  • Lucy.

    \'Lucy\' by Kat Johnston

    This lovely little lady is miss Lucy. Lucy is a hair-doll. She has been created with the discarded strands of hair that part from my tresses as they are dutifully washed, cleansed and made all nice, shiny and presentable for the world. The least I can do for those brave strands of hair that would face the world away from their brethren is wind them all together and personify them for you all to see and adore just as much as I do.

    This is actually a sketch I have been meaning to do for a little while now… I have a -lot- of hair and needless to say, each time I wash it, a certain amount does come away… I’ve never actually made a hair-doll from my hair, but I can’t say I haven’t considered doing it *grin*.

  • Little Flower.

    \'Little Flower\' by Kat Johnston

    Awww… here is the sketch for today. Exciting, huh? Now, when you think about it, that is one really really small flower when you take into account the relative sizes of things – even if you consider that that roughly drawn swiss may be from a rather large round of cheese. Perhaps it is not really a flower. Perhaps it is one little spear from the head of a wayward dandelion clock having struck 13:02 for some rosey-faced child out to find the time in a far more organic manner than can be obtained from looking at their digital watch. I suppose it is really irrelevant either way, but still something to muse over nonetheless.

    For your interest, just in case you can’t actually tell… this sketch and the one previous are not all that large. The rose in the previous post might be about three inches by three inches… this one is probably about the same. Just in case size -does- matter *grin*.

  • Dragonling Dreaming.

    \'Dragonling Dreaming\' by Kat Johnston

    A friend of mine decided that she wanted a picture drawn for her… a picture of what I thought she would be dreaming of as she laid down to a nap. I think, perhaps, that she may have been dreaming of other things. However if it were I laying down for that nap, I have a feeling that this delicate lady would have been first and foremost in my mind.

    Its a long walk home after a good night out and an even harder one when you are doing it by your lonesome… but why let that get you down when you have on a lovely frock, it is a moonlit path you walk down and there is naught but a chill evening breeze to disturb your thoughts? Not the greatest sketch in the world… but I like it none-the-less.

  • Hello World.

    \'Triumphant Warrior\' by Kat Johnston

    My first post of this magnificent blog. Who ever thought that I would take this step? I never thought I would. However, there is no time like the present to move along with things and show the world what I do, even if it is silly little sketches in a lecture notebook.

    I meant to wait to do this, until I had mastered doing my own themes for WordPress. Or perhaps I was more waiting for that perfect moment when I had a good body of work behind me: things that I could be proud of showing off to the world in a portfolio that was comprehensive and impressive. Instead, I’m going with the ‘no time like the present’ mentality and just getting on with it. Even if no-one ever peeks into this blog, at least it is something that might get me consistantly creating, even on those silly days when I hardly pick up a pen.

    So… the very first piece is the one pictured above. Ballpoint pen, lined lecture note-pad and little more than a line of text from a digital story script – my little triumphant warrior was born. Mayhaps he was not the one to slaughter these impressive foes that lay beneath him, but he will certainly take the credit for the feat… so long as there is no-one else more worthy of the claim around to dispute it.
