  • Fly me to the Moon…

    Fly me to the moon, Let me play among the stars, Let me see what spring is like, On a-Jupiter and Mars…

    My sketch for the afternoon – look, all the recent ones have been in my little sketchbook! I’m doing good. Well, I think so anyway.

    This one brings to mind that little song… you know… Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars… Why was it drawn? Not to illustrate that song at all… just because I have little cities that crop up when I want something random to sketch sometimes – no rhyme or reason to them, other than the fact that they are fun… interesting… a play more of pattern and shape than of anything possibly possible. Scale is no issue, obviously, since the little men that are hanging out in my city today must be massive if they were to conform to any sort of standard within… I don’t know… it works anyway, doesn’t it?

    Alrighty, that is all for today – I never seem to be able to throw up much on here on the weekends. I blame my wonderful husband for it, since he is currently calling me over for snuggles. On a day like this, snuggles seem more appealing than trying to think up something witty or poignant to write for here.

  • Hickory Dickory Dock (is the moon really made from green cheese?).

    See? I am a good girl occasionally… two whole pictures in one night. Lucky you, wonderful viewers.

    For some reason I wanted to do a clock towery type of thing last night that wan’t quite as straight as a regular tower might generally be… the rest just grew from that. I have no idea, really, why there is a solitary clock-tower, sitting in a field, pointing at just a little after two in the supposed morn… Perhaps that is the best time for little ratties (even if he should be, by all accounts a rather large mouse) to perch and watch the moon whilst thinking of what he might achieve, if only he could stretch just that little further to take a bite of the fabled cheese that seemingly dangles just out of reach.

  • Bunny in the Moon.

    \'Bunny in the Moon\' by Kat Johnston

    My little dead bunny in the moon. A rough pencil sketch, then traced in black ink pen, coloured then in photoshop because I had nothing incredibly much better to do. Yay for my dead bunny!

    I will state that after the fact, I thought that it would be a good idea to give the bunny a rice-cake to hold… but I decided not to alter the picture. Different people see different things in the moon – in Japan, rather than seeing ‘the man in the moon’, the traditional image is that of a rabbit making rice-cakes.
