How about a little cuttle? Cuttlefish, that is. This punny cephalopod has heart eyes just for you!

Give the Valentine to someone you adore, or simply can’t wait to get your tentacles around.

Cuppa Cheer

Cuppa Cheer by Amy Crook

Cuppa Cheer, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper

If you’re on my (admittedly tiny) holiday card list, you’ve already seen this art! I haven’t yet put the gold paint on this image for scanning reasons, but I’d be happy to gild the cup’s golden edges for you if you want some extra sparkle for your home.

This painting would add some cheer to any Christmas-celebrating home. Put it in a frame and pull it out at the holidays every year to celebrate both the season and the value of a good cuppa tea.

What kind of tea do you like best?

Above, you can see the holly decorating the teabag tag on this cheerful cuppa. Below, it’s sitting in a plain frame, though one could easily find a beautiful holiday holder for future display.

Tree Trimming

Tree Trimming, a Cthulhu comic by Amy Crook

Tree Trimming, a Cthulhu comic by Amy Crook

Cthulhu is getting into the holiday spirit a little early this year! He’s trimming his tree with his favorite decoration, cultists. Even the tree is enjoying its little holiday snack, er, decor.

The greeting card will bring just the right holiday cheer to the right person — a fan of horror, especially the Lovecraftian sort, with a good sense of humor.

Congratulations, Ellen

Congratulations, Ellen, a Spock commission by Amy Crook

Congratulations, Ellen, a Spock commission by Amy Crook

I finished this commission this month for someone who wanted NuTrek Spock as a congratulations gift for a friend. This is what she had to say about it in her review:

When my friend passed the CPA exam I knew the occasion called for something special. Since one of the things we’ve bonded over was our mutual love of sci-fi movies a commissioned piece from Amy seemed like the way to go. First off, Amy is an absolute delight to work with. She responded to all of my emails quickly and was enthusiastic to collaborate. She let me know what was happening every step of the way from idea, to sketch, to color. The end result of her creativity was, as always, a quality product. I couldn’t be happier with my commission and I will definitely be buying from her again! Thanks, Amy!

-Rebecca

If you’d like to commission a comic as a gift (or for yourself!), you can get the details here.

New Arrival to Middle Earth

New Arrival to Middle Earth by Amy Crook

New Arrival to Middle Earth by Amy Crook

It’s dangerous to make comments about hobbits in the presence of Jo … she might go and commission some art for you.

This adorable comic is for a couple having a baby, who have been self-described as two dwarves who wish they were a hobbit and an elf. Thus, we have a dwarf-decorated crib with a hobbity dwarf on one side, and an elfin dwarf on the other.

Murder for Christmas

Murder for Christmas, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook

Murder for Christmas, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook

I’d worry for the day someone actually tries to give Sherlock a murder for Christmas (as does John), but Lestrade can only be happy that he’s jumping for joy instead of refusing to help.

If you’ve got a friend who’d appreciate a little murder for their holidays, send them a card from my Etsy shop.

The holidays are still far off for most of us, but it’s the time of year when creators have to think about what’s coming up. The Doctor, of course, is always very busy at Christmastime!
