Christmas Cupboard, Harry Potter fan art by Amy Crook

Christmas Cupboard, Harry Potter fan art by Amy Crook

When I was doing holiday card art this year, I had to do one for Harry Potter, too. He’s got a rather tentacular Christmas tree, but he’s never let things being a bit spooky stop him from enjoying his holidays.

Just remember, the cupboard under the stairs is only for hiding Christmas presents, not little boys.

Christmas Cupboard, 2 – 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper.

I’m happy to write something on the blank space of the cupboard image if you’d like, or you can keep them as is in their frame for a very Potter sort of Christmas.

Shut Up and Help for the Holidays, Sherlock BBC fan art by Amy Crook

Shut Up and Help for the Holidays,
Sherlock BBC fan art by Amy Crook

I decided I wanted a second Sherlock holiday card this year, and I decided it had to have Sherlock being his usual annoying self. I spared John any truly awful Christmas sweaters, but made him carry all the boxes.

Shut Up and Help for the Holidays, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, nfs (sold).

The eleventh Doctor is very proud of his new headgear. Let’s hope this one survives more than five minutes before getting destroyed.

You can still get him on a holiday card at my Etsy shop.

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2, by Amy Crook

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2, by Amy Crook

Pardon the terrible photography, I’ll try to take a better one when the sun’s back up. I finally managed to assemble my second set of old-fashioned paper ornaments, this one with slightly different art. I kept the star but hung it at a different angle, and then made Cthulhu himself and an Elder Sign (Lovecraft style) to go with it.

These ornaments are a huge pain to make, but it’s almost fun in that way where it appeals to my meticulous nature, so I might make a few extra sets next year. We’ll see!

Old-Fashioned Christmas Ornaments by Amy Crook

Old-Fashioned Christmas Ornaments by Amy Crook

I participated in a handmade ornament exchange this year, and I decided to play to my strengths and make paper ornaments. I drew the original art myself, then printed it out both normally and flipped onto card stock so I could use spray-glue to make these double-sided ornaments. They were cut and hole-punched by hand, a ribbon added, and sent off to my exchange partner. I thought about coloring them somehow, but I liked the old-fashioned etching feel of the black-and-white on parchment-textured card stock, so I left them as is.
