  • Sketch and Update: A tiny companion.

    Kat Johnston Art: A tiny rat companion sits inside a keyhole within the chest of a most delicate dame.

    Ahhhh, more of the same… can you tell that I am enjoying this? They’re beautiful, delicate, distinguished and ever so intriguing, don’t you think?

    So anyhow… I’ve finally gotten around to sorting out my things on Flickr so that all of my blog drawings (if not all of the blog photos, for certain reasons) are up. I’ve sorted them out, and there’s even a special category for the creative commons licensed photos so that you can just click on that to get them all at once, rather than having to find them one at a time scattered across the different sets.

    All thrown in together, it all seems rather random: sketches here, cooking there, some pictures of dandelions and other such things. Hopefully the collections and sets will help it seem a touch more structured!

    So yes… check out my Flickr page and explore the sets to see what you can see!

  • Update/Sketch: Bite me. Oh, and I’ve done some flickr updating too.

    Kat Johnston: There are some bunnies that are cute and cuddly – others just say ‘bite me’.

    Phew… done… at least for now. I’ve been working studiously away today, trying to get a good amount of the sketches here up onto my Flickr account so that it doesn’t go un-used. As a visual artist, it seems silly not to take advantage of Flickr for all that it’s worth. Although I haven’t gone through and tagged them all or sorted out proper descriptions, at least I’ve now got a good amount of pictures up with links back to the site.

    I’ve also installed a new little filtery thingie, to hopefully stop so much spam getting through to be caught by Akismet. I hate to think of legitimate comments getting caught by the spam filter, so I do also go through them by hand just to make sure. With upwards of 100 comments within 24 hours getting into the spam queue though, it’s getting a mite ridiculous. Here’s to hoping that this reduces it by a little. If not, it’s time to move onto the next attempt at a solution.

    Some of you may have noticed that the gallery has been taken down from here for a while – the tab is still up, but there is nothing in it in the way of, uhhh, pictures! Never fear – I’ve been looking into new gallery systems to improve upon the one I had up. The one I had up had no option for nested galleries and seemed to error when pictures were not utilizing a specific sizing system. Therefore, it was doubtless time for a change. When it is back up and running (hopefully soon), I will let you know!

    Thanks for sticking around and seeing what I’ve got going on here, guys. Please never hesitate to let me know about any improvements you would like to see happen with the site, either in the comments of a post or by utilizing the contact form.

  • Update and Sanu: Another new hair… and integration.

    Sanu Stuff: Another new hair style, Anayla. Slim and refined at the front with an elegant piled look at the back.

    Another hair is up at the store, the Anayla. I could write about it, but pictures really do say what words cannot. Anyhow, that is not the main reason I am writing this post.

    Although I know it is going to be some measure of work, I have decided to integrate the Sanu and regular photostreams. Since the creation of the Sanu flickr account, my main one has sat relatively untouched. Since I have made moves to integrate both Sanu and art related things into the one blog, I’ve also decided to do so with the flickr accounts. For that matter, I’ve decided to start actually using the account for my artistic stuff, which is something I have neglected to do for quite some time. Sooooo… expect me to start putting my blog images onto the account. It’ll take a while, but it’ll get there! I’m going to start from day one, and just see it all the way through.

    On that note, the old Sanu account will remain active and I will not be pulling down the images from that account to put them on the new one. Not at this point, in any case. Phew! That’s all for now. Please update your contacts and start checking out the new stream! The button to the right will now take you directly to the Kat Johnston/Sanura Sakai stream… no need to look up the separate addy for Sanu.

  • Announcement: All A-twitter and now on Flickr.

    Kat Johnston - Flies are flies and they fly most flyfully... that makes no sense.

    Three pictures of flies in a row, and I can tell that it is starting to become a mini-obsession… but that is generally the way it is, when I find something that tweaks my interest enough. It will grab me for a few days straight, then become a ‘regular’ obsession, to join all the rest. I don’t think that this picture is done… but I need to throw up something today, so this is it.

    Just an update on the site and on me: I’ve added a twitter feed to the sidebar, so if you pop by throughout the day, you can see what I’m up to! Either that, or you can follow me on twitter itself – my username is KatJohnston, or just click here to see my current profile page.

    I have also set up a Flickr account, and have uploaded two sets of photos taken of my wonderful city. You can find them here and here. I will be periodically adding to the Flickr photos and will update you as they become available.
