Illustrated story · fictional draft for Mattea’s review

Keepers of
little things.

A curled-tail cat, a tearful duck and two little watchers. Eight original drawings find a quiet corner of the garden.

In this proposed story, the cat keeps a space beside every lost thing. A leaf, a pebble, a thought that has wandered too far: each can rest beneath its curling tail.

The two eye-stalk creatures take turns watching the path. One looks toward the stars; the other looks toward the ground. They are separate original drawings and keep separate identities, even when this draft places them side by side.

The long duck brings a puddle wherever it goes. The bee comes to visit, the watching heart makes room, and two little planets wait above the margins. Nothing here has to become bigger to belong.

These roles and relationships are fictional ideas for Mattea to shape. They are not artist-approved canon or a personal biography. The moving images use her original photographed marks and paper tones.

Eight originals.
Every line has a place.

A drawing first. An edition next.

Each drawing has its own source record and native pixel count. The feet, tail, wings and full outlines stay with their originals; no missing body or new line is invented. Larger print sizes need better scans, color and cutline checks, and physical samples.

69 complete drawings are currently reviewed on this source sheet. The remaining art is still being inventoried; this count is not an exhaustive sheet inventory.

A new dimension for the curled-tail cat.
