I’m so grateful Blackie lived his 9 lives with me. I believed he lived more than 9 lives. I did these drawings with him sitting next to me inspiring me. He was a saint, a punk, Joker, a protector, and mostly my best friend in the whole wide world.

Blackie was the coolest and loved THE BIG LEBOWSKI.
I drew this while Blackie hung out next to me. He was curious to see how I would draw him as The Dude.

I drew this while Blackie hung out next to me. He loved this film, and even though he thought Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing performance, he thought he could do better.

Caturday.
Missing my best friend.
I’m not ready yet, but you should think about adopting a cat or a kitten, even a puppy or a dog. They can save your life, especially during this pandemic.

The Coolest Cat.
Blackie the Cat always had “STAR” quality. He knew it but was always humble.
I loved when I interviewed Blackie the Cat asking him “How does it feel to be so cool?”

The Magical Brilliance of Blackie the Cat.
I loved experiencing Blackie’s Triple Purr. I never minded being on the other end of Blackie’s Mighty Paw. Blackie had the “gift of gab” during the Blackie the Cat Show, and had such athletic prowess as the Greatest Strolling Cat.

The GREATEST STROLLING CAT!
He was a “work of art.”
This is 43 seconds of a 5:30 minute Perfect Boulevard Stroll.
During Blackie the Cat’s recovery during the time of COVID, Blackie the Cat picked up the Art of STROLLING and made it his own.
I was obsessed by his passion and documented 100 hours of Blackie the Cat’s strolls.

#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow

I get mesmerized when I watch these videos. I hope to honor Blackie’s strolls in a large video installation one day.

The many faces of Blackie the Cat.
Blackie prided himself on being the Lon Chaney of Cats, nicknamed "The Cat of a Thousand Faces,” having many different looks, which is not easy for a Black Cat. But he was the master.

A different type of Caturday.
I drew this exactly one week after Blackie the Cat passed away. I drew it in the spot where he took his last breath, which is also the location of some of our best memories.

He played such a big role in my life the past 14 1/2 years, especially during this Covid self isolation. My home is a lot quieter now.
