WHERE EAST MEETS SOUTHWEST! I haven’t seen this WHERE EAST MEETS SOUTHWEST!
I haven’t seen this old commercial in years that I designed. This was for @chilis where a rabbit rides a “chili”through the center of the earth like Major Kong riding the atomic bomb to Asia! I fought to keep a scene where he passes all these demons in the core of the earth, but the client would not have it. They didn’t want any lil devils in their commercial. 
Dr. JACKRABBIT LOVE: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Eggrolls!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SNOOPY! Blackie the Cat bit my NOS HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SNOOPY!
Blackie the Cat bit my NOSE 24 times drawing blood. Serious Love Bites!
I’m remembering this while I paint my upcoming Beijing exhibition celebrating him.
Blackie & I loved Snoopy!!! So does Bosko too!!
Snoopy inspired me so much as a child, and I have so many childhood drawings with the Peanut characters!

Such a BAD ASS! Blackie the Cat was my HERO! He wa Such a BAD ASS! Blackie the Cat was my HERO! He was tough and determined till the end. 
As I continue to paint for my Fall Beijing exhibition, I love to look back at our photos & videos! I do so every morning as I start my day.
This photo was taken at the beginning of the worse of times, when Blackie returned home from the vet. He was determined to go for strolls, even when his body was giving out. #blackiethecatshow #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman
I love this photo capturing his strength.
A Margarita Toast to SHARON TATE and her friend’ A Margarita Toast to SHARON TATE and her friend’s memory on the 53rd anniversary of their murders by the CHARLES MANSON FAMILY. It is notoriously known that Sharon had her last meal at El Coyote. I started this drawing during a meal there. I included Sharon, her best friend, celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Wojciech Frykowski. Charlie is being tortured in the center of the table. His Manson Demon Girls are all around. Maybe you can spot a cameo of Sharon’s husband, director Roman Polanski, and music producer Terry Melcher, who used to live at 10050 Cielo Drive before the Polanskis, and who Charlie tried to get a music deal from.
#elcoyote #sharontate Who is going to @elcoyotecafe this evening? I wonder who reserved their booth tonight?
ON THE 7TH DAY, GOD CREATED DOG! I love this SISTI ON THE 7TH DAY, GOD CREATED DOG!
I love this SISTINE CHAPEL painting from our film DISNEY’S TEACHER’S PET! In our film we created homages to many favorite iconic paintings. This one was painted by our Emmy-Award winning Background Painter, @seonnahong 
#teacherspet @disney @disneyplus 
We snuck in many of our talented Teacher’s Pet crew in this painting. We had Seonna paint me where Michelangelo painted himself, as the SKIN.
Happy Birthday ANDY WARHOL! Woke up this morning f Happy Birthday ANDY WARHOL!

Andy Warhol Take One.
Twin Peaks! This Red Room still hides somewhere in Twin Peaks!
This Red Room still hides somewhere in the back of my darkest thoughts. I was obsessed with David Lynch’s series when it first came out. 
I love my version of this iconic room, with Toby as “the man from another place,” and Laura Palmer as a Wild Girl, and Special Agent Cooper as Special Agent Cooper.

The Best FEEL-AWKWARD Film of the Year!!! Toby jus The Best FEEL-AWKWARD Film of the Year!!! Toby just witnessed the @helloflux premiere of I LOVE MY DAD at @largolosangeles and afterparty at @norms last night! ALL the cool kids came out @billieeilish & @finneas for @claudiasulewski performance! Based on @jamesmorosini TRUE very f*cked up “coming of age” with the internet story that he starred, wrote, and directed! @pattonoswalt plays his attention hungry father! Speaking of hungry, Norms had the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich hors d’oeuvres at the afterparty! This film is heartfelt and painful with the most “awkward” KISSING scene EVER!
Happy Birthday Mom! Today is the anniversary of my Happy Birthday Mom!
Today is the anniversary of my mom, Naomi Baseman’s birthday. I can’t believe this year will mark the 10th year that you have been gone. 
A lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same. But how nutty the world has been in the last 3 years, nothing compares to what you and dad went through and survived! And how after all that trauma, you raised your four children to live optimistic lives and to be “hard workers and good people.” I don’t need to say I love you. But you know I do. I love you.
BOSKO’S FIRST PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT! Thanks @ BOSKO’S FIRST PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT!
Thanks @cat_portraits.la @izzoimages & @ericminhswenson for setting it up and cutting this behind the scenes video so quickly!
#catportraitsla #ericminhswenson 
Looking forward to seeing how the photos turn out!
SHINE ON, RICHARD TAIT. Richard with his partner, SHINE ON, RICHARD TAIT.
Richard with his partner, Whit Alexander created the board game, Cranium, and for 10 years had me create the characters and visual identity of Cranium and all their manifestations. Whit recently let me know that Richard passed away. Way too young. They both worked for MicroSoft but wanted to create the ultimate board game! And they did. #cranium #richardtait
SWIMMING WITH SHARKS! 9 years ago today, my pal an SWIMMING WITH SHARKS!
9 years ago today, my pal and brilliant photographer, @michaelmuller7 took Toby to meet a Great White Shark! This is one of the few, if not the only photo in my Toby Travel photos I personally didn’t take! 💙💙💙
BLACKIE THE CAT WAS MY EVERYTHING! As I’m workin BLACKIE THE CAT WAS MY EVERYTHING!
As I’m working away on a special Beijing Exhibition celebrating the Life & Teachings of Blackie the Cat, it melts my heart to look back at the Best & Most Difficult times of our relationship!
Two years ago today, I had to take Blackie to the emergency room which was the beginning of the end, forcing me to accept our fate and to make sense of how special he had been in my life. I can now take those hours and hours of Blackie the Cat strolling and prepare an installation for everyone to experience, along with so much more!

ILLUSTRATION THEN! and NOW! My @taschen book cover ILLUSTRATION THEN! and NOW!
My @taschen book cover from 2005/2006!
Love this cover and the story on how it happened!! I was concentrating as a Painter exclusively for 6 years when Taschen asked me to do the cover. I thought I moved away from Illustration but I felt it was an honor that they offered. But, as I worked as a painter, away from traditional illustration, I was also creating TV, Film, Urban Vinyl, Fashion etc, and developed my term Pervasive Art. My definition of Pervasive Art was that I felt an artist, staying true to their point of view, one can and should work in any medium, creating work that could be perceived EVERYWHERE.
