it's truly great when parents bring their young kids into galleries and help them expand their interest in art, however it is less appealing when the kid open mouth coughs on you as you're handing them the gallery map with fun drawings on it

off, that sucks, but interior lead can sometimes be easier to deal with. although keeping pets away from areas you're working on is a major pain in the butt too

i literally groaned out loud reading that. thankfully i'm alone in the gallery right now. the company i worked for specialized in "eco friendly" lead abatement work on old ass houses, so the sins of painters past was a constant nightmare. i feel your pain

matte paint on the trim!? bananas. back when i was painting houses after college, i had to talk many home owners out of all kinds of bad decisions, but no one wanted matte paint on their doorframes/trim/cabinets

BELVEDERE issue -26: MACULATA.

Probably the most personal and obscure thing i've ever drawn, and the most beautiful; people told me they teared up and "didn't have energy for anything else". A comic about the South Isles.

37 BW pages.

Free to read on my folder:
drive.google.com/file/d/1Ydek...

Comic cover, divided in two sections:

Upper:
A picture of Cat Aviator about to throw a paper airplane.
To its left, the original greek version of Konstantinos Kavafis' poem "Remember, Body" and below that, a couple of verses by my character Pappagallino:

Birds I could see frozen in the air,
Yellow-green and blue around the eyes,
Grasshopper-green slender jewels,
When they rested their wings…

Lower:
Title and the same information as in the post, along with a list of characters:

Cat Aviator (Retired)
Pappagallino
God of Winds
"Dog Lady on the stairs"
The South Isles
C541 "BELVEDERE" Aircraft (it's vintage!)

And a picture of Parrot giving the thumbs up.

Character intro page, featuring portraits the main cast (Cat, God of Winds and Parrot) along with a brief introduction of each.

CAT AVIATOR (RETIRED)
A Cat who is an Aviator who is Retired. The original pilot of the Belvedere, now in the capable hands of his good friend Heron, he spends his days writing and reading in the garden of his small seaside villa. He can talk to birds and his best friend is a seagull (animal) named Comandante. Comandante was on vacation in the north during the events of this here comic.

GOD OF WINDS, or “PIRATE PRINCE”, or “DOLPHIN”, or “CAPITANO JOHN”
A romantic old god of the South Isles, he takes the shape of a young man with blonde hair and dark eyes. When mingling with the normal folk, he wears an eyepatch and goes by the name “Capitano John”. Had a brief but passionate love affair with our Cat Aviator. Enjoys calling himself a pirate but doesn’t own a ship (he walks on water).

PARROT, or “PARROT-MAN”, or “PARROTMAN”, or “PAPPAGALLINO”
A store clerk from Salina and amateur poet, he wrote the four verses on the cover of BELVEDERE issue -26: MACULATA. Another one of Cat’s love affairs, this one having lasted 5 years and ended on very good terms. In the end, both of them were very “hard to be friends with” and acknowledged it without fuss. They occasionally meet and catch up.

i was a big sci-fi/fanstasy nerd growing up, but never actually got into lord of the rings. finally going through all of them now and my main problem with the audiobook versions, is that the reader actually fucking sings all the damn songs

hello, here are some of the first pages of my comic for @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social this year, along with some assorted pages. If you've ever wondered after a glimpse into someone else's life or if you find awe and whimsy in the mundane, you might enjoy it. Maybe? Idk. October is almost over

Day 296: I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm okay, I'm fine 🕷🕸🥚🍳

A 3-panel comic drawn in pen with inkwash shading. The top caption says "A couple days ago I was putting away some things in my yard..."
Panel 1 is wide and shows me in my back yard, dumping a ceramic planter full of dirt into my raised garden bed that's filled with dying plants. The captions continue from the top caption: "our clothesline, patio chairs, garden hose, etc., emptying my ceramic planters into the vegetable garden."
Panels 2 and 3 are separated with a diagonal border going from the top right to bottom left, with a small inset panel leading from the ceramic planter in my arms with a little drawing of my longhair cat Margo. In panel 2 I'm bending a tall milkweed stalk over and using the tip to remove a tuft of something white and fluffy from inside the planter. The captions say "There was a tuft of Margo fur stuck inside a planter (it keeps the squirrels from digging up my plants)"
In panel 3, I've let go of the dead milkweed stalk and it's recoiling upward toward me with the fluffy object from the planter; there's a big "WHAP!" FX accompanying the stalk, and a horrified look on my face, accompanied with a caption that says "The tuft of Margo fur turned out to be a sack of spider eggs." There's one small caption drawn in cursive and joined by an arrow pointing at the milkweed stalk, and it says "Don't fear the recoil," a reference to the Blue Oyster Cult song that was playing on the radio this morning while I drew this.
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann) and today's date (10-23-2025)
