Osculate! Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Osculate! Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

I meant to finish and post this last week after the Floating Gallery closed, by my body had other ideas. I’ve had a horrible head cold, and slept through most of the week. I’m only just recovering, so please do forgive the lateness of this Dalek.

He’s giving up his usual cry of “exterminate” in favor of some holiday spirit! Osculate means “kiss,” so he’s just demanding you give him his due and kiss a Dalek under the mistletoe. I’m sure it won’t kill you.

Well, mostly sure.

Osculate! 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper. Get him on a holiday card at my Etsy shop!

Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice, parody comic by Amy Crook

Beetlejuice, parody comic by Amy Crook

Say it once, say it twice, third time’s the charm… Iiiiiit’s showtime!

It’s the season for cheerful Halloween movies (okay, every season is the season, but hush), and I decided to render the Ghost with the Most in my signature “fancy stick figure” style.

I haven’t decided yet if he’d be fun on a card, but he’ll be showing up on Tuesday in October’s awesome Halloween Floating Gallery.

 

Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!!!

Dammit, that trick never works.

A Hobbity Birthday

Hobbit Birthday Traditions, parody art by Amy Crook

Hobbit Birthday Traditions, parody art by Amy Crook

Happy my-upcoming-Birthday to you! On Sunday I’ll be properly 40, and in grand hobbit tradition I have some little gifts for you.

  • If you get a set of Sherlock or Doctor Who bookmarks in September, you’ll get an extra bonus bookmark. Just don’t blink.
  • You can use this coupon code all through September to get 20% off anything in my Etsy shop: WHATDAYISIT
  • My novel will be free on Kindle from Sept. 20-22, approximately midnight to midnight Pacific, though their servers are sometimes a bit slow to update.
  • I’ll be offering something special to my Art Patron’s list as well, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Bilbo is of course available on a card, being his grumpy old self. I really enjoy antisocial old Bilbo Baggins and his dismissal of everyone else’s gossip about him. Though he still knows how to throw a party!

Scotty Gets Minions

Scotty Gets Minions, mashup fan art by Amy Crook

It’s another Minion mashup! This time Keenser gets to enjoy not being the shortest guy in Engineering now that he’s found these useful little yellow guys to assist. Scotty isn’t so sure about this.

Scotty is probably right.

You can share his sentiment on a card from my Etsy shop, of course.

Mycroft’s Minions

Mycroft's Minions, parody art by Amy Crook

Mycroft’s Minions, parody art by Amy Crook

It’s more Minions! Am I the only one who sees these wee pill-shaped dudes and thinks of that old Naprosyn slogan, “Little. Yellow. Different.”?

After pondering the idea of crossing Despicable Me over with some of my favorite fandoms, I couldn’t resist the idea of Mycroft having actual Minions with his own little M logo on their overalls and everything. And then, when trying to figure out a scenario that would be fun to draw, I couldn’t help but imagine Mycroft in my favorite scene from the first movie, down on one knee smooching the Minions goodnight one by one.

This is another one of those ideas that had to be a card, but isn’t really for any occasion specifically, just to put a smile on someone’s face. Unless you know someone who’s actually got Minions, in which case it’s kind of a sympathy card.

Banana?

The TARDIS has Minions

The TARDIS has Minions, Doctor Who parody art by Amy Crook

“I hate it when the TARDIS gets minions.”
Doctor Who parody art by Amy Crook

I’ve been all about Despicable Me the past few weeks, as anyone who knows me in real life can attest, so I’m letting the Minions invade my art as well! I just really wanted to draw David Tennant’s crazy hair and particular posture as he surveyed the Minions infecting his poor TARDIS, so I gave the tenth Doctor a handful of Minions to deal with.

I’ve got a couple more of these planned, too, and some of the originals might be available in my first monthly shop opening. And I really need to think of a better name for that little 8-day window of new art. Mini-Shows? Pop-Up Gallery? It’s a work in progress.

I’m keeping up with my plan to post one new card to my Etsy shop a week, and while I’m not sure what occasion this is for, I can guarantee it’ll put a smile on the face of the right recipient.

What Do We Say?

What Do We Say? Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

What Do We Say? Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

And here’s the third of my trio of Sherlock thank you cards! I’ll sell them as a set of three once I have time to take some more photos, but for now just enjoy Sherlock’s pouty little face and John’s expression of wicked delight to get one over on him. It must be especially satisfying to be able to hold something up out of Sherlock’s reach for once, too.

What Do We Say?, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper.
