October 2025 Sketch Cards
Thursday, December 4th, 2025
The holidays made this one run a little late, but I got there in the end! The cats helped, of course. They’re helpers.
- JoVE asked for “escaping the gloom” and got this wee painting/drawing
- SaraBeth wanted Pod as the Winter Soldier and I decided to do Bucky’s correct missing leggie and not Pod’s for the visual (sold)
- Eric prompted Muppets Haunted Mansion and I couldn’t resist Hatbox Fozzie (sold)
- Kelly asked for a witch, a pumpkin, and a dragon, and got some of each heh (sold)
- Jeff prompted “forest shuffle” and I can never do a prompt from him straight (sold)
- Lila wanted a Halloween dryad and got this lovely lady
- Amy B prompted “spoopy” so I did one of my ghosties
- Andria prompted “not my circus, not my monkeys” and well, yeah (sold)

June 2024 Patron Sketches
Tuesday, July 30th, 2024
There was a bat in our basement! It appears to have left on its own, but man, what a random ending to the week. Before all that, I spent the day on sketch cards! Everything is watercolor this time around because reasons.
From the top left:
- Kelly asked for a rainbow kitty
- Amy B prompted “our big, loud pride in [their] shameful times”
- SaraBeth prompted “quiet pride”
- Eric asked for Gonzo
- Jeff asked for Fozzie Ramone
- Amber prompted “sidekick wanted!”
- Andria wanted a subtle bi owl
- Corinne referred to Goomy day by asking for “slime and rainbows”
- and Nick asked for a Mandragora from Final Fantasy
There’s actually a 10th card, but it’s a spoiler for the cover of A Flutter of Fae, which is now with my beta readers, with its plot all fixed and some fresh typos for their pleasure of discovery.

Old Friends Who’ve Just Met

Old Friends Who’ve Just Met, Muppets fan art by Amy Crook
I was watching The Muppet Movie the other day, and if there was every a Muppet to get himself in a friendly situation with a tentacle monster, it’s Gonzo. The title comes from Gonzo’s big song, where he sings, “There’s not a word yet, for old friends who’ve just met.” Given his penchant for putting starfish in his pants in Muppet Treasure Island, I think Gonzo and the tentacle monster are going to get along just fine.

Above, you can see Gonzo up close, along with the spot where my inks smeared, ironically while I was specifically trying not to smear them with my hand and so I put a pencil board over them. I’m just having a bad week with inks, man. Below, you can see it in a frame, just waiting to go back there someday. I feel I should point out that I had my choice of tentacle monsters and Muppet action figures, Pez dispensers and plushies to choose from for this photo. Gonzo in his cannon won because he was closest.
