Sketch: Mew? Tuna Plz.

Kat Johnston Sketch: 'Mew? Tuna, please,' says the kitten to the crowd, 'I'd like my dinner now.'

‘Mew? Tuna, please,’ said the kitten to the crowd, ‘I’d like my dinner now, if you would be so kind.’

No-one had expected this. No-one for a moment had even an inkling that the Feline Alliance would so quickly overcome the opposition of the human factions. Truth is, cats had been priming the homo-sapiens for thousands of years into a state of somewhat-subservience. It wasn’t really too much of a leap to make that final move to quash remaining rebellion within the midst of mankind. No-one can resist cute kitten eyes. Especially not me.

With a reluctant sigh and a downcast gaze, I crumbled, fetching from the glistening counter-top the very last sachet of premium ‘Tasty Tuna Delight Kitty Chow with Hairball Control’, tipping it into the spoilt feline’s dish and setting it on the ground beside me. Lolita had won yet again. Dinner was early tonight.

Kittens, smittens, another pointless post.

Kat Johnston Sketch - Cat, I'm a kitty cat, and I meow meow meow and I meow meow meow.

Its days like these where I wonder if I should post something… because I really don’t have anything to post. Yes, there is the picture, but even that is not the greatest: its just a quick sketch and not a masterpiece by any account. But I’m throwing it up anyway. I committed to a creative product a day, so be damned if I am going to not do it just because the picture isn’t great. Gotta take the good with the bad, really, or at least the good with the ‘not so great’.

Lets call this a dry-spell, shall we? The past week or so has certainly not been the greatest example of steller sketches being thrown up. It is average at best. I suppose, though, that something is better than nothing even when assignment work is sucking the drive out of me, and apparently, the creativity. I must admit, I sometimes find it a little difficult to be ‘artistically creative’ when my mind has to get into ‘analytical writing mode’ for assignments. Its not the analytical thought, I think, that does it: I actually think it is just the focus. When my mind is so pre-occupied thinking about how I am going to write this, or position that, for a few days it just drives out everything else. I can still sketch and draw, I can set aside time to be ‘creative’, but for some reason, inspiration for my assignments seems to strike at that time and I get drawn back into thinking about that again. Its quite infuriating, really.

Ok… that was one big mass of boring. I need to go sketch something decent to throw up tomorrow. Perhaps an owl.

Requested: Here Kitty Kitty…

Kat Johnston - Here kitty kitty, come have some fishie treats...

A very quick post today, so forgive me for not being eloquent! Still pulling together a group assignment for my university coursework and putting final touches on it. This is a sketch done a little while back when I was fulfilling a ‘request’ sketch for a friend… this was one of the first quick sketches I did to do my impression of Sandy, a friend’s pet (lion) from World of Warcraft. My first thought was a very cheeky young lady indeed. Cheeky -and- sneaky.

If you happen to want to give me a request for a picture, just drop a suggestion into the comments section of one of these posts, and I’ll see what I can do! It can be anything – a word or a phrase, a link to a photo… just throw something you think might be inspirational my way, and I’ll do a quick sketch with it.

Requested: Lady Leo.

Kat Johnston - Lady Leo is a perfect combination of cute and crazed... kinda like the person that drew her.

Only just lightly coloured… perhaps I will follow this one through and colour her fully, because I like her! The request was from Lindsay, throwing together the words ‘leo’ and ‘chain’ for me to play with in a comment left for the last post.

Yum-Yum-Yum-Yum…

Kat Johnston - Kittens are cute. Seriously cute. Meow!

Really only a quick post for today, because I have a project proposal to complete.

Not much to say with this one, except to ask one very big, very important question… Have you ever noticed that if you say ‘meow-meow-meow-meow’ over and over it starts sounding like ‘yum-yum-yum-yum’?

One more question for the road… Do librarian kitties dream of microfiche?
