Time Ends

Time Ends, 5″x7″ pen & ink, pencil, and Copic marker on paper
The second in my commission series I’m calling All the Doctors, Twelve is saying another famous line, “Time Ends.” He’s wearing his snazzy Sonic Sunglasses, one of his more casual outfits with the hoodie and t-shirt under the fancy coat, and plaid trousers that were not a thing I recommend drawing by hand.
And yet, somehow, I keep drawing dudes in plaid. Go figure.
You can get this Doctor at my Etsy shop, where he’d make a great card to give to someone who’s just waiting for 2016 to be over already.

(On the) Twelfth Doctor of Christmas, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
The Twelfth Doctor is all done up in his velvety holiday finery, floofy hair and a cup of something warmly seasonal, but he’s just got one question — is there something on his head?
You can send this delightful Christmas greeting to all the Doctor Who fans in your life — buy the card here today.

Sherlock’s Perfect Christmas

Sherlock’s Perfect Christmas, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
This year for Sherlock’s annual holiday card, I decided to give him a little bit of all of his favorite things — from Victorian wallpaper to modern murder, there’s a perfect Sherlock Christmas in the making.
I’m particularly fond of the gingerdead man — what’s your favorite part?

Growth 7
Thursday, November 3rd, 2016
Growth 7, 7″x5″ brush & ink and pen & ink on paper
This is the first of my Growth series to actually have a Zen circle as its central motif. It explores the idea of directionality, suggesting a different kind of movement than the previous ones with their more symmetrical designs.
The softer grey ink circles seem to propel the larger one rather than being thrust from it, ghostly next to the solidity of the black.
The liminal space is tangible here, messy, a dark presence that dominates visually while still giving a grounding point for the vaporous grey bubbles, like matter changing to another state.
Growth 7, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the tiny cluster of growths on the inner surface of the Zen circle. Below, this ink art is in a frame, a petite exploration of liminality and motion.

Inktober 2016, Week 4

Some of these will be available as cards, some of them will be in a bookmark sale for my email list next month, some of them will show up in the Floating Gallery tomorrow, and some of them are already spoken for.

London Fog

London Fog, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper,
James Bond parody art by Amy Crook
A London Fog is an Earl Grey tea latte with a bit of vanilla syrup, creamy and sweet and fragrant and oh so good on an autumn day. Q’s assistant brought him this one, and he’s got a matching tea-patterned sweater to go with it, because tea is love.
You can get this silly ode to tea as a card in my Etsy shop, or support me on Patreon and request art like this for your very own!
