Obsessed with Elephants.

Kat Johnston sketch - isn't it the cutest little elemaphant you ever did see? Isn't it?

Ok… not really. I’ve just had a fun day playing about with them. I doubt that I’m going to be drawing them straight for a week (I think…) but they are something I like. Tonight, I was lucky enough to cook for a couple of friends who just flew home from their Christmas celebrations, and one of them saw my little elephant… and liked it! She wants me to so an elephant-turtle hybrid… I think that is going to have to be tomorrow’s task, for it is getting a mite too late for it to happen this evening. Well… not if I wish any chance at a successful melding of the two, in any case. That one is going to require a little thought to get right, I believe.

Anyhow, that is it for tonight!

Heartbroken… what am I to do?

Kat Johnston - its heartbreak... I hope the little bunny can get through it.

Said the bunneh, as his heart broke into two even pieces. He kept one – the other went to his love, whether he willed it or no. It would be a long time before that shattered portion could be regained, if ever. When a bunny’s heart is broken, it must quest to find the piece which was lost to them. It is not an easy thing to find, especially for a bunny who is so small and so sad, for having lost it in the first place. There are few things in life more disheartening to look upon than a depressed bunny.

Oh my… what an odd little thing to think of today, hmm? I still have bunnies on the brain, it seems! I think I am going to have to search myself, for this little bunny’s heart… It saddens me to see him so sad, sitting there wistfully hoping for the pieces to be stitched back together with fine thread – always to leave a scar, but at least it would be whole again. Being a bunny is not easy, you know.

Closing in on the new year.

Kat Johnston sketch - bright eyed and bushy tailed as we approach the new year.

Its getting closer and closer to the new year, and I can hardly believe that it is nearly 2009 – which just happens to be one year closer to 2010! Side-note, I just used ‘closer’ three times in the same sentence… that may just be a record. Anyhow, I must admit, I find that a little weird (about the year, not the words). Counting down to 2000 really seems not that long ago to me and now we’re nearly into the teens. I think I’ll find it even more odd when we get into the roaring 20′s!

A belated Merry Christmas and all that stuff.

Kat Johnston - oh yeah... boxing day is soooo productive this year!
Boxing day is never meant to be a productive day. I deem it so. It is a day for relaxing with your hubby (at least in my case… you may not have a hubby…), sitting back, watching a movie or two and snuggling most of the day away.

So, it is a quick post this evening just to say ‘Merry Christmas’ properly, though it is a day late. So… Merry Christmas all! I hope your year was a good one, and that an even better one will follow, and all that sort of hopeful and happy and positive type stuff I’m meant to say at this time of year. You get the drift!

A little virtual fashion.

Kat Johnston - some virtual photography for the day.

I thought I’d take a side-step today and show what I was up to this morning. Something that I rather enjoy is taking photographs in Second Life, capturing some of the beautiful worlds and things that people have created in this ‘game’. I use the term game very loosely, mind you.

Anyhow, I decided to pop back to one of the sims that I absolutely adore. It is incredibly well made, and perfect for taking a few photos of my avvie, especially when the blue of my outfit and the blue of the area just matched so perfectly! I did promise no green today, didn’t I? I’m just skipping a little further down the spectrum for you!

Anyhow, the original photo was a bit rougher… I did some retouching to smooth out some of the more major jagged edges and make it more presentable as a ‘finished’ sort of work… though if I am honest with myself, it could rather use a bit more work on it if it were for something important rather than as a replacement for my own desktop background. Now I just have to rearrange a few icons, and I’m sorted.

Oh… and by the way… Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
