Daron & Ziggy, a Daron’s Guitar Chronicles comic by Amy Crook
I’m finishing out my week of Valentines with a couple of literal (if fictional) rock stars!
I’ve done art for Daron’s Guitar Chronicles before, and this time I decided to echo (though not copy) a famous David Bowie pose for my two favorite on-again, off-again rock stars. They’re definitely on again here, with Ziggy firmly ensconced between and wrapped around Daron’s legs.

Tentacle-Tied, a Cthulhu comic by Amy Crook
“You make Cthulhu tentacle-tied,” says the Elder God of legend and nightmare, looking quite wide-eyed and nervous. Will you take pity on Cthulhu and be his Valentine?

Centurion

Centurion, a Doctor Who comic by Amy Crook
This Valentine, on the other hand, declares its devotion in no uncertain terms. Rory Williams (or Rory Pond, as the Doctor liked to call him) is all done up in his Centurion gear, saying, “I’d stand sentinel 2000 years for you.”
Now that’s commitment.
Pick one up in my Etsy shop today!

Timeless Love

Timeless Love, a Doctor Who comic by Amy Crook
Second in our Valentine week, it’s Doctor Who! The Tenth Doctor stands in front of a glowingly mysterious halo of Circular Gallifreyan.* Above him it says, “Gallifreyan has 22 tenses, and I love you in every one.”
You can pick up this lovely card in my Etsy shop, and give it to some one who adores the Doctor, and hopefully you as well. Or just keep it for yourself and imagine David Tennant’s voice when you look at it. Whatever.

Better is Better

Better is Better by Amy Crook
“Better is Better,” is one of the philosophies that got me through 2014, as well as its corollary, “Enough is Enough.”
Any improvement, no matter how small, is still better. Even if it’s not perfect, it can be enough.
You are enough.
This globe-like circle is surrounded by those words, cradled in the idea of appreciating our own milestones and achievements. The colors show up best in the main scan, bright blues and subtle greens, earth and water indistinct and yet evoking the feeling of a living world.

Above, you can see the brush-drawn calligraphy and a bit of the lovely, watery world. Below, it’s tucked into a frame just the size for an everyday reminder.

Patterns of Flow

Patterns of Flow by Amy Crook
This delicately monochrome abstract watercolor is full of tiny textural details that come together to form a larger flow, like a map of a river’s course.
The colors range from deep purple to pale periwinkle, with a matte softness to the lighter areas that helps distinguish them from the shine of the darker ones. There’s little splashes outside of the uneven, painterly border, which add a touch of whimsy. The color is represented most accurately in the framed photo.
This painting is very meditative, something you can use to calm your mind for a few minutes when it’s racing too much to get into flow with your own work or art.

Ignite by Amy Crook
Some fireworks to start off 2015!
This is the third in my Aglow series, taking the hues completely away from purple and black and setting them alight.
I want this painting to inspire you to coax the spark of hope and creativity in yourself to a proper bright bonfire. Ignite your passions, ignite your career, ignite yourself.

Above, you can see the rich red with the gorgeous metallic word both catching the sunlight and looking like they’re on fire. Below, you can see the piece in a frame, with perhaps the most accurate colors of the three images.
