Squid Inked
Friday, January 4th, 2013
Squid Inked cartoon by Amy Crook, $59
This wee little squid is a bit embarrassed by how very excited he or she gets when you’re around (even squid don’t always know which is which). There’s a silly heart-shaped inkblot on the front of the card, and this little squid decorates the inside with plenty of room for your sentiments and signature. This is a great card for someone you’ve got a crush on, or who still excites you after all these years!
Squid Inked, 5″x5″ pen & ink and Copic markers on paper, original $59 with free shipping (inkblot not included).

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.

OKCthulhu parody by Amy Crook
I was waffling about what to do for a Cthulhu Valentine this year when my friend Jeff suggested this particular parody idea. The result isn’t so much a Valentine as a wish for the recipient to find love without having to resort to Cthulhu. There’s references here to some of my favorite games, not to mention a certain popular dating site and a certain parody Tumblr.
And yes, Cthulhu is wearing a fedora.

Hello, Sexy!

Hello, Sexy! parody Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook
Hello, Sexy – Happy New Year! It might seem a little early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day and ways to express your adoration, but trust me, it’ll sneak right up on you in six short weeks. To help alleviate that “how did it get to be February” panic, I’ve got a whole week of Valentine (and unValentine) designs for you, all of which are perfectly good at showing affection (or loathing, in Snape’s case) any other time of the year as well.
Doctor Who is kicking off the week, with the Eleventh Doctor in his bowtie and fez. As we all know from watching The Doctor’s Wife, his secret name for the TARDIS is “Sexy,” though you can offer the sentiment to the geek guy or girl of your choice.

Instagram Valentine

“I’d Instagram you with no filter.”
Instagram Valentine watercolor by Amy Crook, $79
Despite their recent faux pas, I have to admit I really do enjoy the Instagram photo service. I made a Valentine for it this year, so I’m glad they backpedaled and agreed to make the language a little less awful in their new TOS. The image I painted is of a generic person icon, just a head and shoulders, done in warm terra cotta with a sepia background, on a distressed “photo.”

Harry Potter Valentines
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
Harry Potter Valentine cartoon by Amy Crook
I wanted to make a silly Harry Potter Valentine card this year for my friends who love these characters, since not all of my friends got all fannish about Sherlock the way I did. One of them suggested Snape teaching Harry to brew those candy message hearts, and after googling for some bad Latin, this is the card front.
Of course, I couldn’t stop there, we had to see the results!
Harry & Snape's Candy Hearts
As you can see, someone’s got a bit of a crush on his teacher, but Snape’s still in denial. I’m sure it’ll have a happy ending, though.

Squid Hearts You

Squid Hearts You by Amy Crook
It seems hard to believe, but Valentine’s Day is little more than a month away already. As a sort of sequel to my wintery Squittens, I made a cheerful squid valentine to show his (or maybe her) love in this year’s cards.
I had to redraw the heart a couple of times before I liked the look of it, but I’m pleased with the tangled-up joy evident in his little squiddy features.
