Hedgehog & Otter Adventures

Floating Along, dorky fan art by Amy Crook
If you’re on Tumblr or in my brain you’ll understand completely when I say this is actually Harry Potter/Sherlock crossover fan art with Animagus forms.
If you’re not, then look at the adorable otter and hedgehog. They’re floating! They’re friends!
There is, of course, the nap after to be considered as well. Those involved in the aforementioned fannish telepathy will know exactly which scarf is whose and why.

Halloweentown Holmes

Halloweentown Holmes by Amy Crook
I saw someone posting about Sherlock and Mycroft being originally from Halloweentown in the Nightmare Before Christmas universe, with an older, skeletal brother Sherrinford. I couldn’t resist drawing it up with just a bit of my own silly style added in!
Sherlock’s even dead. Well, undead. Well, you know, Halloweentown. I just couldn’t resist the urge to draw them, given how much my cartooning style owes to Jack Skellington. Sherrinford’s even got a bat for his cravat.

Sherlock Hardcase

Sherlock Gelaskin iPhone Hardcase, art by Amy Crook
As much as I adore my beloved Gelaskin stickers, my iPhone has been dropped enough times that I really needed a bit more protection. Gelaskin has again come to the rescue with my lovely custom hardcase, featuring my drawing of Sherlock in all his glorious ennui. There’s even a secret hedgehog.

Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4

4 Sherlock bookmarks by Amy Crook
The lovely person that bought this John Watson bookmark wanted a whole set of the four lads from the show, and here’s the results! I fortunately have a bunch of these identical paper scraps from cutting down the paper for the alphabet, so it was easy to do four that matched. John and Lestrade are on cool grey backgrounds with warm grey skin, and the Holmeses are all warm greys except for their clothing. Everyone got a bit of personality to them, John in his stripey jumper with the skull art from the show, Sherlock with his violin, Lestrade with his phone at a crime scene and Mycroft with his brolly and wallpaper.
Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4, 1.875″ x 4.875″ pen & ink and Copic marker on scrap paper, nfs.

Boring Without You

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.
Boring Without You, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, original nfs (sold).

Sharing Warmth

Sharing Warmth, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook
I sent a Moo card with the main image on it to one of my Sherlock bookmark buyers, and she said she’d never seen it, and sure enough, I’d never posted it. Oops! It’s nicely seasonal now, anyway, with Jack Frost nipping at all sorts of things all over the hemisphere. I really think Sherlock makes it, though, forever interrupting with his own importance.
Sharing Warmth, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper.

221b Becomes Tattoos

Baker Street Tinies: B is for Baker Street, exterior, by Amy Crook
Baker Street Tinies: B is for Baker Street, interior, by Amy Crook
Remember these? The wonderful Nicole & Mo wanted a pair of tattoo designs that were part Sherlock, part Holmes, and part Edward Gorey. They took my artwork to their tattoo artist, who promptly told them “no,” hah! I guess I should’ve used bigger pens.
They each got to choose one section to fit on their arms for the final tattoos, which you can see below.
Baker Street Tinies tattoos, design by Amy Crook
Nicole, left, has an eerie outside view of 221b Baker Street on her forearm. She had it drawn as it might look if it were a single townhouse instead of part of the larger building, and also transported to a rather spookier version of London. Mo, on the right, got the fireplace at 221b as her tattoo, minus the intricate wallpaper. We moved the skull from another wall to join the skull on the mantel, but otherwise hers is more faithful to Sherlock‘s actual set.
I really love the way their tattoo artist interpreted my delicate linework into her own art form, preserving as much of the detail as possible while keeping the designs clear and clean so they’d age well.
But the best part is that the tattoos went to London! Nicole sent me the best photo, below, of her tattoo outside the building they actually used for 221b Baker Street in the show. Sadly the Sherlock set wasn’t hiding inside for Mo to get a photo of hers. Wouldn’t that be something awesome?
Tattoos go to London!
