Thanks everyone for your continued love and suppor

Thanks everyone for your continued love and support.
Since it’s been such a roller coaster, it’s difficult to decide what to report about Blackie’s health.
The short version is after a million tests, we have new meds for him, and the goal is that they will heal him, hoping he doesn’t throw them up. #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #meow #powerofpurr
Normally I would keep it private, but since we have “The Blackie the Cat Show,” and he has such a sweet following, besides being such an inspiration and collaborator in my art, I feel I should let people know.
Blackie the Cat and I really do appreciate your love, support and purrs, even if we can’t respond back to you individually.
May the Power of Purr be with you.
Happy Caturday!

Imagining all the Kitties of the World Purring for Blackie the Cat.
Started this drawing as I wait for Blackie the Cat at the vet.
I can only imagine all the Cats and the Kittens purring as one to help heal my best friend, Blackie the Cat. I’m still waiting results. #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #meow #garybaseman #baseman Thanks you for your overwhelming support, love and energy.

The majestic Blackie the Cat.
I don’t know what to write as I await results on his medical tests.

Thank you for everyone’s support and positive energy.

Remembering my favorite cousin, BEVERLY POTTON, on

Remembering my favorite cousin, BEVERLY POTTON, on the anniversary of her BIRTHDAY, February 17.
BEVERLY’s maiden name was BASEMAN and grew up a block away from me in the Fairfax district. While on holiday, she fell in love and moved to Nelson, New Zealand.
I don't regret much, but when I was younger, I was such a workaholic, I never visited her when she lived there, and only saw her when she returned to the States. She eventually was diagnosed and died of cancer way to too young. I finally made my pilgrimage to see where she lived and visit her grave and family 2 years ago.
I had such an extraordinary time seeing the beauty of NZ with my Potton Family.
#wildgirlbeverly #beverly #beverlybaseman #beverlypotton #newzealand #nelson #garybaseman #baseman #love #inmemoryofbeverly @sutergallery
I’m excited for my solo exhibition at the Suter gallery in Nelson later this year. I will be exploring the themes of Memorial, Memory, and Flightless Birds.

It’s been FRIEZING in LA! Brrrrrrrr! My take on

It’s been FRIEZING in LA!
Brrrrrrrr!
My take on FRIEZE LOS ANGELES. The Official tagline for the fair was created by Barbara Kruger for when you walked through security and exited was EMPTY YOUR POCKETS. Or maybe I dreamt it. @friezeartfair @bettinakorek @frieze_magazine #frieze #friezeartfair #friezelosangeles #garybaseman #baseman
My favorite piece was the gigantic Maurizio Cattelan slash Takashi Murakami collaboration titled Comedian’s Last Laugh which was an enormous banana personified with a Murakami Happy Face. Or maybe I dreamt that to.

Sending LOVE back to everyone.
As Blackie the Cat’s health is still a bit of a roller coaster, I just want to thank everyone for their love, positive energy and advice.

Happy Caturday everyone!
Sending everyone the Power of Purr.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABE LINCOLN! But let’s just warn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABE LINCOLN!
But let’s just warn Honest Abe to stay off of Fifth Avenue!!
Because DON THE CON can get away with it on Fifth Avenue; actually, he seems to be getting away with it on Pennsylvania Ave too. And Ford’s Theater. #abrahamlincoln #abrahamlincolnbirthday #lincoln #fifthavenue #notmypresident #fdt #occupiedamerica
Everyday seems like a sad day in American History, with this Evil Corrupt Orange Monster sitting in our Executive Branch of Government.

GOTH AHWROO!
Just thinking how a GOTH AHWROO figure would be cool!
Actually, I’ve been thinking about it for a year.

What do you think? Let me know if you would like it produced.

Congratulations to PARASITE for their Best Picture

Congratulations to PARASITE for their Best Picture Win!
Exciting to see the first non-English foreign film win, especially with an important theme about the Haves & Have-Nots, and such a unique premise and strong visual approach. @parasitemovie #parasite #parasitemovie #bongjoonho @theacademy #acadamyawards #oscars #기생충 #기생충영화
But personally, as thrilled I am that they won, I really didn’t like the ending. No spoilers given.

Lazy Sunday. Drawing inspired by a Man Ray photo i

Lazy Sunday.
Drawing inspired by a Man Ray photo in his studio.
The detail on my muse came from details at the the Chateau Marmont.
