Featuring the artwork, musings and sketches of Brisbane-based artist Kat Johnston. Updated daily with regular content.
The line up the top of this one actually has nothing to do with this actual little sketch… it was two incredibly different thoughts on the same page. These two came about because I saw an interesting crease in one of the business shirts hanging to dry - this was drawn on a corner of my page soon after. Just for fun, I’ve included the other picture after the cut.
Pacman got a mistress. There was Mrs Pacman. Complete with a little red bow to declare her feminine nature. However, I have never once seen a ghostie with a bow.
Pacman really isn’t all that great a super hero, is he? I mean, Superman was super, Spiderman had spider-like powers… If you look up dictionary.com, you’ll see that a ‘pac’ is either a moccasin or a political action commitee… not quite as exciting, don’t you agree? I think the ghosties get a bad rap… its not their fault that they chase after Pacman - he looks like pizza! They should really be the heroes, don’t you think? I think they deserve a few Mrs Ghosties, too. Remember, ghosties are people too… just dead ones.
After a few good weeks of frustration, late nights, and other such fun, www.katjohnston.com is up and running. Thank you to all who have shown me support as I’ve developed this site. There are still a few little things to iron out: eg, the dark comment text… don’t worry, I’m working on it!
The gallery will be updated with content as soon as possible.
So… please update your bookmarks to this new site, tell all your friends about it, and I may just give you a cookie. A virtual cookie. Mmmm, cookies.
Ok, I’m doing my last little bits of tweaking on the new location for this blog and it should be up and running by this time tomorrow. Not long now! So… until then… I would reccommend holding your comments until I’m done with the new site! It will be bigger, better, sexier, and more importantly, I’ve custom-styled it myself.
As for today’s picture, its actually influenced by my new banner picture. I don’t draw the ‘long’ eyes like that all that often. Sure is fun though. Ok, I am off to do my last little bits and pieces of tweaking. I’ll post an announcement when the new and improved site is up and running!
This is Jenny. Jenny is not a happy camper.
I think that I’m obsessed… again. Spirit fingers: is there anything more cool? I was asked today, when I was showing a friend of mine the pictures of these owls if I had watched ‘Bring it On’ recently. Actually no - spirit fingers are so cool, they need no movie prompts!
Two more pictures of owls after this one after the cut.
“You mean I’m not old enough to properly appreciate roasted quail yet, Dad? You’re not going to waste good silver on me when I can have rainbow trout? Awww…”
This picture is for Elentari who requested that I draw with the word ‘Sandy’, which is the name of her boyfriend’s pet (the Rake) in World of Warcraft. Should he ever be forced into having to choose between her and Sandy… odds are Sandy’ll win. Perhaps I might throw up another picture for her of an anthropomorphized Sandy as a pin-up model, because despite the fact that the Rake is most clearly a male… Sandy is most decidedly female for mister Tim *cheeky grin*. That is a job for another day though, methinks!
And this is just proof of that. Sorry Elentari, I’m still working on getting something perfect for your Sandy request. I know, I know, I promised not to do portraity type things today, but it just didn’t turn out that way. Non-portraits tomorrow!
As a very special treat for today: another follow-up picture to go with the one above. Just click to enter the post, and you’ll get to see your special treat for today. Yay spirit fingers!

A quick update of ‘My Darling Marie’, with a few extra features… such as hair…. and just the barest little touch of colour. I’m having fun with my pencils. I guess I haven’t touched them in so long, they feel all new and novel again *laughs*.
I’ve just realized that you are getting quite an excess of portrait type pictures… tomorrow: something un-portraity… promise.
