Crow Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

Crow Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

My BFF’s birthday is in January, on the same day as JRR Tolkien’s, which always amuses us since mine’s the same day as Frodo & Bilbo Baggins. In addition to the gift he hasn’t gotten yet because I’m a slacker, I made him a bookmark all his own, with black ink crows flying against a blue marker sky.

Second Breafkast, Hobbit parody art by Amy Crook

Bilbo’s got a whole second breakfast set out, with bread and cheese, apples and tea and of course a nice hot plate of eggs, sausages and fried tomatoes. But he wants you to know that he loves you just as much as the meal!

This warm, cheerful card will help show your love for the Tolkien geek in your life, or just someone who appreciates a good second breakfast as much as any hobbit.

Squid Inked

Squid Inked cartoon by Amy Crook

Squid Inked cartoon by Amy Crook, $59

This wee little squid is a bit embarrassed by how very excited he or she gets when you’re around (even squid don’t always know which is which). There’s a silly heart-shaped inkblot on the front of the card, and this little squid decorates the inside with plenty of room for your sentiments and signature. This is a great card for someone you’ve got a crush on, or who still excites you after all these years!

Squid Inked, 5″x5″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, original $59 with free shipping (inkblot not included).

Only in a Potion

Only in a Potion, parody Harry Potter art by Amy Crook

Only in a Potion, parody Harry Potter art by Amy Crook, $59

Snape is deeply unimpressed by your devotion. “The only way I’d want your heart is for apotion,” he declares on this whimsically morbid little unValentine card. If you’ve got someone you’d like to stop loving you quite so much, or just know someone who loves Snape and would get a giggle out of the sentiment, this is the card for you!

You can even get the original art to have Snape glaring down at you in all his cranky glory.

Boring Without You

Bored Without You, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

Bored Without You, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

No one can do ennui quite like Sherlock, and today’s Valentine is no exception. Perfect for those apart from their beloveds, I even wrote a little poem to go with it:

“Blood spatter’s red,
Corpse lips are blue,
But murders are boring
When I’m without you.”

The wallpaper was drawn by hand on a light table, using a printout of the original pattern for reference, so each little scribbled motif is just a bit different from the rest. Sherlock’s got his stuffed hedgehog to keep him company, but it’s just not the same as having John there with him.

OKCthulhu

OKCthulhu parody by Amy Crook

OKCthulhu parody by Amy Crook

I was waffling about what to do for a Cthulhu Valentine this year when my friend Jeff suggested this particular parody idea. The result isn’t so much a Valentine as a wish for the recipient to find love without having to resort to Cthulhu. There’s references here to some of my favorite games, not to mention a certain popular dating site and a certain parody Tumblr.

And yes, Cthulhu is wearing a fedora.

Hello, Sexy!

Hello, Sexy! parody Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Hello, Sexy! parody Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Hello, Sexy – Happy New Year! It might seem a little early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day and ways to express your adoration, but trust me, it’ll sneak right up on you in six short weeks. To help alleviate that “how did it get to be February” panic, I’ve got a whole week of Valentine (and unValentine) designs for you, all of which are perfectly good at showing affection (or loathing, in Snape’s case) any other time of the year as well.

Doctor Who is kicking off the week, with the Eleventh Doctor in his bowtie and fez. As we all know from watching The Doctor’s Wife, his secret name for the TARDIS is “Sexy,” though you can offer the sentiment to the geek guy or girl of your choice.
