Second Breakfast

Second Breafkast, Hobbit parody art by Amy Crook

Second Breafkast, Hobbit parody art by Amy Crook

Bilbo’s got a whole second breakfast set out, with bread and cheese, apples and tea and of course a nice hot plate of eggs, sausages and fried tomatoes. But he wants you to know that he loves you just as much as the meal!

This warm, cheerful card will help show your love for the Tolkien geek in your life, or just someone who appreciates a good second breakfast as much as any hobbit.

Boring Without You

Bored Without You, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

Bored Without You, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook

No one can do ennui quite like Sherlock, and today’s Valentine is no exception. Perfect for those apart from their beloveds, I even wrote a little poem to go with it:

“Blood spatter’s red,
Corpse lips are blue,
But murders are boring
When I’m without you.”

The wallpaper was drawn by hand on a light table, using a printout of the original pattern for reference, so each little scribbled motif is just a bit different from the rest. Sherlock’s got his stuffed hedgehog to keep him company, but it’s just not the same as having John there with him.

Hello, Sexy!

Hello, Sexy! parody Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Hello, Sexy! parody Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Hello, Sexy – Happy New Year! It might seem a little early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day and ways to express your adoration, but trust me, it’ll sneak right up on you in six short weeks. To help alleviate that “how did it get to be February” panic, I’ve got a whole week of Valentine (and unValentine) designs for you, all of which are perfectly good at showing affection (or loathing, in Snape’s case) any other time of the year as well.

Doctor Who is kicking off the week, with the Eleventh Doctor in his bowtie and fez. As we all know from watching The Doctor’s Wife, his secret name for the TARDIS is “Sexy,” though you can offer the sentiment to the geek guy or girl of your choice.

Tentacle!

Tentacle sketch by Amy Crook

Tentacle sketch by Amy Crook

I owe a somewhat patient friend of mine a tentacle or two, and I was thinking about that when I doodled this in someone’s coloring book. It’s the end of the year, a good time to wrap up things you owe people, after all.

Especially tentacles.

Dresden Bookmark

Harry Dresden Bookmark by Amy Crook

Harry Dresden Bookmark
by Amy Crook

Today I’m back to art you can’t have because it was for someone else’s Christmas present! And yes, I do give good presents.

For my birthday, this friend pre-ordered the new Dresden Files book for me, and so as part of his Christmas present I drew him up this portrait of a young, sassy Harry Dresden. The book Dresden’s a bit more careworn these days, though not actually any more fashionable, but he hasn’t lost his sense of humor even after all he’s been through. Plus, here he’s got his staff and his blasting rod, because that’s just how he rolls.

Christmas Dusk

Christmas Dusk watercolor by Amy Crook

Christmas Dusk watercolor by Amy Crook

The sky shimmers between a dusky silver-grey and a lighter blue-violet, fading lighter as it gets closer to a horizon filled with cheerful Christmas trees in all shapes and sizes. The moon is just visible in the sky at the end of the day, helping to light the way of anyone heading to and from their festivities — or their normal, everyday days.

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate, and to those who don’t, here’s to seeing it all vanish again in a week!

Fairytale Sky 6

Fairytale Sky 6 by Amy Crook

Fairytale Sky 6 by Amy Crook

This sixth Fairytale Sky painting was another Christmas gift, it seems to be a trend this year! This one’s for a good friend and patron of mine who bought the 1st and 5th paintings out of the series, so it seemed only fitting to paint one specifically for her (as she puts it) “Wall of Amy.” The swirling clouds in this one go from pink to purple depending on the angle, shimmering with a mysterious iridescence that’s just faintly echoed in the moon.

Above, you can see the way the colors shimmer on the black paper, silver for the stars and pink-purple for the spiraling clouds.

Happy Christmas Eve, or at least Happy Monday. Watch out for wayward Skellingtons impersonating Sandy Claws tonight. ♥
