Sharpie Landscape by Amy Crook

Sharpie Landscape by Amy Crook

My sister-in-law Sabrina asked for a Sharpie landscape on FB, and so I’ll end out my Sharpie week with a cheery sort of place for a Sunday picnic. It’s full of spirals and bright colors, the perfect place for a day off.

Tomorrow, it’s back to art that took more than 15 minutes!

Sunday Round-Up and Doctor Watson sketch

Sunday, June 23rd, 2013

it's been a week, there's been art

it’s been a week, there’s been art

I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday! Time for the usual week in review. Monday there were some pretty periwinkle flowers, and Tuesday a trio of squid went dancing on by. Thursday I started a new series, and creeped you all out with a mirror. Friday there was a kobold making curry, and Saturday the periwinkle came back with Sherlock on it this time.

And, of course, there’s a sketch to finish off the week. This time Dr. Watson is fed up with a certain whiny patient, and is going to get a temperature no matter how much he protests.

Open wide or drop trou, your choice, Sherlock.

Sunday Round-Up & Doctor Who Sketch

art things for an art week

art things for an art week

I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday! In case you missed it or just want to revisit, there was art this week. Shocking, I know. Monday started the week off morbidly with a crowned skull, but Tuesday the tentacles were cheerful enough to make up for it. Thursday there was mysterious dark matter, and Friday a spirally drunk lizard came to hang out. Saturday John and Sherlock were late for your birthday, and of course there’s a sketch for today.

The Tenth Doctor went along with someone’s packet of cards to make sure there was no nonsense with them, and they arrived in plenty of time for the festivities.

 

It's even got a TARDIS moo sticker!

Sunday Round-Up & John Sketch

lots of squid and other things and squid

lots of squid and other things and squid

What a week! Too much happening in the world that sucks. But here, there was art! Monday‘s annoyed hedgie sort of set the tone, unfortunately, and Tuesday a giant squid said rawr and ate a boat. Wednesday I showed you my Wall of Squid, with bonus guest Octopi. Thursday Sherlock totally failed to apologize, and Friday some crows flew past the moon in the dull lavender gloaming.

For your traditional Sunday Sketch, I have a nervous Watson, who wishes to remain unbent, unmutilated, and otherwise in good shape as he flies across the country to deliver a birthday card.

Sunday Round-Up & This Bit’s John’s

Sunday, April 14th, 2013

a week of fancy art and cartoons

a week of fancy art and cartoons

It was a busy week! Monday the Lucky Squid wished you all the best, and Tuesday there were more tentacles. Wednesday I showed off the book that had my art on the cover. Friday John wished you might get well, and Saturday we wished you might at least get off Facebook for a minute.

This little sketch is courtesy of my big package of art, prints & cards that went to my wonderful patron in another time zone, which will hopefully arrive very soon indeed. You can see that I’m not nearly as neat when I don’t sketch before I ink, hah.

Sunday Round-Up & Penguin Sketch

The Death of Me, Too, a Sherlock print by Amy Crook

The Death of Me, Too, a Sherlock print by Amy Crook

This week was all of a piece, with The Death of Me, Too, the comic sequel to The Death of Me. You can read them both from the start at this tag, which even puts them in the right order for you.

I pulled out my Sharpie to sketch something I vaguely saw in the shapes of something I was staring blankly at during my ‘blink and yawn’ phase this morning, so enjoy this penguin, who is feeling about as awake and full of meh as I am. My hair looks better, though.

Purple Pattern Bookmark

Purple Pattern Bookmark by Amy Crook

This wee bookmark is the same size as yesterday’s, but with a very different subject. This time I started with Sharpie to doodle in skulls and curlicues, and then I took a purple ink pen and drew in the long lines. This one’s drawn on the shiny side of a scrap of comic backing board, so I took my finger and smeared the purple ink, giving a lovely mottled texture while the actual drawn lines still remained visible.

Above, you can see the bookmark up close, including a little bit of sunshine off the shiny Sharpie and scored-in purple pen lines near the top. Below, you can see it hanging bravely with the big green book, evoking the ’80s.
