Sharpie Week: Jack Skellington

Jack Skellington Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
This one’s all my doing! I was contemplating things I love but don’t draw much, and Nightmare Before Christmas is right at the top of that list. Jack’s looking a bit guilty because he thinks he ought to give Santa’s hat back, but he just feels so dapper in it!

Sharpie Week: John’s Bath

John’s Bath Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
When I was at a loss for what else to draw for this week, a friend of mine said “John! In the bath!” And then I thought, no, no, that’s not… wait, I could give him a duckie in a jumper. And then I really had to do it. So, here it is. With a duckie in a warm woolen sweater. Because I could.

Sharpie Week: Autumn Smooch

Autumn Smooch sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Another request from a friend, she wanted a kiss under a tree. I have to admit, it’s much more fun drawing kisses when you don’t have to get all worried about the exact placement of lips and noses and chins!

Sherlock meets Octopus sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Sharpie week continues! It was pointed out that I ought to keep to my Tentacle Tuesday tradition, and Sherlock volunteered to help. This one is exceptionally silly, I blame the fever.

Sharpie Week: Lobster Pot Pie
Monday, November 14th, 2011
Lobster Pot Pie sharpie sketch by Amy Crook
Allergy season is over, and so, I have a head cold! Normally I would spend Sunday scheduling art posts and guaranteeing you all a week of awesomeness, but this week I’m sick and Photoshop and I aren’t speaking over color matching differences. So, my solution? You get a week of Sharpie Marker doodles.
Now, I am running a fever, so I’m not silly enough to do these without a little bit of penciling, but overall I don’t think I spent more than 15 minutes on any of them from start to finish.
If you’re wondering about the subject matter, you can blame my friends for that — I asked them what to draw and they made suggestions. Though the bite I had of my friend’s lobster pot pie on Saturday night was very tasty, so I suppose it does deserve to be immortalized.

Twining Snakes Moleskine Volant
Saturday, March 26th, 2011
Twining Snakes Volant, detail, by Amy Crook
This bright green Moleskine Volant notebook has been hand-decorated with a pair of twining snakes using Sharpie markers. A black snake is biting his own tail in a double-looped ouroboros while his green friend slithers suggestively through his loops.
Moleskine’s colorful notebooks are ideal for customization, turning the high-quality book into a work of art in which to wrap your ideas. The acid-free ruled paper is a creamy ivory color, and a delight to write on. The large size Volants have 96 pages between their soft vinyl covers. The design is in permanent Sharpie, and should last as long as the notebook it’s drawn on.
Twining Snakes, 5″x8.25″ customized Moleskine Volant notebook, nfs (sold).
