BOSKO vs. the CROWS! Outnumbered a hundred to one.

BOSKO vs. the CROWS!
Outnumbered a hundred to one.
One day, I’ll be able to share the complete adventure!
Let’s just say, somehow BOSKO snuck up the Crow’s Sacred Tree on a secret mission and was found out!

I was called in to save Secret Agent BOSKO, and things got crazier. And all of this took place in a cemetery on Easter. I can’t even discuss the attack of the bunnies afterwards.
Happy Caturday!

BOSKO’s WILD DREAM!

Laying in the Park at @thelabreatarpits with Bosko, his Wild Dream popped into my head and I had to draw it out in my sketchbook.

BABUSHKAT!
Lil BOSKO was inspired by seeing a photo I took one year ago of BLACKIE the CAT dressed as a babushka. So he wanted to honor him by taking a photo this year.

Blackie the Cat knew about my Eastern European heritage and Lil Bosko is now learning this family history.

I started drawing and painting some versions of me now with my long Covid Pandemic Isolation Long Hair as my late best friend and muse, Blackie the Cat.

I was originally going to cut my hair once I got my vaccine but I don’t know yet. BOSKO seems to enjoy it as a playground. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback about my long hair. So I’m playing it by ear.

BOSKO lost his ONLY ONE WHITE WHISKER!!!
I had to draw this!
And make another post about Bosko’s whisker loss.
Bosko has always had his TRADEMARK “Only One White Whisker! Until now.
He even liked being called O2W2, because he felt “Bosko” was a bit formal.
And now his White Whisker is gone!!
Our hearts are broken! 💔

We are offering a REWARD of an original drawing of Bosko if anyone can find and return Bosko’s Only One White Whisker. No questions asked. We just want it returned safely.

IN ALL MY GLORY!
20 years ago today.
I love lecturing about art around the world. In the late 90s and early 2000s, I started lecturing about “Pervasive Art,” where I felt it was important for an artist for create and challenge themselves to work in many different mediums. Back then, individual art disciples loved to penguin hole artists to stay in one approach. You were either an illustrator or a painter, or an animator, or toy artist, for example. I worked hard to bust the boundaries that kept an artist in only one area. I still do.

This poster was extra special and controversial. The original printer refused to print the poster because of the “nose.”
I then created a sticker of a fig leaf to cover the nose which said “sometimes a nose is just a nose.”

WILD THING.
I was planning to cut my hair after my 2nd dose of the vaccine, but BOSKO likes it too much.

My Childhood Home. Looks like my family is selling

My Childhood Home.
Looks like my family is selling the fourplex my parents scraped up and bought miraculously in the early 60s.
#home #childhood #garybaseman #baseman
My parents were Holocaust Survivors, immigrants who arrived to America with nothing but scars and dreams. My father took up work as an electrician, and my mother worked at Canter’s Bakery.
They did everything for their family. And I was their American Dream Accident Baby, ten years younger to my next sibling.
I recently walked by the home I lived from 6 months to 5 years old. I love this happy fading photo of me in front of the entrance door.

SOUL BEAST #1 will always be ANDERSON .PAAK!
Four years ago, I connected with Anderson in Barcelona and painted the back of his Coach jacket. Anderson & the Free Nationals were the nicest and coolest. They were touring with @BrunoMars thru Europe. #andersonpaak @anderson._paak @freenationals @coach #freenationals #coachxbaseman #garybaseman #baseman @offfest #barcelona #spain #espana #comedown
It was right after his hit “Come down” came out which made me fall in love with his music.

SKETCHBOOKS. Going through almost 40 years of SKET

SKETCHBOOKS.
Going through almost 40 years of SKETCHBOOKS today.
Well, not every one but samples through different decades.
I’ve always kept a sketchbook by my side. Always.
#garybaseman #baseman #sketchbooks #drawings
Most people have never seen me without a sketchbook by my side.
It might be obsessive, but it’s how I have lived my life observing and interpreting the world.
