Justice for Ahmaud Arbery. Justice for George Floy

Justice for Ahmaud Arbery.
Justice for George Floyd.
This type of killing has gone on for too many years without proper prosecution. How much proof and publicly expressed anger is needed before the murderers are arrested?
I came out to the rally earlier, wanting to support but found it wasn’t COVID-safe so didn’t stay long. I was so surprised after I left that there were cop car burnings, looting, tagging. The people I found at the rally were loving, caring individuals who were profoundly upset with the system and wanted to gather to send a message of social injustice and political change, not destruction of local neighborhoods. I’m personally processing these riots and the damage of my childhood neighborhood, along with all the riots in other cities. I know everyone’s frustration of the past 3 plus years, with millions gathering to protest the last presidential election, gun control, Indigenous and women’s rights and more, all to be heard by deaf ears in DC. I remember having hope for real dialogue on the longstanding struggles of African Americans in the US, but with the horrific outcome of a chaotic and racist president, all the constructive dialogue disappeared as everyone witnessed the administration’s war on science, war on the environment, war on public eduction, war on nuclear disarmament, the war on our European allies, war on our Latinx neighbors, war on Free Press, war on the checks and balance of our Federal government. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #blacklivesmatter #vote
I hope this wake up call brings everyone to VOTE in November. I hope something positive comes out of this rubble. Starting with justice for the senseless deaths of these innocent men who died for no reason than the color of their skin

HAPPY CATURDAY STROLL! Even saying hello to neighb

HAPPY CATURDAY STROLL!
Even saying hello to neighbor dogs.
As many of you know during Blackie the Cat’s recovery, he has picked up the Art of STROLLING.
I’ve been obsessed with documenting Blackie the Cat’s strolls every day.
#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow #happycaturday
Blackie the Cat has become a MASTER STROLLER, not just on the block, but in the world. He still has lost a lot of weight from his illness and a bit weak. We have created rules, since we are in Self-Isolation. No going into other neighbor’s yards, 6-paw rule, and, of course, no going into the streets or alleys, where cars can go.
I hope you enjoy these strolling videos as much as I do.

Release POSTPONED!
GOTH AHWROO!
We will be releasing a small number of hand painted Goth Ahwroos. #ahwroo #goth #gothahwroo #garybaseman #baseman #vicious
I personally hand painted these bloody vicious Goth Ahwroos during the pandemic. I’ll release more information early next week. Maybe you will be lucky to have one in your otherworldly collection.

We were going to release them this Thursday but will hold off to another date. We would like to show respect to those who lost their lives and stand with Black Life Manners this week.

THE BUCKINGHAM WARRIOR! Seven years ago, my writin

THE BUCKINGHAM WARRIOR! Seven years ago, my writing partner, David Charles Rodrigues, and I created this animated musical fairytale based on my father’s true story for MOCAtv.
As a tribute to MAY DAY MOCAtv presents The Buckingham Warrior, a tale inspired by my father Ben Baseman who survived the holocaust, fighting the Nazi invasion as a Partisan in the Polish/Ukrainian birch tree forests for almost 4 years. The Buckingham Warrior was a character I created to honor my father’s amazing will of survival.
@davidas @dieantwoord @moca @pitakow #moca #buckinghamwarrior #garybaseman #baseman We transformed my father's harsh reality into a fanciful story of survival and hope, which was animated by Peter Markowski and scored by South-African duo DIE ANTWOORD.

100,000. Unfortunately, the US has reached another

100,000.
Unfortunately, the US has reached another sad milestone today of over 100,000 deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We did not need to lose all these lives. The serial golf cheat in the White House gutted our Pandemic-Preparedness Systems that were in place in 2018.
My heart goes out to everyone in the US and around the world who died or lost a loved one to this virus. #covid19 #covid #usa #milestone #coronavirus
I wish we had a real leader, and not a carnival barker in the Oval Office, so we’d have a real national plan to beat this situation. Please stay home to continue to flatten the curve, especially in Red States that think they are safe. You are not. Be safe. Shelter in Place. 6 ft apart. Wear a mask. Please.

POWER OF PURR PRINTS! We still have a few of these

POWER OF PURR PRINTS!
We still have a few of these Blackie Kitty sets of 3 left! 💙
The last site just sold out!
Im so attracted to the powerful connection between human and beast. In my art installation, The Purr Room, we created a sound bath featuring Blackie the Cat’s meditative triple purr. I created these drawings (The Hunger of the Purr, The Cuddle of the Purr, and The Affection of the Purr 2) for our London art installation. The Power of Purr encouraes relaxation and calm, imbued with sweetness and affection.

At GaryBaseman.com, you can find this set of 3 signed and numbered giclee prints (edition of 100), each measuring 5 x 7 inches. 💙

Poor Ignored Sketchbook #151
Amazing how our routines have changed during quarantine.
During this lockdown, I haven’t been drawing in it as much. Usually I carry my sketchbook, everywhere I go. But now, when I do my Self-Isolating Walks, I know I won’t be sitting anywhere, so this sketchbook stays at home. Usually I fill up the sketchbook during my travels or even when I eat at a local diner.
I started some other “project sketchbooks” during this time to work through ideas but they are not the same. #sketchbook #drawing #garybaseman #baseman
I didn’t mean to ignore or abandon my dear friend. I need to change this situation! I miss my sketchbook.

Remembering those men and women who sacrificed themselves fighting for democracy and freedom on this Memorial Day. #memorialday #freedom #liberty #toby #tobylovesyou
Also remember to VOTE out the giant BONE SPUR in office in November.

Remember 6 Feet!! With Burger King stealing my 3 F

Remember 6 Feet!!
With Burger King stealing my 3 Foot Brim Hat, to create 6 foot distance, and with the beginning of Summer, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone!! SOCIAL DISTANCING!
During this CoronaVirus Crisis, we all know to stay 6 feet apart.
When we were first told, I came up with a way not to worry about judging distances if we all wore HATS with a 3 FOOT BRIM. Each 3 ft hat brim meeting will give us a 6 ft distant apart.
#socialdistancing #socialdance #coronavirus #covid_19 @burgerking @burgerkinggermany #burgerking #burgerkinggermany #garybaseman #baseman
Please use these drawings as a GUIDE to make your own COVID-19 hats! Well, I guess Burger King did.

FASTER STROLLING CAT!
Blackie the Cat likes to experiment with his pace as he strolls.

I’ve been obsessed with videotaping hours & hours of Blackie the Cat’s strolls.

Happy Caturday.
Especially during this pandemic and self-isolation, I’m grateful to have my creative partner, Blackie the Cat, with me.
We have been working on some special projects together and I love how he will push me sometimes all through the night. #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow #happycaturday
Blackie the Cat’s health seems better, but he is an older cat, still on medicine, and has lost a lot of weight. We are really putting together a video archive on his sport of strolling, while working on a self analysis of our relationship.
We hope everyone is being safe and healthy. Happy Caturday.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,
having her kombucha and kale,
Along came a Toby Spider who sat down beside her,
And forced our Miss Muffet to bail.
#toby #tobylovesyou #tobyspider #garybaseman #baseman
This Toby Spider painting is from my original For the Love of Toby exhibition which this month is the 15th anniversary! Toby isn’t only your best friend, he can manifest into anything!! Enjoy your kombucha and kale during self-isolation!
