Kat Croker Art

MORE ON THE KAT

For some time now I’ve been meaning to update you on Kat Croker my dear friend and absolutely amazingly talented artist. I should hang my head in shame because part of the reason for blogging was to feature some of the best Steampunk artists. If I split the truth into balls and juggle with them I might be able to say I’ve written about three artists Kat, Deb and Rachael and maybe I could get away with adding Sean Lightning and Ian Gadget Thomas because I have uploaded photos of some of their creations and written a few bits and pieces about them. I have written much about Rachael but have yet to cover the key point which is an uplifting story about inspiration and positive thinking. But in truth the only artist that I’ve featured in the way I intended is Kat. I suppose I’ve been waiting for a ‘right time’ the moment - when a zing of lightning whacks me on the ass sets fire to my breeches and fills me with kick start inspiration. But it doesn’t look as if that’s going to happen. Plan B? Self-Discipline - shift yourself you idle schmuck!!

Kat is a human production line. She’s like a robot - in the most positive sense of the word. It is some time since I set foot in her studio but I bet that if I went there now she would be in there from morning ‘til night working on her creations. Kat tends to stand while she works possibly due to being hyperactive (it could be Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD) but as yet there has been no official diagnosis. Whatever the reason she works as if expecting the floor to collapse from under her feet if she stays in one too long in one place. there’s always plenty of room to manoeuvreBut now, with her constant ‘making stuff’ coupled with the cancellation of trading events her studio must be filled to the rafters with completed items! ‘Mousie’ items and ‘maskie’ items if her Facebook postings are anything to go by. Since we’re still under threat from COVID-19 and the government has decided that it would be good if we all look like surgeons, dentists, armed robbers and the Lone Ranger face-masks have been made compulsory. Kat made masks anyway but she decided to add some variations which would appeal to the general public as well as the Steampunk community........

Masks available on eBay or via the Kat Croker FB page. Cost £7-£8 free PnP

I’ll add more photos to the photo album page but here are a few examples for now. If you want to purchase one eBay items are listed under ‘poichick’ or you can PM via her Facebook page ‘Kat Croker’.
