Sketch: Dinocorn meets Dinocorn. Love results.

And they lived happily ever after. Aww!

I had this thought yesterday, and I could not help but want to draw it out as soon as I thought of it. You see, I have a friend. She loves dinosaurs. I have several other friends who like unicorns. So naturally a combination of the two would be adorable, right? I figured that a dinosaur and unicorn hybrid probably already existed in the creative mind of some other individual/s out there (how could it not?), but I had to draw it anyway.

But I had a problem – an ever so slight one. What to name this mystical creature? Unisaur? Dinocorn? Dinosauricorn? Obviously the last two were better, but as soon as I said them in my head, the thought of a dinosaur made of corn could not be shifted! Thus, ‘Dincorn meets Dincorn’ was born.

On a slight side-note, my Facebook fan page now has over 100 likes! I am incredibly stoked to have met that milestone. Hopefully that number can keep moving up, and I can shoot into internet stardom, hey? *grin*

Sanu in SL: Love is in the air!

Sanu in Second Life: Sanura Sakai brings you… love letters! You get an envelope, and anyone who clicks it gets a cute love letter!

I know it isn’t Valentine’s Day, but I say that any time is a good time to express your love and affection for someone. So feeling in a lovey-dovey mood (as you do sometimes), today’s Sanu release includes adorable love letters and love poems!

Sanu in Second Life: Lovely love poems are just what you to brighten up your day and bring a smile to your face.

For both the love letters and the love poems, you receive an envelope, and inside each of those envelopes is an incredibly cute little note that anyone can receive if they give it a click. The love poems take on a ‘Roses are red, Violets are blue’ structure, while the love letters are a bit more free-form.

I had a heap of fun writing them… how can I not? As anyone knows, my products have a tendency to be a bit quirky, so these have poems and letters which span the whole of the love-scale. Some are funny, some are heartfelt, and there’s even a couple of poems in there that seem downright insulting. I mean, with words like ‘poo’ and ‘moo’ rhyming with ‘blue’, you can’t help but work with what you’ve got. Each poem and letter is a lovely surprise.

Stay tuned – these are certainly not the last of the love releases. I’m considering holding back some of the pieces for the second half of the Albero Gatcha Festival, but we’ll see how we go. I might give you a sneak peek sometime soon!

Sketch: Show that you care, with Cthulhu.

Kat Johnston Sketch: Show you care with the gift of cthulhu. Ok, so this would actually look kinda sucky if you actually made it, but the concept is sound!

Sorrrrrry… I know. Enough cthulhu already. I can’t help it – they’re just toooo cute! Today’s installment on the cthulhu-train is a silly not-quite-papercraft style thingime that could be (if you wanted to put something totally lame on someone’s desk for them) cut out and constructed into something cute. The fact that it is drawn on notepaper and is rough as guts does kind of detract, but I’m actually thinking that it wouldn’t be a totally bad idea for me to make one of these for realsies. It wouldn’t really be that hard to do, and how cute would it be? Super cute. Seriously, show that you care with cthulhu. Do you think it would be a hit? Would you actually want to see a completed one, able to be cut out and constructed?

So anyhow, that is about it for today. Nothing especially exciting to disclose, or let you know about. I think that we’re able to actually start putting things back into the storage room, which will be a blessing, since all of those stupid boxes have been stored in my studio, barring its use for almost 6 weeks straight. Talk about frustrating, huh?

So for today, I shall leave it at that. Enjoy your day, everbody!

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.

An Amphibian Anniversary Card.

I was sitting there, looking at one of the fly pictures this morning… and just went ‘that looks like a love-heart to me’. Flies definitely aren’t generally seen in the context of love, but perhaps if the recipient of a card with this on the front was, say, a frog? Then it might be romantic? Perhaps it could have a little note inside saying ‘Happy Anniversary. How About Dinner?’

These flies really are just far too cute for their own good… I think I’ve worked out the connection too, as to why I’ve been drawing them, perhaps. My husband had to go away for a few days. Not something he does often, mind you. Perhaps because he had to ‘fly’ to his destination, this is really just all about him? Then again, perhaps not. He got back today, and suddenly flies turn into little love-hearts. I’m not sure if that is just my odd little way of showing him I care, or it really is just that when I look at a fly upside-down, it looks that way, so I have to draw it. Minimally digitally coloured in photoshop.

I rather like the feel of the flies in this sort of a context, aligning them with a feminine, crafty feel, as if they were used on the front of a card, a motif in scrapbooking, as a pattern on gift-wrap or the basis of a quilt. They are likeable, sweet, nice… whilst simultaniously keeping their same meaning as flies, with the various associations we generally bring to them… pests, disease, death… but all wrapped up in a pretty little bow and painted pink, as it were. Well, anyway, that’s just what I wanted to play with here.

On a side-note, I just discovered a very interesting and cute little site. Perhaps you might want to check it out too. Who can resist a Flying Pizza Kitty?
