(not my cat, even though it looks just like Egg Noodle) a friend reposted this blessed image and I remembered that I can do what I want so I drew ✨Him✨ for my warmup this morning

A photo of someone's white and orange shorthair cat looking to the side and captured mid-meow so his mouth is narrowly and widely open, with his chin appearing like a severe underbite and cheeks puffed outward so he looks like a goofy lil guy

the same cat described in last image, but drawn by me in pen with an added stained glass halo around his head and the latin words "felem petendum est" written around him (a translation website told me this is how to say "you must pet the cat," but I could have gotten it wrong, baby

If you're near the greater Mankato area in MN, come to my silly little vocal workshop on Sept 15th where I'll definitely talk about clenching your butt to reach high notes, babyyyyy

A big ol' poster for an event I'm hosting as part of my Minnesota State Arts Board project. The poster was designed and illustrated by me, and features a drawing of myself mimicking one of those old Uncle Sam "I WANT YOU" posters from the 40's. I'm a white lady with long, dark, curly hair and dark brown eyes, wearing a navy blue sleeveless top, standing in front of a vintage microphone while pointing at the viewer ominously with one hand and holding a hot mug of lemon tea in the other hand.

The top text says "I WANT YOU to practice HEALTHY, SUPPORTED SINGING!"

Next blocks of text say: "FREE instructional presentation on vocal technique by vocalist Kat Baumann. For beginners, aspiring singers, and those with an open Tuesday night!"

The next block of text says "6:30pm on September 15th, Carnegie Art Center, 120 S Broad St. in Mankato, Event page: http://tinyurl.com/KatVoxCarnegie"

Toward the bottom is a QR code leading the the facebook event page, the logos for the Minnesota State Arts Board, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Carnegie Art Center.

Kat Baumann is a fiscal year 2026 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Kat Baumann is not a licensed teacher or vocal coach, she is a gangly broad who's done live vocal performance for 17 years, mic'd and un-mic'd, sometimes with a band and sometimes with an orchestra, and has only lost her voice two times (both because of Beethoven's 9th Symphony)."

the group chat after last night's city council meeting

A text chat between me and my cousin, where they first said "We got the moratorium on AI" "We got chickens in the city" and directly underneath is my response message saying "We got the combination taco bell and pizza hut"

I couldn't focus on literally anything else until I made this cringey millennial meme

4-panel meme from 2013-ish made of screencaps from the first Avengers movie (I think?) where Captain America says to Hulk, "Now might be a really good time for you to get angry" and Hulk responds, "That's my secret, Cap.. I'm always angry." Except in the first panel Captain American is next to a picture of my garden bed and saying "Now might be a really good time for you to weed your garden bed," the second panel has my face photoshopped over Bruce Banner's and saying "That's my secret, Cap..."
Panel 3 is my face shopped over Bruce's again, looking down and saying "I'm always weeding my garden bed"
Panel 4 shows my head photoshopped over the hulk's, looking feral and biting a chunk of ragweed, with the rest of the bottom of the panel filled with ragweed as well

it is a shame about him not having feet

A photo of my bright orange-and-white shorthair tuxedo tabby cat, "Egg Noodle," curled up in his carpet-covered cat tree next to an open window with his overly-long tail curled up in a spiral over all his legs, making him look like a big furry snail.

Pen and ink drawing I just did of the photo in this same post, with the spiral of Egg Noodle's tail exaggerated and his body slightly more slug-shaped

serving as a DFL delegate this year

Screenshot from the sketch comedy show "I think you should leave" featuring Tim Robinson's character who is teaching a drivers' ed class. The caption of him yelling has been changed from "I can't know how to hear anymore about tables" to "I can't know how to hear anymore about MN State Auditor Candidates"

Needed to do some warmup inks and I got this idea from my friend Knife Jill who has been similarly cursed by Sweden

3-panel comic drawn in ink on bristol; the panels are all the same size and in one horizontal row, with a top caption saying "Every waking moment since I saw Eurovision 2026"
Panel 1 shows me, eyes closed and barely awake in a robe with a messy top bun while I open a can of "Gremlin Chow" for my two cats. There are three scraggly speech bubbles coming from me that say "My head.. my heart.. my body part.." which are lyrics from Sweden's Eurovision song entry for this year (admittedly a bop)
Panel 2 shows me vacuuming the filter on an air purifier at work, accompanied by a "VRRROOOM" SFX. My single speech bubble says "My head, my heart, my body part"
Panel 3 shows me licking the seal on an envelope at my desk, staring into the middle-distance with speech bubbles wandering around the top of the panel in segments: "My... head, my... heart.. my... body part"
Beneath the comic is my signature and the date this was drawn: Kat Baumann 5-19-26

I saw a rheumatologist about my "crone hands" that swell up painfully every time there's a stark temperature change, and I was able to use a couple of my daily comics to reference the dates it happened last year, lol (also no, we did not figure out why they do that)

The daily comic I drew on February 12, 2025: it's in three equally-sized, vertically shaped panels all sitting in the same row, and was drawn somewhat roughly since I used my non-dominant hand to draw it. Panel 1 shows a drawing of my right hand with swollen knuckles and redness accentuated by inkwash spotches, with captions saying "When the weather gets extra cold, the joints on my dominant hand get really swollen and painful. (Inflammation? 30 years of drawing? I'unno.)
Panel 2 shows me sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce on the floor next to my shorthair cat, holding my hand tenderly and saying "So, as a little treat, I've drawn this comic with my left hand."
Panel 3 shows my left hand giving a thumbs up, and in the background is a pencil and polymer eraser, with little elementary school-style doodles behind it like that weird "S" everyone drew, a farting butt, a game of tic-tac-toe, etc. There's a single caption saying "Enjoy!"
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), the date, and the time i spent drawing it (43 minutes)

Obsessed, delighted by the arrival of this gorgeous print from @rondanchan.bsky.social I need to find a nice gold frame to compliment the carnival behind my favorite Raccoon City family

A photo of my hand holding up an 8.5" by 11" print of a piece drawn by the wonderful comic artist Ron Chan: it depicts the Resident Evil character Leon Kennedy at a carnival with his three blonde adoptive daughters Sherry, Grace and Emily. Sherry is eating some of Grace's cotton candy, and Emily (a small child) is riding on Leon's shoulders and staring at her surroundings with wonder while wearing little pink Crocs.
In the photo I'm holding the print up to my long-haired calico Margo, who is sniffing it while sitting under her favorite pink veil.

It's pledge drive season at KMSU Radio in Mankato! mankato.mnsu.edu/kmsu-radio/ I depicted Shuffle Function hosts @shyboytim.bsky.social and Shelley as a pair of meddling teens running from my favorite public radio station. Here are a couple sneak-peek closeups:

Close-up of a digital drawing inspired by the Hanna-Barbera style of cartooning from the 70's; an angry hamster sits on a purple baseball cap and takes a bite out of a pink-frosted donut, and in the background we see part of a radio tower

Close-up of a digital drawing inspired by the Hanna-Barbera style of cartooning from the 70's; KMSU radio host Shyboy Tim is styled similarly to Shaggy from Scooby Doo, with thick-rimmed glasses, a green cardigan, and thick grey-brown beard with shaggy hair. He's holding a spoon of soup broth in his left hand (a reference to his facebook group "Now I'm Eating Soup") which is spilling out the letters "K, M, S and U" like alphabet soup. He's looking behind him and screaming.

Close-up of a digital drawing inspired by the Hanna-Barbera style of cartooning from the 70's; it shows the distinctive front windows of the Foundation and Alumni building on MSU Mankato's campus, with two cartoonish ghosts staring out the windows. The ghosts are simple, with round heads and stump arms, like the kind of ghost a kindergartner would draw if you asked them.

Promotional picture of the "Shuffle Function 25th Anniversary Lunchbox & Thermos" that people can receive for a $100 pledge to KMSU radio during the pledge drive. The lunchbox is metal and square, with the Hanna-Barbera style art on the front, and comes with one of those tall soup thermoses.

Sketched some other folks in the Democratic farmer labor party meeting so I could focus (busting out my old college lecture tricks for listening with ADHD)

Rough pen live sketches of five heads on grid-patterned paper. They all have different variations of neutral/bored expressions on their faces and have a variety of hair styles, including myself in the bottom row wearing headphones and resting my cheek on my hand.

Margo will always opt to invade her brother's personal space rather than use the second heated bed I purchased with my frivolous human money

Both my cats squeezed into a heated bed meant for one cat. My shorthair orange cat Egg Noodle is squished against the wall below the window sill and my long-haired diluted calico Margo is laying on her side in from of him, both staring at the camera person who dared to interrupt their nap

I tried it on this page of pencils -- I like how natural it feels to shade the hair this way!! You have converted me for life.

Lil springer spaniel sketch to bless your timeline on this morn

All women really want is to receive this text:

As of today, sales from the daily comic book have raised $691.89 for a mutual aid org helping immigrants in my city ❤️ I'm SO thankful to everyone who's ordered the book, and I'd love to hand more fat wads of cash to my group organizers in the future! You can order here: www.etsy.com/shop/KatBaum...

Photo of my cats Margo and Egg Noodle both smashed into the same heated bed even though I have a whole other heated bed sitting right next to them on the window seat (they must share. they are best friends)
Margo is a longhair diluted calico (grey speckled with cream and white patches) and Egg Noodle is a shorthair orange-and-white tuxedo tabby American shorthair. My window seat is messy and there is detritus surrounding the area where my cats are snuggling together.

Photo of a stack of my comic books, shown from the spines which read "I Drew a Comic Book Every Day for a Year and Lived" with my surname at the base of the spine: "Baumann".

I ask her not to stare at me with her extra lids, I beg her

Comic drawn in india ink with sable brush and inkwash shading. It's a simple drawing of my longhair diluted calico cat Margo sitting calmly and staring at me, while half-draped in her favorite translucent sash, but her second/inner eyelids are retracting too slowly so they're half-covering her eyes and she looks like an alien. Speech bubbles from me are coming from off-panel, saying "Margo, put your extra lids away. Margo, please... I'm not supposed to see this." In the bottom right corner is my signature and today's date (Kat Baumann 2-4-26)

Becoming more involved in my community lately has reminded me just how bad my Spanish is-- I'm working on it! But today I pulled out this gem while telling someone about my cat: "Mi gato... Ello es muy guapo, pero.. no muy inteligente" Spanish speakers are way too patient, I feel like a menace.

A photo of my orange American shorthair cat Egg Noodle, perched on the back of a couch and staring into the middle distance, head empty of thoughts.
