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.

Sunday Round-Up & Face Sketch

a lot of cartoons and some skulls, like I do

a lot of cartoons and some skulls, like I do

A cheery assortment of smiles and tentacles in this week’s art, starting with Bilbo having tea on Monday. Tuesday brought Doctor Who, and Thursday was a whole wallpaper pattern made of grinning skulls. Friday there was a very cute gift of squid, and on Saturday a pair of adorable squid tied the knot.

And, of course, I have a wee sketch for you! This face came out very narrow indeed, and decidedly skewed to one side, but I rather like him anyway. I really do need to get some new large brush pens, though, mine are both starting to dry up, alas, either that or just work with brush & ink and skip the pen bit entirely.

skulls and fishies and 'toons, oh, my!

skulls and fishies and ‘toons, oh, my!

Another week of art has gone by like a flash! Monday I gave you whimsical skulls, and Tuesday a spooky fish skeleton. Wednesday we revisited the ocean depths with sea creatures galore. Thursday we got a dwarf’s view of birthdays, and Friday brought us Sherlock’s views on the subject. Saturday Sherlock was very grumpy indeed — he did not enjoy the party, apparently.

Below, we have a little brush-pen sketch of the tree outside my window, which just got a nice trim to clear away the dead branches and give Pod a better view of the crows that visit him.

Sunday Round-Up & Fish Skeleton Sketch

art from the previous week, mostly cartoons because cartoons rule

art from the previous week, mostly cartoons because cartoons rule

Another week, another round-up! Monday we visited Thorin and Bilbo and were reminded that no one fights like Thorin, douses lights… Or maybe I just gave you all an earworm. Tuesday was Red 3, with all its complex and interesting interplays of three different shades of red and the soft black paper as well. Wednesday we visited the color yellow in many of the pieces from my previous work. Thursday‘s otterly adorkable art is now a print, by request. Friday the Devil made us do it, and on Saturday there was more Brothers Holmes with two color bonus comics.

And of course since it’s Sunday there’s a sketch, which was a wee study I did for Tuesday’s art. Heeere fishy fishy fishy…

this past week's art

this past week’s art

It’s Sunday once again! If you missed some of this week’s posts, on Monday I had a ghostly swirly moon, on Tuesday our tentacles were very sad and apologetic, and on Wednesday we looked at the whole alphabet all together. Thursday revisited the idea of heraldry, Friday revisited Instagram, and on Saturday the Ninth Doctor visited us. It was a week chock-full of new cards for my Etsy shop, and new art for you to enjoy, whee.

And, of course, there’s a little sketch for you today. I was playing with shading with my new Neutral Grey Copic markers, which give me another choice from the warm and cool greys I’ve been using.

Sunday Round-Up & Crystal sketch

art-type things wot I posted this past week

art-type things wot I posted this past week

Monday we visited tiny Tolkein fandom with Storm, while Tuesday the tentacles got all steampunk with the golden Tentacle Idol. Wordless Wednesday revisited crows, and on Thursday I finally finished my alphabet with Z is for Zoomorphic. Then, Friday we saw the third Filigree Moon painting, and Saturday I expressed my feelings about pollen in cartoon form.

For Sunday’s sketch, I have another little doodle from someone’s Cthulhu Coloring Book, a mysterious crystal with eyes staring out from its facets. Sorry about the SAN loss.

Tomorrow begins Bookmark Week! My newsletter list got a little preview so a couple of them are already sold, but there’s still a bunch left for you to covet.

I’m not sure I’d want this hung on my anything — tree, house, ankle… It looks unpleasantly gooey and bitey. Very bitey.
