Just a silly bit of smooching I drew for a holiday card exchange. They’re definitely enjoying their holiday cheer!

Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella by Amy Crook

I know it’s a bit early for most people to be thinking about Valentines, but us handcrafters need extra time to get our swag together. I’m thinking of doing a line this year of “I love you like X loves Y” cards — some, like this one, of the dorky fangirl variety, and some of a more geeky bent.

Plus, the image of Mycroft smooching his DI under his favourite umbrella was one I just couldn’t resist.

Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper. Get cards and prints at Etsy.

John's Bath Sharpie sketch by Amy Crook

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 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.

Baker Street Domesticity

Baker Street Domesticity, cartoon by Amy Crook

Baker Street Domesticity by Amy Crook

Another little commission, this time for someone who really enjoyed my 6-page comic, Resplendent Ennui. She wanted a domestic scene with John poking out his tongue while he ate crisps, and I couldn’t resist adding in some extra details. Sherlock likes his tea light and sweet, so he’s got an Erlenmeyer flask of milk and a tipped-over beaker of sugar to go with his tea. John’s drinking his black out of his RAMC mug — I’m pretty sure Sherlock is “borrowing” Mrs. Hudson’s teacup and pot there.

Kitties Visit Baker St.

Kitties Visit Baker St. cartoon by Amy Crook

Kitties Visit Baker St. cartoon by Amy Crook

This little commission was done for a request of John & Sherlock playing with my kitties, so Belladonna (left) and Pteropodidae (right) go to take a little trip to Baker Street. Bella’s fully recovered from her tooth drama, and has found John a comfy, warm place to look annoyed about being petted. Sherlock has, predictably, decided to experiment with Pod and a laser pointer (he also refuses to call Pod by anything other than his full name).

All in all it was fun do draw cartoon versions of my kitties, and of course I always enjoy John & Sherlock.

Kitties Visit Baker St., 7″x5″ pen and ink on paper, not for sale, commission.

Sherlock bookmark 2

Sherlock Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

Sherlock Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

I was experimenting with some new paper and salt, and after tearing down a 8″x8″ square for another piece I was left with this strip. I made my usual spirals, except this time I kept them all along the top edge rather than scattered over the whole page. They didn’t form proper salt pools, but I did like the will-o-the-wisp quality that was left, with just a few tiny salt crystals and the soft swirls of ink like a glowing light.

In a fit of 2am whimsy, I pencilled in a half-dozen little Sherlocks, first examining, then chasing, and finally catching his very own will-o-the-wisp.

Sherlock Bookmark 2, 8″x2.75″ mixed media on paper, nfs (sold).

You can see the salt crystals much better in this detail photo, and some of the teeny tiny detail in the little Sherlocks.
