeling the purple, though to be fair I knew the dragon person liked purple, and I’ve always associated spring with lilacs.

If you’d like to see me sketch to your specs next month, become a patron yourself!

Conversation Arts week 2

Conversation Heart art prompts

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

Conversation Arts 8: True Love – sold

Castiel + Dean = a complete inability to communicate like adults. But also love.

If you’ve ever played Settlers of Catan, you have heard this joke before.

One of my Patreon patrons asked for February rain for her sketch, and I ended up with this sweet bit of sadness.

Sleep deprivation + Periscope encouragement = bee puns.

“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.”

Conversation Arts week 1

Monday, February 8th, 2016

Conversation Heart art prompts

After recovering from the foolishness of doing a daily sketch project and NaNoWriMo in a single month (my advice: don’t do that), I felt ready to tackle the month of love and sarcasm! I bought a bag of large conversation hearts, and have been choosing (and eating) one out of the bag every day. The whims of fate and candy have brought you these seven sketches.

Conversation Arts 1: Cutie Pie

Ron & Hermione, he’s smug and she’s not so sure about this soulmates thing.

Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me

Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me – $25

Who could say no to a proposal like that?
