Cartoon: Linda Esposito, version 1

Linda Esposito, version 1, by Amy Crook
When the wonderful Linda Esposito of Talk Therapy Biz took me up on getting herself turned into a cartoon, I’m pretty sure she didn’t expect to get two! The one she asked for was the one above, something in greens and browns with a professional feel to it to complement her site. When I was actually doing her sketch, I couldn’t find her email at first with the pose request, so I doodled up an entirely different cartoon of her (I’ll post that one tomorrow) before digging up the “right” pose.
I couldn’t resist showing her both ideas, though, and I was thrilled when she decided to get cartooned twice! She’s been wonderfully patient with this summer’s mad delays, and I’m really happy that she’s finally got her cartoons to show for it.

Weeble Wednesday: Delta

Weeble Delta by Amy Crook
Yet another of my friends who I weeble-ified, Delta’s got a weakness for blank books like many of us but she actually fills hers with regular journaling. She loves snakes as well, hence the t-shirt (she’s not-so-secretly a Slytherin at heart).
If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Weeble Wednesday: Isidore

Weeble Isidore by Amy Crook
Yet another of my buddies, Isidore is wearing her Hufflepuff colors in her weeble. I went for an argyle sweater and saddle shoes to spiff up her simple jeans, and of course had to add in a book on one of her favorite subjects, the British royal family.

Potions Accident by Amy Crook
By now I’m sure it’s obvious I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, so I thought I’d post another little drawing I did. The cheap paper made the Copic markers bleed a little more than usual, but I like the effect in the eerie magic flame under Harry’s cauldron.

Weeble Wednesday: Ruby

Weeble Ruby by Amy Crook
Continuing with friends of mine, this week we have my friend Ruby. She secretly loves the color pink, so I used my markers to good effect, and show her playing with her favorite toy at the time, her Nintendo DS (she cheats on it with her iPhone now). It was fun doing drawings of my friends, because I could really load up on the props — she’s also got a rose (that goes with her username), and her special walking shoes.

Weeble Cthulhu

Weeble Cthulhu by Amy Crook
As promised, I’m reposting Weeble Cthulhu from earlier this year so he’s hiding in amongst my daily art for those seeking out my (so far rather small) series of Lovecraftian weebles. He’s got his pet Shoggoth with him with his bowl of cultist snacks and everything.
I made a greeting card out of him for Valentine’s Day that said, “Cthulhu wanted to give you a heart, but they were all too small and squishy.” They sold so well I took off the “Happy Valentine’s Day” and have left them up on the shop ever since.

Pink Octopus

Pink Octopus by Amy Crook
A few years back (2006 says the signature!), we visited the Baltimore Aquarium when they had their octopus. He was just so adorable, pink and friendly, and he had this little puzzle-box full of shrimp that we declared was his purse. I spent a long time watching him, studying the way his limbs met his body and the decidedly un-graceful curls and squiggles of his long tentacles, especially the way they attenuated at the very ends.
So, when I got home, I had to draw him! I gave him a purse full of shrimp, and used my “Prawn” copic marker to color him. I ran across him while I was looking for some other files, and I thought I’d share him with you as a lazy Saturday post.
