Keith Burns is an artist out of the UK that keeps an extremely low profile, at least on the Internet. He’s an artist you should know about that you probably don’t know about. There are not a lot of interviews or pieces on him, which is crazy considering his talent and his pedigree as someone who has […]

A new boy in town longs to join a game of baseball, but is too guarded to ask if he can play until four old guys coax him out of his shell.
Wordless except for days of the week announced every few pages, this hilarious story is about wanting to fit in, but not knowing how.
As the story begins, it's Tuesday and the little boy in a red cap has just moved into his house and is eager to find a game of baseball.
He's got his glove, bat, even a ball. Now he just needs a field of kids.
But when he gets to the neighborhood park and sees a game underway, he freezes up, feeling too self-conscious to ask if he can join in.
With his cap low over his face and his bat dragging behind, the boy slumps off to a park bench, where four old guys are whiling away the day.
One man sits with his hands crossed, another holds a book in his lap, and one particularly gruff-looking one, tosses bread crumbs to pigeons.
Though not a "hello" is spoken, the boy returns to the bench the next day.
He's now donned regular clothes and he carries a loaf of bread for the pigeons.
The old guys look stumped as the steal sidelong glances at him. One points at the boy nonchalantly, another shrugs his shoulders and the grumpy one grimaces.
On Thursday, the boy is back again, but now his hair is slicked back with pomade, and he's wearing plaid pink pants and a red bow tie.
But the old guys aren't so happy with what they see.
Two of them exchange uneasy glances. One in big black glasses just stares and the grumpy one gives the boy a scowl, as he rests his head heavily in his hands.
When Friday comes along, the boy is back, this time hobbling in with a cane and with wire glasses low on his nose. On his head is a big brown derby hat.
