HOME. Blackie the Cat’s first night home. It’s

HOME.
Blackie the Cat’s first night home. It’s a challenge but I’m grateful he is here with me.
His kidney values are still way too high but they believed he plateaued. He has a lot of trouble walking now because of his hind legs. I hope I can strengthen them since he is “The Greatest Strolling Cat.”
Thank everyone again for your love and overwhelming support. ❤️
#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow
We need to stabilize his kidneys and heart before we can concentrate on his thyroid again. He did eat last night which is good. Blackie is a strong cat. I’m staying positive, so far with not much sleep. We have a follow up in 3 days.

Blackie the Cat is coming home!
His kidney values are still way too high but they believed he plateaued and can come home. Thank you for everyone’s love and overwhelming support. ❤️

I believe all your positive energy helped him. Things will still be a challenge. We will need to be taking everything one day at a time at home. I’m staying positive and we have a follow up in 3 days.

Happy Birthday Mom!
Today, August 4th is the anniversary of my mom, Naomi Baseman’s birthday. ❤️
#naomibaseman #mom #birthday
A day doesn’t go by, where I don’t think about her. She spent everyday working hard to make the life of her family better. She survived one of the most horrific events of mankind (making today look like a piece of cake) as a young adult, to find freedom here with my dad first in Canada and then the United States.
She would call me everyday to come over to eat. I miss her cooking, especially her gefilte fish, the most and her potato latkes.
My folks are always in my hearts.
But they knew that in life and now in spirit.
I was lucky to have such special parents.

Last I heard was he was stable but his kidney values were way too high. But I’m grateful for everyone’s love and support. Please continue to send positive energy and love to Blackie the Cat as he is in the hospital fighting for his life.

I’ve been surviving by drawing and writing and crying and channeling my third eye to communicate with Blackie the Cat. I can’t begin to tell you my attachment to this special soul. Please keep Blackie the Cat in your prayers.

Please continue to send your positive energy and love. 🖤
I’ve been watching old videos from “The BLACKIE THE CAT SHOW, starring Blackie the Cat, and his boy, Gary.” I’m sharing a few so swipe right. This series was part of an video art piece, we produced daily on our instagram story.
Blackie the Cat’s situation isn’t good but he is stable. Blackie is in the hospital fighting for his life.
He is a strong cat.

This is so personal and I’m so scared. But I’m sharing this since I’m hoping that overwhelming positive energy will help heal him. Please keep Blackie the Cat in your prayers.

He is a strong cat.
I’ve been writing and drawing my thoughts as I process things.

Please send your Positive Energy and the Power of Purr.
My best friend, Blackie the Cat has gotten weaker and had to go into the ER.
We need to get his kidney values under control and a possible infection.

I am only posting about this on social media since so many are fans of Blackie the Cat and his adventures and our collaborations. This is such a personal issue and scary time for me. Blackie the Cat has been my best friend and inspiration for 14 years. Please keep Blackie the Cat in your prayers and send positive thoughts and love.

EARTHQUAKE!
Good Early Morning LA!
Did you feel this morning 4.2 earthquake at 4:30am and it’s aftershock about ten minutes later.
We did.
#earthquake #losangeles #hollywood #shaking
Of course, we will have an earthquake during this pandemic, and with this nutso in office, we surpass 150,000 dead in the US from Covid. Getting ready for locusts and aliens next.

My best friend.
During COVID, and for 14 years before the pandemic, Blackie the Cat has been there for me and me for him.
Before Shelter in Place, we have been in self-isolation because of his illnesses. But even though Blackie hasn’t been 100%, we have been collaborating together in art projects. I’m even more grateful to have my creative partner, Blackie the Cat, with me.
#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow
Blackie the Cat has been slowly losing weight which is a great concern. He is an older cat, on medication. He has been having good days and not so good days. Lately, we haven’t been have very good days. I’m hoping things turn around soon and Blackie the Cat feels better.
We hope everyone is being safe and healthy, wearing a mask, fighting the good fight, at this unique time in the world.

SHOUT YOUR SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACY! I created these

SHOUT YOUR SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACY! I created these 2020 Elections Vote t-shirt to remind everyone how important this election really is!
Available only at garybaseman.com

In the US, the fight to preserve democracy is at play as we simultaneously battle the COVID-19 crisis. With possible fewer polling places and challenges to mail-in and early voting, voter suppression could disempower citizens who simply want a say in who leads this country.
#vote #november3 #tshirt #garybaseman #baseman

These shirts were proudly 100% made in LA, these premium quality t-shirts are available in three different colors in both unisex/men’s and women’s sizes.
Shipping starts the first week of AUGUST.

NOVEMBER 3rd is the big day for US Elections. Make sure you’re registered.

During COVID, I’m definitely missing my favorite

During COVID, I’m definitely missing my favorite KazuNori handrolls. You can’t get them to-go, you gotta eat them immediately. So during this time of COVID, you can’t get them.
@kazunorisushi @sugarfishbynozawa #kazunori #sugarfish #handrolls #nozawa @dinela @discoverla #garybaseman #baseman
These handrolls are made fresh, and you are supposed to eat them immediately, but if you scroll, you’ll see I usually do a drawing on the brown paper to turn the rolls into a “Blackie the Cat Handroll” or an “Ahwroo Handroll.”
In the big scheme of things of what is going on in our nation, I can easily sacrifice. But I found these drawings and wanted to share.

HAPPY CATURDAY STROLL!
This is only one minute of a long 15 minute Caturday morning adventure.
As many of you know during Blackie the Cat’s recovery and through the pandemic, he has picked up the Art of STROLLING.
I’ve been obsessively documenting Blackie the Cat’s strolls every day and evening.
#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow #happycaturday
He’s lost a lot of weight from his illness. We have good days and not so good days. But we are doing our best.
Let me know if you enjoy these strolling videos as much as I love making them.

We should spend more time in the bushes!
This old rough fabric design I did for Coach, reminds me of when Blackie the Cat & I roam inside the bushes around the yard.

During this time of Covid, I’ve been documenting Blackie the Cat during his strolls, which means following him inside bushes sometimes.

If you look closely at my creatures, you’ll notice a running theme, they are all FOOLS FOR LOVE.
Willing to melt themself’s down, cut off a limb. They would rather sacrifice themselves than live in this world without truly feeling alive. ❤️
