  • Jenny is Suitably Impressed.

    Kat Johnston - Nothing makes a girl happy like a rat infestation and a top-hat.

    A second picture post for today, to celebrate the fact that I just checked, and www.katjohnston.com comes first for a search for (you guessed it) the search term ‘Kat Johnston’! Considering that the page has only been live for a grand total of 4 days, I think that is pretty good. In proper celebratory style, I enjoyed a small bowl of peppermint choc-chip ice-cream. It was most delicious.

    Jenny is making a reappearance, this time with her bevy of rattus rattus to keep her company. She’s much more cheerful this time, as you may note. The girl has a fierce temper, but she does seem to love it when things go right too.

  • 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.

  • 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*.

  • 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.
