Brave Heart, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic Marker on paper, parody Doctor Who art by Amy Crook
This is the first in a series of all 13 Doctors I’ll be doing for a Patreon patron! The Fifth Doctor is his favorite, and so I had to go all out with the celery and stripey trousers. So stripey.
You can get this cheerful portrait on a card in my Etsy shop, since the original is on its way to Australia!

Double-Oh Mistletoe

Double-Oh Mistletoe, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper,
parody James Bond art by Amy Crook
The holidays are coming whether we’re ready or not! This adorable bit of Inktober art doubles as a Christmas card for the chosen few. James Bond is cuddling his Quartermaster under the mistletoe, both of them dressed for the holidays. Q is even sporting a cheerful red bow in his messy mop of hair!

Bees 3
Friday, October 7th, 2016
Bees 3, 6″x6″ pencil, brush & ink, watercolor, and Primatek watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
It’s been almost a year since the first bees buzzed over during Inktober.
This trio of bees are painted in a beautiful gold-infused grey ink, and paired with a paint made of real bronzite mineral that has its own subtle sparkle. The deep honey-gold evokes an unfiltered local honey, full of flavor and goodness.

Above, you can see a detail of the uppermost bee, with the gold in the linework catching the sunlight along its body. Below, the bees are buzzing around their frame like they’re at home in a hive box.

Growth 6
Wednesday, October 5th, 2016
Growth 6, 5″x7″ pen & ink on bristol
This delightfully awkward little drawing hearkens back to the heart of my Growth series, leaving out the color entirely and just exploring the idea of sending small bits of yourself both inward and outward.
The line work evokes Shel Silverstein, with a dash of The Little Prince in the volcano-ish eruptions on the surface of the wibbly-wobbly world.
There’s something charming about the exploration of liminal space here, with the clusters expending their energies both inward and outward from the almost-not-there line that defines the boundary.
Do you need a reminder to prioritize Growth in your life?
Growth 6, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see an extreme close-up on the tiny clusters riding that liminal boundary. Below, you can see the piece in its frame, delicately charming in its hand-drawn-ness.*

Taste of the Holidays

Taste of the Holidays, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker,
Inception parody art by Amy Crook
For once, Arthur’s looking awfully pleased at something Eames is offering him. That candy cane Eames is sucking on does look rather tasty, so I don’t blame him!
I know it feels insanely early to be getting holiday cards done, but trust me, I’m running late in the world of retail. Inception fandom is a tiny one, but it’s really the best, nicest fandom, so I had to make a card just for us.

Happy Birthday to Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, and meeeee!
