oh my god the spots!!

a small ceramic animal held in my hand. it has a gentle yet exuberant smile, round shiny black eyes, a snout with no nose or teeth and tall rabbit-like ears. it has pink accents on its white face and a soft-edged light red upperside to its body, with white spots. its feet and underside are white.

the same ceramic animal from a 3/4 view, standing on an aged wooden table. its head is tilted upwards, looking off to the left, and its front foot is lifted from the ground as if walking. its red upperside with mushroom-like white spot markings can be seen to cover its back and neck, the backs of its ears, and part of its tail. it has simple rounded nub legs and a loosely canine build.

the same ceramic animal from above. it peers up at the viewer as if excited to see them. its shortish tail is somewhat feline in nature.

the same ceramic animal standing on a garden rock wall in bright sunshine. there are plants and purple flowers behind it, and seeing its snout front-on shows that, despite its lack of discernible nose, it has a slight ":3" lip, like a cat, dog or ball python. its raised forelimb seems like it might be frolicking, and its short tail trails behind it.

this one is called mushroom puppy :)

she's been training 💪

Jezebel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog looking at the camera all casual with a single peanut balanced on her nose. This is easy mode she can do this all day long with her eyes closed and her nonchalant posture and relaxed eyes show it.

now she sits upright and looks directly at the camera with six (that's not a typo 6) peanuts balanced on her nose. An ear is back, her eyes are focused and she is very still. This is a little tougher but she's tough and can meet the challenge. But maybe hurry up and take the picture okay?

Gar is an orange kitten perched inside a Christmas tree. He looks beautiful, content, and deceptively calm.

Trout is a little gray kitten with white paws, he is reaching out to gently touch a pinecone.

The camera has zoomed out and you can see that Gar is perched up VERY high inside the frickin Christmas tree and he is leaning precariously to one side

Trout is taking a huge bite of the tree.

Put up the tree.

everyone try to stay calm but there are only 26 days left to make 2025 the year you read Pony Express

2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante 1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD. [drawing] message that reads: hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3 2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of "not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers! [drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read: “hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic

10:26 < Chicken Ragù Bianco | 19 350-degree oven.) Step 5 Once the chicken has cooked, let it cool for a few minutes, then take it out of the liquid (but keep the cooking liquid in the pot) and let it cool until you can comfortably handle it. Pull off the skin and feed it to your dog, then pull off the meat in large shreds (chop the larger ones) and return the chicken to the cooking liquid.

did… did the dog write this recipe

"It is nowadays the fashion to disparage robert e lee but he behaved very responsibly in calling for an early end to the war rather than dispersing the confederate army as guerillas."

3-panel comic drawn in pen wiht inkwash shading. The top two panels are on the same row and the third panel is larger on the bottom, and there is a top caption that says "An actual peek into my creative process:" Panel 1 shows me lying awake in the dark at 2:58am with thought bubbles that say "Hmmm... That's a good idea." Panel 2 shows me sneaking out of my bedroom and holding my phone, while my sleeping spouse and cats can be seen in the room behind me. My thought bubbles say "I'll record a quick voice note that I can listen to later, so I don't forget." Panel 3 starts with a caption that says "Several hours later:" and shows me sitting at my desk with a pen ready to write in a lined notebook, while holding and staring at my phone with a tired expression as the voice note I recorded earlier rambles on: "So then the bridge can go all 'DRRRZGH, DRRRZGH' with like a whole step, and I half uh.. a half step... the sax should do something like 'doo-doo-doooo-do-do.' You know? Ok, love you" Beneath the comic is my signature (kat Baumann), today's date (12-6-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

Day 339: This is one of those days when the "gentle comic making" does NOT feel gentle, I am so busy. Do not ask me to do a single thing for you for the next twelve hours or I will cry, lol

Finishing up my last commission today and then I have no idea what to do the rest of December and I still have no savings, so I could really use any commissions or help over p@treon or ko-fi

#ArtAdventCalendar is averaging ~400 posts per day so we'll be at a minimum 10,000 images posted by the end of the event. That's a full 10% of the entire collection of the National Gallery of Canada. I expect as more people join we'll have closer to 12-15k.

All that art. For free. On your phone.
