I have had the pleasure of seeing #RhysDarby perform live twice. If you ever get the chance to see him do stand-up, I highly recommend it. #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #fanart #TraditionalArt #NoAI #OFMD #WWDITS #FlightOfTheConchords

A sketchbook is open to a page featuing a pencil sketch of the comedian/actor Rhys Darby. He's looking straight at the viewer with a slightly haughty expression. His thick bangs are brushed up off his forehead, falling above his right ear. He has a blonde beard, and he is wearing a button-down shirt under a jacket.

At least one page of my current sketchbook needed to be devoted to this angel on Earth. @mchshe.bsky.social #MichaelSheen #Aziraphale #GoodOmensTV #sketch #pencil #TraditionalArt #art #NoAI #HumanCreated

A sketchbook is open to a page featuring a pencil sketch of Michael Sheen as Aziraphale from the TV series Good Omens. He's facing someone to the left with light spilling onto his features, his head quirked a little, his eyebrows raised and his lips slightly smirking, with a "Just try me!" expression. He's wearing his trademark tartan bow tie, button down shirt, velvet waistcoat, and linen overcoat. His blonde curls are brushed out around his face haphazardly.

Quote post this with something that is a circle

A round medallion, green with patina, is set in a concrete walkway, with a line of red and brown bricks running from its top and from its right side. The medallion has a decoration of leaves and flowers engraved around its edge. Inside the decorative garland is the words "The Freedom Trail Boston" engraved or stamped in the metal in the same circular pattern. In the middle of the medallion is a design like a stylized compass rose pointing the way to begin the freedom trail.

Who else has been watching #Rivals? #DavidTennant #LordTonyBaddingham #pencil #sketch #TraditionalArt #artist #NoAI #sketchbook

A sketchbook is open to a pencil sketch of David Tennant as Lord Tony Baddingham from the Disney Plus series Rivals. His thick, medium-length hair is brushed to one side in a stiff, hairsprayed 80's style. He is lookint straight at the viewer with a grim, determined scowl. His high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and tired eyes are well defined by shadows. He's wearing a striped button-down shirt with a polkadot tie and striped suspenders.

Amanda Cook@amandacook627· May 25

Started this sketch of #DavidTennant inside my house last week. Finished it today outside on my porch when we finally have some sun. #sketchbook #pencil #Rivals #TonyBaddingham #TraditionalArt #fanart #NoAI #HumanCreated

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone

A screenshot of a black and white photo of Michael Sheen looking very dapper. He's wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and holding a white chess piece on his hand while staring intently into the camera. He has a full beard and his curls are nearly brushed.

I had to do a pencil sketch to mellow my brain out. And then, I turned it into a digital drawing. #GoodOmens3 #DavidTennant #Crowley #fanart #sketch #DigitalArt #TraditionalArt #drawing #pencil #NoAI

A digital drawing of David Tennant as Crowley the demon from Good Omens 3. The drawing was made using the digital charcoal brush in the program, giving the feeling of a smudged pencil illustration in black and red charcoal. Crowley is wearing his dark, round sunglasses, and his red hair is perfectly brushed back off his forehead and temples. He's also wearing his black jacket. He has a scowl on his lips and one eyebrow is quirked up into an inverted V.

A sketchbook is open on someone's lap to a page featuring a loose pencil sketch of David Tennant as Crowley the Demon in Good Omens 3, which served as the base for the digital illustration in the previous image.

Amanda Cook@amandacook627· May 13

Good Omens 3 is here. I have finally watched it. I will not spoil it for anyone who hasn't. I will only say that it was not what I expected, but I love the characters and am glad they have an ending now. (This image was taken after S2.)

A woman dressed in black shirt, black blazer, black jeans, black boots, a gray scarf necklace, a red bouffant wig, and black sunglasses (dressed as Crowley from Good Omens) sits at a wrought iron cafe table on a concrete deck with her elbow on the table, and her chin in her hand, staring wistfully at the empty chair across from her. There's a bottle of unopened champagne and two wine glasses on the table. The trees behind her are covered in yellow leaves.

My alma mater has a fantastic student literary journal, and every so often, they open submissions to alumni. I was so happy that, for the second time, they accepted one of my poems to be published in the Spring 2026 edition. Link: c5097501-e081-4c45-a352-1b01391a7b7b.filesusr.com/ugd/0f095d_d...

A screenshot of a PDF page featuring the title of a poem, the name of the poet, and the first lines of the poem.

In a Times New Roman style font it reads "Finally, A Breath by Amanda Cook" "Early morning sun rising,/We traipse down the hill/From our house to where"

I played around with my Wacom MovinkPad after doing a rough pencil sketch of a selfie #HarveyGuillen took. The colors were too beautiful not to try to replicate them. #RockyHorrorBroadway #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #art #TraditionalArt #NoAI

A digital painting based on a selfie Harvey Guillen took of the right side of his face. He's looking down, his chin tucked and his full lips slightly open. His right eye is covered in sparkly blue shadow, which is smeared in streaks down his cheek as though he's been crying. His black curls frame the top of the portrait, and the entire picture is encircled in a dark, blurry purple haze. His face is lit in shades of dark purple and blue, as well.

W/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

A screenshot of a scene from Mad Max: Fury Road in which Furiosa is driving a beat up semi truck. The scene is a close up of her shaved head, her forehead covered in black paint, her eyes looking out the driver's side window at the hellscape beyond. She is frowning. The subtitle beneath her reads [MEN YELLING INDISTINCTLY].

Amanda Cook@amandacook627· Apr 18

I'm really excited to see the finale of this series. Also, Happy Birthday to #DavidTennant! #GoodOmens #Crowley #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #art #fanart @goodomenshq.bsky.social

A sketchbook is open to a page featuring a sketch of David Tennant as the demon Crowley in Good Omens. His eyes are yellow with thin, snakelke irises, and his hair is orange red. His bangs are brushed up and he has long sideburns, almost in a Greaser style. His thick eyebrows are furrowed, his mouth is pursed, and his chin is scrunched up in a sad grin. There appear to be tears in his eyes as he looks at Aziraphale off page. He's wearing his black jacket over a black collarless shirt open at the neck.

I sketched Pedro Pascal's face again, this time from a black and white photo shoot. The man is a chameleon. #PedroPascal #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #art #artist #CoolAF

A sketchbook is open to a page featuring a pencil sketch of Pedro Pascal. His dark curls are brushed elegantly off his face. He's wearing large ovalish glasses and a white button-down shirt with a tuxedo collar. His lips are pursed in a side grin and his face is mostly clean shaven with some stubble along his upper lip.

Here's a schedule they shared on Instagram.

A screenshot of a schedule of Artemis II's fly by of the moon. Times are listed in Eastern Daylight Time, including when the crew will lose contact with the Earth for 40 minutes around 6:44 pm and when they'll make their closest approach to the moon around 7:02 pm.

We've been watching #Daredevil Born Again, and I've really been loving this Matt Murdock. Charlie Cox is always amazing in everything be does. #Marvel #sketch #pencil #TraditionalArt #ColoredPencil #art #illustration

A sketchbook is open to a page featuring a pencil sketch of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again. He is wearing his red sunglasses and his hair is well groomed. He has a half smirk on his face as he straightens his black tie. He's wearing a striped suit jacket and white collared shirt, and there is blood on his right temple, lower lip, and knuckles.

I desperately needed to paint with traditional watercolors today. But first, I desperately needed to take a walk outside and breathe in the signs of Spring. #watercolor #painting #magnolia #photography #flowers

A watercolor painting of a magnolia blossom on the end of its branch. The flower is bright pink and lavender at its base fading to creamy white at its tips. There are branches with buds and leaves surrounding the open blossom.

I love how openly cool and nerdy my town is. We have a statue of Captain Janeway in a prominent position along our busiest city trail right outside our children's science museum. Because our city is her future birthplace. (Please enjoy an old sketch I did of the captain, as well.)

A sketchbook is open to a pencil sketch of Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. Her hair is up in her signature chignon and she is wearing her Starfleet uniform with three of the four pips visible on the collar.

A statue of Captain Kathryn Janeway with the bust ot Capatain Janeway, her arms crossed and her hair in a bob, on top of a plinth in the shape of a Starfleet communicator. The large plaque on the plinth below the bust of Janeway lists her city of birth (Bloomington, Indiana) and her future birthday, May 20, 2336.

I tried my hand at sketching a portrait of my favorite 19th century American author, #LouisaMayAlcott, inspired by the art of her younger sister May. #sketch #sketchbook #art #pencil #LittleWomen

An old photograph of 19th century American writer, Louisa May Alcott. Her long, dark hair is crimped in the front and pulled back into an updo with a ribbon that runs along her crown. Her expression is solemn and she wears a dark dress with buttons down the front and trimmed with wide ruffles and a white lace collar.

Amanda Cook@amandacook627· Mar 20

If you ever get the chance to visit the home of one of your favorite authors of classic American literature, I highly recommend it. One fewer items on the bucket list for me. #OrchardHouse #LittleWomen #LouisaMayAlcott

A woman in a purple knit hat, mOraroon wool peacoat, and dark glasses takes a picture in front of the sign for Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House, which proclaims it as the "Home of Little Women".

If you're in NYC, I highly recommend seeing "Oh, Mary" on Broadway. This run of cast includes John Cameron Mitchell as Mary Todd Lincoln and Simu Liu as her "teacher". It's very funny. You'll never look at the Lincolns the same way again. #OhMary #SimuLiu

A person is holding a yellow playbill for the Broadway play "Oh, Mary!". It includes the title of the play underneath a black and white portrait of John Cameron Mitchell dressed as Mary Todd Lincoln in a black dress with a white collar and a cameo brooch. He is also wearing a curly wig. A stage with a curtain with red fringe under purple lighting can be seen.

Actor Simu Liu, dressed in a waistcoat, puffy sleeved white shirt, and brown breeches stands on a stage in front of a red curtain. He looks at the audience while reading from a book.

I'm really enjoying my Wacom MovinkPad. Took a pencil sketch I did of a barred owl (from an image I took of one in our woods) and did a digital painting of it. #art #DigitalPainting #TraditionalSketch #owl #photography

A digital watercolor painting of a tan and brown barred owl with large, black sleepy eyes and an orange-yellow beak and talons. The owl is sitting on a gray branch and looking curiously at the viewer.

A pencil sketch in a sketchbook of the sleepy owl in the digital painting in the previous image.

A photo of the sleepy barred owl that was the inspiration for the pencil sketch and the digital painting. It is sitting on a bent tree branch surrounded by bare trees.

More Wacom MovinkPad 11 shenanigans! This time I took a pencil sketch of #MichaelSheen and played around with the oil painting brushes. Mixing colors is hard! #DigitalPainting #sketch #sketchbook #art @mchshe.bsky.social

A digital painting of Michael Sheen with his salt and pepper curls fluffed up around his face. He has a salt and pepper beard and he is wearing a brown coat over a cream vest and brown scarf. The sky is blue behind him.

I also used the MovinkPad 11 to take a picture of my sleepy dog and try my hand at imitating Monet. #DigitalArt #art #dog

A digital painting of a white dog with brown spots around his eyes and ears and a large spot near his bum. He is curled up sleepily on a tan couch.

I bought a Wacom MovinkPad 11, which is a fancy Android tablet for digital drawing and painting. Uploaded the picture of my pencil sketch of the Tenth Doctor and messed around with the digital brushes and colors today. It's a mess, but I still like it. #DavidTennant #DoctorWho #art #sketch

A digital painting of a sketch of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. He is leaning his cheek against a white wall and his long fingers are also pressed against it. He frowns wistfully as he tries to listen for Rose Tyler in another universe on the other side.

We're getting a finale, finally (May 13th)! #GoodOmens #DavidTennant #Crowley #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #art #fanart

A sketchbook is open to a page featuring a sketch of David Tennant as the demon Crowley from Good Omens. His shoulder length red hair is swept up and over in a deep side part by the wind to fall over his left temple. His yellow demon eyes are uncovered and his lips are pressed together in a sad or determined expression. He's wearing his black jacket with wide lapels.

Apropos of nothing, I wrote this poem last year. Funny (or not so funny) that it applies even more today. #BelieveWomen

Image of a poem typed out in an Arial style font:

This sheep’s eyes are clear now

You wormed your way into our thoughts,
Inspired with your pretty words,
Enthralled with your honeyed tongue.

You wormed your way into our lives,
But I don’t think worm is bad enough
For you, because the gentle earthworm

Is far more useful, converting decaying matter
Into fertile soil, helping life extend and abound.
The rot you’ve left in your wake is nothing

But a stench even flies won’t touch.
There are those who would name you
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, but I’d never

Denigrate that sharp-eyed, majestic predator.
You were never as noble as the wolf,
Who uses its talents for its community,

The poem continues:

Preying only for their survival, and not
For the greedy gratification you demand
From those you prey upon yourself.

You wore the guise of a meek and mild
Lamb, someone who could never hurt
A fly. Oh no! Not me! How could I

Possibly have done some of
The things they said I did?
But the soft muzzle has been stripped away,

The lambskin ripped to shreds.
You’re nothing but a broken man who,
In your brokenness, delights (or not)

In breaking those you deem beneath you.
Your voice is salt poured on an open wound,
Your words, the muck at the bottom

Of a polluted lake. The only inspiration
You could gift me now is this poem.
I hope the world ends up eating you alive.

The inimitable Catherine O'Hara. May her memory be a blessing. (I wish I could attach the music that goes along with this iconic scene.) #DeliaDeetz #Beetlejuice #fanart #sketch #pencil #art
