I AM YOUR PIÑATA!
I can’t believe today is the 20th anniversary of this exhibition, “I am Your Piñata and Other Paintings of Love and Sacrifice” where I explored the topics of human frailty and relationships. I dug deep into self-acceptance, exposing my own personal frailty and insecurities to help learn small truths about the human condition. How do we open ourselves up “to not be afraid to be hit my the big stick of life”?

How many LIVES do you have left?
Which life are you living now in the cycle of our NINE LIVES?
I believe every 10-13 years we move into a new life experience.
I created this painting as one of my major images for this NINE LIVES exhibition. I first drew this image on Feb 27, 2020, when Blackie was deathly ill, but he recovered to live the last of his 9 lives. I became obsessed with this image, drew it on a Chateau Marmont stationary, then painted this image on my latest sketchbook cover, and, eventually painting it on a 18x24 canvas.
NINE LIVES, my 3600 sq ft Solo Exhibition in Beijing China, is at the Wrong Gallery in the 798 Art District. #ninelives #blackiethecatshow #wronggallery_beijing #garybaseman #baseman
I hope one of your life times will be able to experience this exhibition. Please tell all your friends in China about my exhibition!

LEARN THE HISTORY OF BLACKIE THE CAT.
We created a LIBRARY in my NINE LIVES exhibition to educate everyone about Blackie’s accomplishments and our special bound. We added Blackie’s artifacts, books he authored, our photos, and original art.
This is one of many art installations in my 3600 sq ft Solo Exhibition in Beijing China at the Wrong Gallery in the 798 Art District.
This immersive exhibition celebrates Blackie the Cat, through painting, drawing, sculpture, video, art installation, and sound. My goal is to create an Art Experience for those who have never known Blackie the Cat to create a true emotional attachment.

My Nightmare of Halloween Past is SOLD OUT. But we still have a few “The Bad Luck 13 Monster Gang” Print left. If you own the book, it’s not complete without this Limited Edition Print. It’s like having a Phantom limb!

Another Birthday!
Spending so much time on my upcoming exhibition, Nine Lives,
it makes one think about how many lives one has lived so far, and how many do we have left. How we go through cycles and reinvent ourselves every 9-13 years. Well, at least, I have.
I’ve generally been blessed with an existence of living as an artist my entire life. I’m grateful for it, I know I made this choice but I don’t take it for granted. I also know health, friendship, community, love, and giving back need to play as important a role.
Bosko and I and the memory of Blackie the Cat thank everyone for your love and support.

BOSKO’S always on my mind!
Bosko’s getting bigger, turning 2 years old, but he will always be my baby.
Here is a sampling of our self portraits since we have been together! He has always been stylish!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, BOSKO!
I can’t believe how much Bosko has grown and developed since he came into my life. I’m proud how Bosko has become “The World’s Greatest Flying Cat!” He’s been a fine student of the Teachings of Blackie the Cat and a great assistant as we prep for our upcoming Beijing exhibition.
#boskobaseman #garybaseman #baseman
Please everyone wish BOSKO a Happy Birthday! 💙💛

Two Birthdays are coming up and a big opening in the next few days.
But no one will get a cake as beautiful like this.
@conjurers_kitchen made this cake to honor Blackie the Cat at his memorial last year.
I’ve been buried with work and didn’t know what to post so I dreamt of this beautiful creation.

TODAY is ELIFANT APPRECIATION DAY!
So we cut a special video of BLACKIE THE CAT battling the RED ELIFANTS. As we prepare for our big NINE LIVES exhibition in Beijing, we will celebrate his MIGHTY PAW. #elephantappreciationday #blackiethecatshow #blackiebaseman #ninelives #garybaseman #baseman
Blackie the Cat knocked down these Red Elifants for over 10 years as a ritual remembering his Family Plight, soon to be a book.
