HITCHCOCK makes a cameo!
In one of my new paintings for my upcoming New Zealand exhibition,
Alfred Hitchcock shows up as a Moa Bird in this 4x6 ft painting titled, Wings of Desire. He’s one of my favorite directors, and also recently made another cameo in one of my Musso’s drawings. #garybaseman #baseman #momentomoa @alfredhitchcockofficial #alfredhitchcock

IN THE CORNER POCKET!
After a long emotional day going to a funeral and celebrating the life of an old FAIRFAX HIGH friend, I reconnected with other old Fairfax pals, that ended us all playing a NINE BALL pool tournament. Even though I really don’t play pool, luck and magic shined on me, allowing me to make the most incredible shots, which deemed the evening “Legendary!.”

Come to NELSON, New Zealand for my upcoming exhibition, MEMENTO MOA.

This painting is titled, “Nothing Lasts Forever.”
My first of 6 4x6 ft paintings for my upcoming MEMENTO MOA exhibition in New Zealand in early March.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
Here is the first of 6 4x6 ft paintings for my upcoming MEMENTO MOA exhibition in New Zealand in early March.
This museum exhibition had been postponed 3 times due to the pandemic.
I’m still feeling a bit sleep deprived, but I wanted to share with everyone this first painting.
I’m excited to bring back the extinct Moa back to Aotearoa.

Nothing Lasts Forever.
Here is a detail from the painting of the same name.
I’ve only had 1 1/2 hours sleep as I was up almost all last night painting for my Memento Moa exhibition in New Zealand.
I need to take a nap.

Mourning.
As I continue painting for my New Zealand exhibition about memory and mortality, remembrance and loss, I seem to be surrounded lately by many untimely deaths.
Here is a little late night detail from one of my upcoming paintings.
Hug someone you care about, or just call a dear friend you haven’t spoken to in a while.

I remember this photo of me doing a live painting 15 years ago in Russia.

PAINTING, PAINTING, PAINTING.
All I have been doing is painting, as I try to finish up my New Zealand museum exhibition, Memento Moa.

This is such an emotional and personal exhibition based on the themes of migration, history, memory, and our eventual extinction.
