Sketch: I know something you don’t know.

Published on July 27, 2010 in Plain Paper, Portraits and Sketch. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

This is my sketch for today. Since I am going to be spending most of the day cleaning, I thought that I had best get it out of the way nice and early! I’m not quite sure what this lovely lass is trying to say, but from her expression I am assuming it is something along the lines of, “I know something you don’t know.” It is as if she has a wonderfully decadent, juicy secret she is keeping just for the pleasure of calling it her own.

So anyhow, my project of today is to get my studio clean, in addition to the rest of the house.It wasn’t as if the studio was in a particularly huge mess before, by the way. I just like to do a big sort every now and again to get things neat, tidy and findable.

Supplies upon supplies have already been sorted and stored, tucked into individual boxes for different types of things. Sewing supplies in one, yarn and knitting in another… a drawer here for paints, and another for brushes, palette knives, and other assorted things with which to apply paint. So really, the major parts are done! Now it is just all those last finicky touches to put the finishing polish on the room, and I can finally relax.

Sketch: So, there’s a badge press in the mail…

There is a badge press in the mail, and I am going to have sooooo much fun with it. I can make a badge for any occasion! Husband a little stinky? That could be a badge. A friend does something awesome? I can send them a badge to celebrate! My sister aces a test? I can write ‘Accounting Genius’ on a piece of paper, cut it out, and pin it to her shirt to show her just how proud I am rather than saying it just like everyone else.

So I’m going to go ahead and start doing a little designing before it gets here. I have a feeling that this is going to be the basis for my first badge. For some reason I just feel the need to be all cute and couplesie by having a badge featuring a cartoon version of my husband on it. I can put it on my bag!

So yes… if you happen to see a few roundish sketches over the next few days, do not be alarmed: I have not suddenly found myself lacking the ability to draw in a non-round format, I’m just floating ideas for cute little badges for most any occasion!

Sketch: So glad you made it!

Hi Mum!

So this may well be the first time that my mother has sat down and read through some of my blog. If she decides to go through post by post, she’s going to be reading for quite a while. When this post is finished, it will be number 347! That, to me at least, is a lot of posts!

Oh, and don’t worry, Mum… Jenny is just pretending to be sour. She isn’t really.

That got me to thinking – what is my mother going to think? What is she going to be faced with, assuming that she has at least a brief look through all 347 posts?

Flies. She’s going to be faced with flies. And faces. And owls, and rats, and most definitely bunnies, too. There will be dandelions, daydreams, and random musings on characters which have only really ever existed in my head and on the piece of paper scanned in for that particular post. She’ll even be faced, on more than a couple of occasions, with Jenny. Honestly, I think she’s going to come to the conclusion that I am quite random indeed!

Does your mum read your blog?

Sketch: Time for another owl.

Kat Johnston: Little Chester is an excited little owl!

Surprisingly enough, ‘sketches for owls’ is one of the most popular search-terms people use to lead them to this site. Considering that I have not done a sketch of an owl in quite a while for here, something a little more current in the owl category certainly could not go astray, right?

Thus, I bring you Chester. Chester is an owl. He is also very excited.

I’m honestly not all that sure about what it is that Chester appears so excited about, but I am sure it is something good!

Oh wait… I think I know what it is after all… you see, I’ve decided that after having the site as it is for a year, it is time that I started giving it the attention it deserves and do a redesign of it. So, uh, yeah… keep tuned! Sorry this is just a short post today, but I have to get to work. Phew.

Sketch: My heart belongs to Old Spice Guy.

Kat Johnston Sketch: My heart belongs to Old Spice Guy.

Ok, I’ll admit it… I still think that it is beyond awesome that my tweet got picked to get a personalized response by the Old Spice Guy on youtube. From the surely thousands of questions that would have been propelled towards the Old Spice team, it feels really great to be one of the ordinary people who got a personal reply. This was my tweet:

“@OldSpice If Old Spice was originally for the ladies (as Wiki states), are you certain these new scents are quite manly enough?”

I was informed that Old Spice was originally for the ladies (this is the wiki article I was referring to), but its many very manly side-effects made it more suitable for the menfolk. He even did air-quotes around the ‘as Wiki states’ bit!

That video has now racked up over 76,000 views. How awesome is that?

Annnnnyhow, onto other things!

For those of you who would have picked up the Hootie Set last weekend at Sanu in Second Life, you might recognize the picture today! It is a similar blue heart, and a bit of a sneak peek at a new little product which will be out soon. I’ve been so flat-out with things lately that I haven’t had time to finish them up yet though, so it might take a few days before they’re out. Right this second I am so flat out with real life thingies and the Blur exhibition in Second Life that I just haven’t had time to finalize them yet. Doh!

That’s all for now, in any case. The Blur exhibition opens up tomorrow, and once I am finished with everything for that, I will be sure to post pictures of my contributions. I’m really exciting to be taking part in it!
