Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella by Amy Crook
I know it’s a bit early for most people to be thinking about Valentines, but us handcrafters need extra time to get our swag together. I’m thinking of doing a line this year of “I love you like X loves Y” cards — some, like this one, of the dorky fangirl variety, and some of a more geeky bent.
Plus, the image of Mycroft smooching his DI under his favourite umbrella was one I just couldn’t resist.

Squidtini

Squidtini by Amy Crook
My friend, G, is a big fan of both gin and squid, so one night I drew up this little guy with her in mind. He’s even made friends with the olive, which he’s got clutched in his feeder tentacles, though the gin’s given him a bit of a blush on his fins and cheeks. This little squid is sloshed!

I think it would make a great invitation to a New Year’s dinner party, so I made cards for my Etsy shop.

Cthulhu’s Gift

Cthulhu’s Gift by Amy Crook
I’ve been working on holiday cards again this week, and Cthulhu really wants you to like his gift. I decided to make a rather generic gift for the original, and then I drew a page of holiday dingbats — including a delightfully gruesome spike bow of a sort I’ve actually bought and put on gifts myself (minus the blood).

The original is, of course, the first version, since this one exists courtesy of Photoshop, but I find I’m rather fond of his baubles. I want a tentacle glass ornament!
This is what he looks like in a frame, though the original won’t be framed unless the buyer requests it for an additional fee.

Squid in a Scarf

Squid in a Scarf by Amy Crook
It’s this year’s holiday card! I decided to do something extra silly, so not only is our little squid freezing, he comes in colors. You can see his feeder tentacles wrapped around all 8 arms as he shivers in his hat and scarf a bit anxiously. I decided on a chilly ocean blue for his main body color, which works well with all the color schemes I’ve tried so far, from Hogwarts houses to TARDIS blue and white.

Check out my Etsy Shop to get him as a card, print, or even buy the original.

Weeble April Winchell

Weeble April Winchell cartoon by Amy Crook
Sorry about the silence, I wasn’t feeling well at the end of last week. So, we’re starting the week with a Weeble!
April’s Army is an Etsy Street Team of fans of the site Regretsy.com. Every month, they take donations and open up the April’s Army Etsy shop with all manner of wacky crafts. This is my first contribution, the incomparable April Winchell (also known as Helen Killer on the site) done up in her most “whimsicle” finery and cartooned as a weeble.
I’m donating 5 cards and the original, because what says “I’m thinking of you” better than weeble fuckery?

Cousin Godiva

Cousin Godiva by Amy Crook
This idea came to me when I was walking to meet a friend, my (ridiculously) long hair blowing in the breeze. I’ve always been a bit fascinated by the idea of Lady Godiva, and of course Cousin It is a theme anyone with long brown hair will find in their life. The combination of Addams Family and legendary lady was irresistible to my cartooning fingers.
With all the cartoons I do, I’m getting to be an old hand at drawing and coloring hair, so Cousin It was pretty easy overall. It’s the first time I’ve tried to weeble-ify a horse, though!

Weeble Voldemort

Weeble Voldemort cartoon by Amy Crook
Yeah, I said his name. I’m not afraid of the Dark Lord, all things considered.
In honour of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, my friend Gretchen suggested I weeble Voldemort. This is an homage to a certain scene in the movie, but trust me, if you haven’t seen it, this won’t spoil it.
I even gave him a cute plushie Nagini to hang out by his feet with her patchwork spots.
