EXTRA THANK YOU!

Good Night, Big Eyes!
The painter, Margaret Keane, passed away. I would say I painted this homage in honor of her work, but I have to give credit to my imaginary wife, Gertrude Baseman. #margaretkeane #bigeyes
You can see Bosko helped with his own Big Eyes.

‘Ketchup Dripping Down the Wall’
Amazing testimony today how Trump threw his lunch against the wall because he was so upset that his aides and the Secret Service hadn’t taken him to Capitol Hill. Besides trying to strangle a secret service agent. #january6th #garybaseman #baseman

I can’t believe our country’s Supreme Court regressed 50 years in turning Women into second class citizens.
All Women should have the freedom to choose in these United States. Today is a sad and dark day with the overturning of Roe vs Wade. Everyone needs to get out and vote this November.

THE GREAT BLACKIE THE CAT!
I’m so happy to dive into my archive of art & photos of Blackie the Cat in producing an immersive Fall Exhibition!
This rare photo was taken 2 years ago today, June 22, 2020. It’s rare because Blackie usually was NEVER on a leash. We went DTLA for a photo shoot and we in unfamiliar territory. #blackiethecatshow #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman

Celebrating Juneteenth, the emancipation of Africa

Celebrating Juneteenth, the emancipation of African-Americans! Even though it’s been 157 years, the fight for civil rights and liberties goes on. This short video remembers the recent peaceful protests that Toby, I, and millions participated in during the pandemic to demand justice for those slain because of the color of their skin. We need equal justice and equal rights for all. #juneteenth

Happy Father’s Day!!
Here we are on the SKYWAY at Disneyland in the mid1960s! We took these portraits of each other high above the Happiest Place on Earth.
These photos are the perfect visual metaphor, since my dad always encouraged me that the sky’s the limit from my Fantasyland to Tomorrowland!
Growing up in Los Angeles, I lived for that one day a year, where my parents would take me to Disneyland and I was never disappointed. #disneyland #fathersday
Remembering my parents today and everyday.

Today would have been my parent’s 76th Wedding A

Today would have been my parent’s 76th Wedding Anniversary. My Mother and Father got married at the Linz-Bindermichel displacement camp in Austria. After surviving such unbelievable horror and loss during the Second World War, they found LOVE, and were married for 63 years till my father passed. ❤️

THE GANG’S ALL HERE at @mussoandfrankgrill Satu

THE GANG’S ALL HERE at @mussoandfrankgrill
Saturday evening, I hung out at the bar for a martini and a bite. Surrounded by Hollywood history, the real and imagined, the famous and infamous, living and dead, the wannabes and the bes, the hungry and the stuffed. The ghosts and those who don’t know they are dead yet are still mingling at this haunt. I love it. The magic.
#mussoandfrank #garybaseman #baseman
I did miss Sonny not being there, but I appreciated Ian making us feel like home.
