Thank you @cassandrachurch @karli_martinis @aidan_chinchulo and Veritas Head by @viva_rebecca #garybaseman #baseman #tobylovesyou #tobystravels
Mimi has been doing a series of photos where everyone needs to be covered head to toe in vintage clothing. This is one of many different looks from our lovely long day of shooting.

“Release of Happiness”
was painted in 2008 for my exhibition "Knowledge Comes from Gas Release” in Barcelona Spain.
This series was inspired by David Bowie's Hunky Dory song "Quicksand."
Scroll through a sampling of other paintings from this exhibition.

This exhibition is about accepting the absurdities of life and releasing expectations. I'm still trying to learn to RELEASE. Let things go. Accept.
Release your heart!

My new look.
Taking a break after a very very long photoshoot with @mimihaddon at a very special mysterious vintage clothing costume house only known as the Palace. I’m happy I could be part of Mimi’s very Cloakish Series of photos.
Thank you for our amazing team.

All our Civil Liberties are under attack by the Most Corrupt Administration ever.
Women’s Right to Choose is being taken away State by State.
Our Free Press is called Fake News on a daily basis. Our Earth and Natural Resources are being destroyed by removing regulations to protected it for greed.
We need to stand up for our rights!

Last night, I went to a private screening of the new season’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. They asked not to video or give anything away but I’m compelled to tell you what happened last night, and this is ALL TRUE!
Right before the screening started, I was about to say hi to a friend, and I was eating popcorn. I took a deep breath, and a tiny kernel of pop corn got lodged in the back of my throat that gave me an uncomfortable tickle. I thought I was going to have an embarrassing cough during the entire screening, so I drank a lot of water and then numerous other friends around me offered me their water too. Once the lights went down and the episode begin, I had to pee immediately, making me so uncomfortable the entire time.
By the end of the episode, I was about to explode, and instead of being able to rush to the toilet, they immediately had a Q&A with Larry David and Cast & Crew.
So now I was forced to endure this excruciating pain in my bladder the entire time Larry David & panel discussed their 20 years in television. I couldn’t get up since I was sitting upfront and center and if I tried to leave, I would’ve interrupted the entire event.
So my review for the new season’s first episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm made me feel so uncomfortable and the Q&A was unbelievable painful.
It’s better to watch the new season at home where you could pee freely.

Thanks Jonathan & Meg of Flux.
Sorry Not Sorry for giving it all away. Watch my Instagram Story to see video of the Q&A
P.S. I did not get the nerve to get a photo of Toby with Larry.

I fell in love with NIKO, and he agreed to be a disciple of Blackie the Cat! 🧡🖤
I finally met Niko at the Anish Kapoor opening at Regen Projects, after hearing about him for hours when we drove to Melanie Pullen’s opening at MOAH! @niko_goes_west 📸 by @britneypenouilh @anish.kapoor @regenprojects #nikogoeswest #theblackiethecatshow #garybaseman #baseman

Happy Birthday, GEORGIA MAY JAGGER!
I’ve had these tear sheets and this idea way back when Django & Georgia were an item back in the early years of the Nightmare & the Cat days.
But I didn’t finally paint on them till yesterday, her real birthday.
@georgiamayjagger @brettgrace @hudsonjeans #georgiamayjagger #georgiajagger #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #garybaseman #baseman
Blackie the Cat has always had a crush on you, and asked me to paint him on your portrait! Happy Birthday!

BJ PANDA BEAR holding Court.
I was happy dancing with my peeps when I was inspired to draw BJ in his element. I ran off the dance floor grabbed my sketchbook and started drawing away. Then the rest of the club was calling me and I was compelled to draw the rest. @bjpandabear
