One Plus One, a Sherlock parody by Amy Crook
I love that Sesame Street puts some of their most awesome stuff on Youtube now, including this gem with Benedict Cumberbatch and the Count. I was inspired by the very cute ending with the Count saying, “Dat is 1 smart man, ah-ah!”
So, we have one of my favorite geek equations: 1+1<3 — where we have 1 smart man, 1 loyal man, and of course when you put them together, there’s the love. I even made it into a card for my Etsy shop.

One Plus One is Less Than Three, a Sherlock card by Amy Crook at Etsy
The original of this piece sold the very first day my patrons had their preview of March’s Floating Gallery. If you’d like to have your own chance to snag things early, or just feel like you’re extra special in my heart, you can join my list here.

Birthdaybomb, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook
Happy pi day! This comic has nothing to do with pie or pi, but the nerd in me couldn’t let it go by unacknowledged.
So, today’s art isn’t technically a commission, but it was a gift for one of my wonderful patrons. For her birthday, I decided to do something topical yet very in keeping with Sherlock’s personality — after all, any attention that’s not being paid to him is clearly going to the wrong place. John’s sincere moment of sweetness is being photobombed by our favorite showoff, but he does manage to get his, “Happy Birthday,” in edgewise.
It is, of course, also available as a card at my Etsy shop, for those of you unlucky enough not to own the original. 😉

Calm, Cool, and… yeah, commission by Amy Crook
all rights reserved so please don’t steal
I have patrons from the coolest places, y’all. Renee is from Malaysia, and she’s been trying to think of the perfect commission for a while. She wanted something that emphasized the character of each of these three somewhat reluctant heroes, so we decided on the “Calm, Cool, and Collected,” trope. Except that Eleven was a lot of things, but collected really isn’t one of them. Besides, bow ties are cool. Spock epitomizes calm, and Sherlock with his popped collar and his cheekbones is definitely cool, so Eleven helped us out by crossing out his adjective and adding in, “also Cool.”
Although the original is (obviously) sold, Renee has kindly consented to let me put our trio on a card that you can buy in my Etsy shop for you very own trio of heroes.

Gift Deduction, commission comic by Amy Crook
all rights reserved, no copying or Sherlock will know
Another holiday commission! What is this world coming to? Actually it’s just that I’m finally getting around to posting these, because I just finished a few others, including one I can’t post yet, hah.
Sherlock is looking very smug indeed here as he rattles the box and says, “Deducing the perfect gift is hardly a challenge worthy of my intellect… But I made an exception for you.”
This will be a card next holiday season, but for now you can just stare longingly and plan to send one to everyone you love enough.

Dancing Lessons

Dancing Lessons, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook
When watching the new series of Sherlock (which I hope you’ve seen!), my mind caught on the image of Sherlock teaching John to dance for his wedding reception. After John executed the perfect dip with Mary, I had a giggle over the idea of him learning how with Sherlock.
Sherlock, of course, had to demonstrate on John, first, but I’m sure they did the other way later. It was fun getting to draw John’s hair all fweeee!
I’ve also made it available as a card in my Etsy shop. Because reasons.

Tea is Love, Sherlock parody art by Amy Crook
There’s just something special about that person who makes you tea when they make their own without being asked. Despite the contentious onscreen friendship, I’ve always thought there must be quiet moments at 221b Baker Street where John and Sherlock get along.
You can get this sweet image as one of this year’s Valentines in my Etsy shop, and give it to someone else you adore to show you appreciate the little things they do for you. Or to suggest they make you tea* more often. One of those.

He Knows if You’ve Been Bad or Good

He Knows if You’ve Been Bad or Good,
a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook
I’m still hard at writing with NaNoWriMo, but yesterday’s card demanded a companion.
Mycroft Holmes is Santa Claus. It makes perfect sense, in a creepy sort of way, he’s already got Minions to do the work and everything. I’m especially partial to the candy cane striped tie, an everyday acknowledgement of his very special secret role. Even more powerful than being the British Government, sort of!
He Knows if You’ve Been Bad or Good, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper. Buy this as a holiday card at my Etsy shop!
