Sunday Round-Up & Bob the Skull sketch
Sunday, May 5th, 2013
A belated round-up on a sleepy Sunday! Back on Monday, Spock and Sherlock were unimpressed with your opinions on their similarities. Tuesday there were shiny tentacles, and Wednesday I talked about my toothache and my new commissions posts. Thursday John got a truly ugly sweater and Sherlock sneered. Friday Eihort shimmered evilly on the page, and Saturday it was Lestrade’s turn as a stick figure cartoon.
Below, you can see a nose-less, rune-bedecked sketch of Bob the Skull from the Dresden Files series. He’s all carved up in the tv show, but I don’t think he’s got the runes in the books, but it was fun to fake them up anyway.

Dealing With a Child
Saturday, May 4th, 2013
This is one of my favorite moments with the good Detective Inspector, when he’s all sprawled out in Sherlock’s chair, a cheerful grin on his face, giving Sherlock crap for being a dick. It worked so well I thought it might make a fun Father’s Day card, in fact, to go with Mrs. Hudson for Mother’s Day, since that’s often the role he seems to embody in Sherlock’s life.

Gee, Thanks
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013
Everyone in a certain corner of the internet knows that John Watson and this horrible kitten sweater were meant for each other, creepy staring blue doll eyes and all. Sherlock, on the other hand, disagrees. But then, he would.
Gee, Thanks, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). But you can get them on a thank you card at Etsy!
Above, you can see the horrible sweater up close. Staring at you. Always staring.
Below, you can see the card all printed out and ready to horrify your loved ones!

No Resemblance
Monday, April 29th, 2013
This little comic was suggested to me on Twitter back in November, and it’s taken me this long to get around to drawing it. The two tall, slender, logical, dark-haired men don’t see any resemblance, but I’m guessing you do.
Random artist trivia: normally I’m very good at spelling, but I have some sort of mental block with the a in “resemblance,” and keep spelling it with all ‘e’s and having to fix it, including in the pencils for the comic. Good thing I decided to spell check myself!
No Resemblance, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold).
Above, you can see how I’ve given them very similar features, down to the hair color and eyebrow lift. Below, I’ve tucked them into a frame with Sherlock’s skull, which I’m sure Spock would find fascinating.

Sunday Round-Up & Sad Hedgehog
Sunday, April 28th, 2013
Another week, another batch of art posts. Monday there was a lovely Gibbous Moon, and Tuesday the tentacles came out to play. Wednesday we had a review of the art I’ve made on lovely black paper. Thursday Dori offered you some tea, Friday this otter was very curious what you were on about, and Saturday Mrs Hudson reminded you that she’s not your housekeeper, dear.
For Sunday, of course, there’s another sketch! This little pen-and-ink hedgie’s a sad and sorry sort, but he’ll cheer up if you rub his tummy, I’m sure of it.

Not Your Housekeeper
Saturday, April 27th, 2013
The Other Amy is a wonderful customer of my Etsy shop, and she wrote me a little note to see if I was going to make a Mrs. Hudson card for Mother’s day. I hadn’t been planning to, but I thought her idea was so cute I drew it up! There’s going to be a matching card for Father’s Day with our favorite detective inspector, so watch out for that next week.

Curious Otter
Friday, April 26th, 2013
This curious little otter is peering at you through a sunlit window into his little pool. He’s done with a limited palette of watercolors and a little bit of water-blurred pen & ink to add that feeling of a reinforced window. He’s a bit of an odd size, but mounting him on a piece of mat board lets you appreciate the hand-torn irregularity of the paper’s edges. The soft paper lends some really nice texture to the loose, expressionist brush strokes.
Above, you can see the otter up close, peering at you with his sharp black eyes while the rest of him grows ever fainter in the water’s slightly murky depths. Below, you can see him in a temporary frame, displayed in all his nosy glory with his little hedgehog buddy.
