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
Thursday, March 17th, 2016
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
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.”

Conversation Arts week 1
Monday, February 8th, 2016
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 – $10
Q + tech = qt3.14.
Conversation Arts 2: On Fleek – $25
This gorgeous kitty’s tail is on fleek.
Conversation Arts 3: Best Day – $25
Snacks, personal space, and something exploding? The Twelfth Doctor’s best day.
Conversation Arts 4: XOXO – $25
Lorelai Gilmore + coffee = OTP.
Conversation Arts 5: My Love – sold
Sherlock + skull = love beyond death. Or at least after.
Conversation Arts 6: Soul Mate – $10
Ron & Hermione, he’s smug and she’s not so sure about this soulmates thing.
Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me – $25
Who could say no to a proposal like that?

Cheshire Catnap

Cheshire Catnap by Amy Crook
Caturday is the perfect day to give yourself a catnap.
This fuzzy Cheshire Cat is just in it for the naps, much like every other cat I’ve ever met. His floof has floof, and one can only imagine the grin on him when he’s awake.
Where do you need a little bit of wonderland in your life? This kitty would be great in a bedroom or nursery, soothing someone to join him in sleep.
Purr.

Above, you can see this mystical kitty’s sleeping face, soft and bright blues giving its markings some mystery. Below, he’s tucked in a temporary frame, waiting for his forever home.

Cat Naps

Cat Naps by Amy Crook
Cats! Lazy, languid, liquid cats. I first explored this idea in a sketchy little bookmark, but of course with only room for three poses it wasn’t nearly enough.
I took inspiration from my own ridiculous pets, Belladonna and Pod, and of course the many cats on the internet.
I have trouble choosing a favorite — what’s yours?

Cuppa Curiosity

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.

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.
