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.
Q + tech = qt3.14.
This gorgeous kitty’s tail is on fleek.
Snacks, personal space, and something exploding? The Twelfth Doctor’s best day.
Lorelai Gilmore + coffee = OTP.
Sherlock + skull = love beyond death. Or at least after.
Ron & Hermione, he’s smug and she’s not so sure about this soulmates thing.
Who could say no to a proposal like that?

January Patreon Sketches
Tuesday, January 26th, 2016
My wonderful supporters on Patreon get the option to request sketches at the $5 and $10 level (color!), and this month I got 4 requests.

Abandoned Book for Kim, who was feeling melancholy

Death Does Netflix & Chill, for Jeff, who wanted to see Death on holiday

Favorite Treats, for Blaine who wanted my favorite food (I cheated)

Exes and Ghosts, for Molly who asked for musical and got an earworm
PS – If you’ve been curious about my writing, the little G-rated “how they met” short Untrue Love is on sale this week — for free!
This story shows us Alex’s first case, when he was an insufferable little university student instead of an insufferable adult. He meets Agent Murielle Lapointe, with whom he’s still working years later in the novels, and they work together to catch a killer.

Cthulhu Pickup Lines
Thursday, January 21st, 2016
“You’re hotter than Cthugha…”
“Are you an Elder God? Because your looks are driving me insane…”
“Even with strange aeons, my love will never die…”
Perhaps Cthulhu is not cut out for pickup lines.
Buy the Valentine in my Etsy shop, and show someone you love them in the cheesiest, most tentacular way possible.

Morning Kiss
Tuesday, January 19th, 2016
A lovely patron asked me to do a number of commissions for her, and this one got moved to the top of the pile in order to make it available as a Valentine!
She wanted a sweet morning moment, of Bond is just his pj bottoms and Q in cute sleep shorts, with James bringing his Quartermaster his first cup of Earl Grey. And, of course, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Cutie pies.

Candles Make it More Romantic
Thursday, January 14th, 2016
When Sherlock finally decided to go all-out for John and put candles on the table, he really put candles on the table. He starts to say, “I might have gone a bit…” but John interrupts with, “Angelo was right, Candles do make the table more romantic.”
A wonderful card for a Valentine or year round to show how nice it is to be loved just as you are.

A Little Cuttle
Tuesday, January 12th, 2016
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
Monday, January 4th, 2016
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.
