  • Sketch/Sanu: I just finished a spider.

    Kat Johnston – this is an ice-cream spider. No ice-cream float… that’s not wicked enough!

    As is the way, names for things often differ from place to place. When I mention that I’m going to go drink a spider, when I say it to someone who isn’t from Australia, I’m likely to get a few raised brows. Understandably so, I suppose. Anyhow, that is why I drew this picture today. Its my own awesome concoction! Skully spider with whipped cream! Actually, the one I had was a raspberry ripple vanilla ice-cream in raspberry soda… it was delicious.

    Alrighty… onto the Sanu stuff for today.

    Sanu Stuff: bunny and ant, spliced into one. Mad scientist? I think not. Genius? Yes!

    In case you haven’t had the chance to see, the Sanu store has had a reworking out the front. A friend of mine went ‘Oh no! I’m going to get giant ants!’ when I dropped a giant gummy bear at her home… and thus the giant bunny-ants were born. This, however, is a far smaller shoulder-pet sized one… with a bow!

    Sanu Stuff: bunny-ants as pets… who’da thunk it?

    And there’s the signage for it. Not overly inspired, I know… but they’re a bit hard to photo. They look freakin’ awesome though, promise! I’m thinking of trying my hand at bunny butterflies too. How cute would they be, huh?

    Anyhow, that’s it for today, I think… I have some ice-cream monocles to finish up, and then some lollipops to photograph, and, and and… it never ends!

  • Trick or treat?

    Kat Johnston sketch - just something rough to consider the season we're coming into... yay for pumpkins! Eeeevil pumpkins.

    This is just a quick little sketch thrown up because I can’t -not- put up a sketch of my own today… even if it is rather late in the evening for another post. Rather halloween inspired, I suppose!

    You know… I’ve never tried pumpkin pie. Perhaps it is because I do generally have a bit of an aversion to pumpkins – they are certainly not my favourite food in the world. I rather enjoy a good home-made pumpkin soup, but pumpkin itself, not so much. Especially since it doesn’t like me. That’s right, pumpkin does not like me. One attacked me when I was innocently going about my business, so I’ll just assume that they all aren’t all that partial to me.

    I was just casually walking up the back steps of my little home one fine day, when one lunged at me and tried to eat my foot. It got away with nearly breaking a toe, but luckily nothing too serious. I can’t say I don’t blame them for not liking me though… I wouldn’t particularly like being blended up and served with a nice crusty bread-roll either.

    A note for anyone visiting when I’m out of the house: please leave gifts of pumpkins where I can see them without having to look down. Even better? Bake them into a pie for me so that I can give it a go.

    Kat Johnston - There once was a lady who swallowed a fly...

    There once was a lady that swallowed a fly… I have no idea why flies are coming into my sketches over the past couple of days… but they’re cute, aren’t they? Perhaps this is the lady of the true flies… the flies with only two wings! *laughs* To be honest, I don’t think she’s overly fussed either way… so long as they have a little crunch to them. Yesterday’s sketch is far better than this one, in my opinion… but I am throwing this one up anyway.
