Squid with Mittens

Squid with Mittens by Amy Crook
This happy little guy is just trying to keep warm. Someone knit him a lovely set of mittens for all his tentacles, and a matching hat. I decided that, since they don’t really have thumbs, squid mittens should just be called squittens. Also, it’s really fun to say.
You can get him or any of my other squid greeting cards at Etsy, or buy his original with the button above.

Weeble Wednesday: Zombie Jesus

Zombie Jesus by Amy Crook
A certain blonde chicken challenged me to make a cute zombie Jesus card for Christmas, and who am I to resist her?
He’s meant in the spirit of fun, so his card says, “Eat of my flesh and I’ll snack on your brains,” inside.
You can pick up any of my greeting cards at Etsy, or take home his original art below.

Whispering Gremlin for Jo VanEvery

Whispering Gremlin by Amy Crook,
commission for Jo VanEvery
all rights reserved
When Jo VanEvery came to me asking if I would help create an illustration for her presentation in November, I was excited to draw something new. We went back and forth on just what a gremlin looked like, and we ended up with this little green guy whispering wicked self-doubt into the ear of his human.
This naughty boy likes to undermine his human’s confidence and sow the seeds of indecision, especially in grad students.
Since this is a commissioned piece, all rights are reserved, and it may not be reposted or reused anywhere, except by Jo, of course. Thanks!

Weeble Wednesday: Zombie

Weeble Zombie by Amy Crook
This morbid fellow is another one of the bonus zombies from my Cthulhu coloring book. I originally had drawn a bunch of these guys for another purpose, but somehow they never got finished until I needed them for the coloring book. Still, I do love the details on this one, from his missing arm to the skull logo on his shoe.

Weeble Wednesday: Obligatory Cultist
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Cultist by Amy Crook
After doing all those other Lovecraftian monsters, I decided that one thing my coloring book needed was a proper hooded-robed cultist to worship them. He’s wearing the Elder Sign as sketched by Lovecraft (rather than the more star-like version used in Arkham Horror), and chanting in some sanity-rending ancient tongue in his attempts to summon Cthulhu, or one of the other Great Old Ones. Or maybe just a Shoggoth, who knows.
You can find him and a bunch of the monsters he’s trying to summon in my Cthulhu Coloring Book on Etsy, which you can buy either as a pdf or a printed book.

Zombie: Wait Up!

Zombie: Wait Up! by Amy Crook
This cheerful guy is one of the bonus zombies in my Cthulhu Coloring Book — I think he’s a little stuck and wants his zombie pals to wait up while he finishes struggling his way up out of the grave in search for delicious, tasty brains.
I’ve colored him here with a ghoulish green, though I think he’d do just fine in deathly grey or a rotting pink, as well. One nice thing about this one was that the style was so loose and scribbly, it was easy to color without worrying too much about staying inside the lines.

Weeble Wednesday: Cthulhu has a Coloring Book!
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010
Cthulhu Coloring Book by Amy Crook
Encouraged by the success of my Lovecraft-themed greeting cards on Etsy, I decided to up the ante this season and make a whole coloring book! There’s a few weebles you’ve already seen, and a bunch you haven’t — I even did a whole new Cthulhu for the cover (plus he’s on page 1 for your coloring pleasure).
There’s a whole bunch of adorably creepy creatures from the stories of HP Lovecraft and the other authors who’ve played in his Mythos over the years, plus a small mob of bonus Zombies.
You can get the Cthulhu Coloring Book on Etsy, either as a pdf or a printed book.
