Inktober 2016, Week 2
Monday, October 17th, 2016
Inktober continues apace! It’s a busy week, so there’s some easy stuff and some more complex ink art. Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a bookmark sale for my email list next month, and some of them are already spoken for. There’s even a couple of things destined for November’s Floating Gallery. Quite a variety!

September Patreon Sketches

Pumpkin Spice Patreon, two bookmarks by Amy Crook
Two of my darling patrons this month asked me for Pumpkin Spice, so they both got some cheerful Autumnal sparkle. I also had a request for sleeping late at any cost, and on of the kitties kindly posed for this little ink sketch in lovely, sparkly Stormy Grey.

Birthday Poddles

Birthday Poddles, 5″x7″ pen & ink on paper
Putting a bow on a sleek black cat might seem like a good idea, at least until you find out how the cat feels about it. This big-eared beauty is modeled after my own black cat, Pod, but has beautiful crosshatching in place of fur, giving it some gorgeous graphical detail to go with the bad attitude.
This intricate drawing is perfect for someone with a great sense of humor and a special love of cats — even the ones with murder in their eyes.
Who’s your favorite cat person?
Birthday Poddles, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the intricate detail in Pod’s unimpressed face, the crosshatching and hand-texturing of his big ears and beautiful bow. Below, Podzilla is contained in a frame, ready to bring sarcasm to some lucky recipient.

Slyboots
Tuesday, June 28th, 2016
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

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
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016
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.
