Slapped some colour + a new crop on this comm, which i know will get totally mangled by compression, but that wont stop me from painting in monochrome red

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.
