30 Day Marker Challenge, part 3
Tuesday, April 25th, 2017
The amazing Sadynax gave herself a 30-day Marker Challenge last month, and I decided to do it for April to help get back in the swing of art after my surgery. Three weeks and counting I’ve managed some daily art, hooray!
I’m giving my wonderful Patreon supporters some bonuses at the $5+ sketch levels this month, so it’s a good time to become a patron!
Day 18: Use colored paper.
Day 19: Draw stone or crystal.
Day 20: Draw fur.
Day 21: Draw water.
Day 22: Draw fire.
Day 23: Draw cold atmosphere.
Day 24: Draw warm atmosphere.

Tea for Q
Friday, January 20th, 2017
Tea for Q, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Q is working on his much-stickered, tape-repaired laptop and giving a little smile to Bond, who is bringing him tea in his favorite Scrabble mug. It comes with a bit of extra sweetness in the form of a kiss on Q’s mussed hair.
A perfect Valentine for the nerdy tea-lover in your life, or just to add a bit of love to your life.

Tea Shelf
Sunday, July 3rd, 2016
Tea Shelf, 8″x4″ pencil and watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
Cup, cup, cat, cup, cup, tin.
Whimsy and tea, what more could you want? This delightful little watercolor shows a shelf of goodies, from a beautiful celadon teacup and saucer to a cheerfully antisocial mug. The gloved “hands” that hold up the shelf add to the delight, especially with a wee mouse sleeping happily in one of them. The sleeping-cat figurine might be my favorite part.
What’s yours?
Tea Shelf, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the mug that I really do need to get made, and the adorable sly grey kitty figurine next to it. Below, the piece is in its temporary frame, showing off before it gets whisked away to its new home.

Tea: Molly Hooper
Thursday, April 28th, 2016
Tea: Molly Hooper, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This last piece in the Tea Series features the adorkable Molly Hooper, the pathologist from whose morgue Sherlock keeps borrowing all manner of unpleasant items. She’s got a soothing cup of Darjeeling, probably to help her nerves after one of Sherlock’s visits.

Tea: Lestrade
Thursday, April 21st, 2016
Tea: Lestrade, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This third piece in the Tea Series features DI Lestrade from the BBC Sherlock series. The put-upon detective inspector needs a strong, bracing cup of Assam to help him keep up with Sherlock’s antics.

Tea: Q
Thursday, April 14th, 2016
Tea: Q, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This second piece in the Tea Series features Q from the most recent James Bond films, drinking Earl Grey out of his Scrabble mug. He’s not in his pyjamas, so obviously this isn’t his first cup. Let’s hope he hasn’t caused too much destruction in his day yet, or had cause to strangle 007.
