Ariadne & Yusuf, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Someone asked me to make a bookmark set out of the Arthur and Eames art from Inception, and so I bring you two more of the fascinating secondary characters. Ariadne is the architect who builds worlds and mazes for their dreams, and Yusuf is the chemist who finds ways to put them under and still get their kick in the end.

Don’t be afraid dream a little bigger, darling.

Librocubicularist: one who reads in bed,
5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I had a lot of choices for who to draw here, but in the end Hermione seemed like the perfect embodiment of this hard-to-pronounce* word.
Besides, it gave me a chance to draw an unflattering cat selfie of Crookshanks, which is a joy not to be underestimated.
Are you a librocubicularist? I am, every night without fail!
*Seriously, so hard to pronounce.

Arthur and Eames bookmarks

Eames & Arthur bookmarks, Inception parody art
I actually drew these ages ago for a commission, with grumpy Arthur glaring at a smirking Eames, but due to a hiccup with my scanner and some subsequent fighting with Photoshop, I didn’t get around to posting them.
Eames’ shirt has a lovely pattern in the orange, and his coat suggests a hint of tweed. Arthur’s wearing an elegant windowpane check, subtly patterned tie in a complementary grey, and a cream shirt that sets off his scowl.

Selcouth

Selcouth: unfamiliar, unusual; strange, marvelous, wonderful,
7″x5″ pen & ink on paper – $70
This was the word art for May the Fourth, aka Star Wars day! Selcouth seemed to perfectly fit the fantastical world that was at once strange, marvelous, and wonderful, and of course BB-8 wanted to guest star as the perfect avatar of all of the above.
Come join me tomorrow on Periscope (starts around 2-3pm Pacific) and see what new word gets brought to life!

Tea: Molly Hooper

Tea: Molly Hooper, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This last piece in the Tea Series features the adorkable Molly Hooper, the pathologist from whose morgue Sherlock keeps borrowing all manner of unpleasant items. She’s got a soothing cup of Darjeeling, probably to help her nerves after one of Sherlock’s visits.

Discombobulate

Discombobulate: to confuse or disconcert,
5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper – $70
I couldn’t resist the idea of Bond totally confusing his Quartermaster with intact, fully functioning equipment. Gun not fed to a komodo dragon. Earpiece not dropped into a glass of champagne. Unexploded pen!
So confusing.

Tea: Lestrade

Tea: Lestrade, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This third piece in the Tea Series features DI Lestrade from the BBC Sherlock series. The put-upon detective inspector needs a strong, bracing cup of Assam to help him keep up with Sherlock’s antics.
