Okay, ganked from who ganked from who ganked from I dunno who...

Aaaaand here weee go! I am a sucker for shuffle games. Since I don't have an iPod I'm using the stuff I got here on iTunes. Same thing basically...

1: Put your iPod/ mp3 on Shuffle.
2: Write down the first lines from the first twenty songs.
3: Post it in your journal as one song.

Here's my song!
I call it One Man Band a Little in Love Ain't No Dunebuggy in the Desert on Venturea Highway Volcano Making me Very Happy Finding a Way to my Kitchen Do You Wanna Hold Me Out in the Country Magnificent Chest Fever.....ok ok that's too long....

Here it is, anyhow. Watch out it's a real tear jerker. Also a love song.

Ain’t no two ways about it, I just can’t live without ya
It’s been so long you say you’ve had fun
Captured effortlessly, that's the way it was
Little blind spider took the wheel
The breeze that I’m expecting is blowing my direction
Now I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know where I’m a-gonna go when the Volcano blows
I lost at love before…got mad and closed the door
You wanna get close to me, the feeling so clear
Better come in my kitchen because it’s goin’ to be rainin’ outside
Children I wanna warn ya, cause I been to California
When you’re in love you know you’re in love, no matter what you try to do
Whenever I need to leave it all behind, or feel the need to get away
Finally found someone to watch the sunset with
See the curtains hangin’ in the window in the evening on a Friday night
I know she’s a tracker, any scarlet would back her
Look what’s happenin’ on the street! Got a revolution, got a revolution!
Long ago in London Town a man called Ant sat deeply sighing
I’m so glad! I’m so glad! I’m glad I’m glad I’m glaaaad!
Chewing on a piece of grass, walkin’ down the road
I can’t stay much longer Melinda, the sun is getting high.

Hey, just wanted to wish y'all a merry Christmas...sorry I ain't been saying a whole lot lately. I have been muuuy busy. But not that it's all pretty mch over, I hope I can drag out the drawin stuff and get busy again!

I hope you guys all had a great time.

See you around!

I really have a lot of goals set for the upcoming Christmas break. I hope I can get this all in. I plan on staying home and trying to draw a LOT.

Firstly, no I have not forgotten about this:

I am going to try and knock those out during the break.

I won't get *finished* with it, but the first Fantastic Felixii (a.k.a. "Surprise Party" a.k.a. "Kat's Birthday Comic") will get worked on. I hope to color the current page and get another up. We'll see! Here's hoping. These are now getting posted in their own section at DrunkDuck, too: [link]

I'd like to try and do another Compozerz page too. I am really digging myself in deep here ain't I?

This will probably be my next project--the winner of my "Capture my 50,000th Pageviews" was and his request for a drawing was my rendition of Jake McCormick, an OC by .

Need to finish this collab with
(you can view different stages of my progress in Scraps. I am coloring with the Wacom so it's taking me a lot longer than usual)....

Color this comic for Shane:


And that's about it. I have other visions of creativity--like digging out the Sculpey clay and trying some more sculptures, but I dunno about that. I think the above, along with a lot of cleaning the house/getting rid of junk I don't need will keep me plenty busy.

Happy Holidays everyone!

My buddy gave me an early Christmas gift...

A YEAR'S SUB! Thanks ol' pal. Whatta gal. You get a big hug fer that!



Yer the best, Katto!

Really getting jazzed about Christmas this year. Last year was sort of a drag for many reasons, but this year things are lookin' up. I got my house decked out, and I get to have Christmas dinner at my place this year. So yeah. FUNFUN! I love cooking.

Over n' out, kidz! Laterlater!

To all of you who celebrate it!

I'm heading off to the folks in a bit for the BIG DINNAH. We're also gonna play beatles Rockband...my parents told me this morning they downloaded Sgt. Pepper's. WOOO!

A few things I'm thankful for....

Well, my folks. Not just 'cause they buy cool video games either. HA! Nah, really, they are cool people. Good, honest, loving, ward working people, who are fun to be with and I am grateful to have such a good relationship with them. Same goes for my two little brothers. A couple of dynamite guys. My sister in law is awesome too.

I'm thankful for my dogs, Belle and Speck. Belle was attacked a few years ago by two other dogs and they really kicked her ass. I though for sure I was gonna lose her. But a fantastic vet who happened to work weekends fixed her up and she came out of it. you would never know, aside from a couple of scars, that this ever happened to her now. She and my little guy Speck are great--they are always there to hug if I'm sad, they make me laugh, and I love 'em like they were my kids.

I'm thankful for my job. It's really a dynamite job, and though I often need a break from it, it's still better than a lot of things I could be doing. i could be flipping burgers or delivering pizzas!

I'm thankful for my house. I have a really nice little house that I am incredibly proud of because I was able to find it and buy it without having to borrow any money from anyone. I did get some bond money, but I didn't have to hit up my folks for cash and that made me feel good. I was also able to buy it before I was out of my 20's which was, for some reason, very important to me.

I'm thankful for Mitch, who puts up with me somehow... He is really a great guy.

I'm thankful for my friends, in real life and on the internet. That means you guys, DA friends! Thanks for watching, commenting, and giving me a reason to go on with what I do. One friend in particular gets a special shout out because she is a dynamite person:



I'm so happy to have met her here. Chatting, sharing our crazy ideas, learning from each other artistically...it really is awesome. Plus I am *sorta* learning German (verrrryy slowly though ahaha)
But seriously...in life friends come and go. Some are quite special. I hope our friendship endures always.

I'm thankful for my artistic talent. Yeah, you're born with it, I really believe that...I'm thankful for people who taught me how to mold it into something further too--I had a lot of great art teachers who really helped me refine the skills I was given by genetics or whatever causes that . One in particular, who sadly passed away recently, was a man named Jim Scott. I will never forget how he really helped me, particularly with my cartooning style. Best graphic design teacher I ever had.

So there ya go! Thanks for bearing with me in my moment of sappiness.

Hope you have fun! I know I am going to.
