1st BASEMAN BOOTH Drawing!
Had breakfast at @canters_deli on Sunday and deflowered my booth with the first of hopefully many drawings!
A type of meta-drawing, adding details from my past drawings on the wall!

HAPPY KID! HAPPY SUNDAY! This is ME in 6th Grade

HAPPY KID!
HAPPY SUNDAY!
This is ME in 6th Grade at 3rd St School!
I’ve never seen this photo till yesterday when my old 6th Grade Teacher, Mr. Merkelson emailed it to me!
I was such a HAPPY KID, especially when I was drawing. I’m sure the Drumming Bird was a homage to Ringo with that big Poka-dotted beak!

A NEW good reason to eat at Canter’s!
A Gary Baseman Booth!
Such an honor to have a booth of my sketchbook drawings all done while eating at Canter’s.
Each drawing tells a story!
This booth is dedicated to my mom, Naomi, who was the head bakery sales lady at Canter’s for 35 years.

Shhhh…I’m INCOGNITO!
Can you find me in the forest?
I love participating and donating my art to @theicala for their INCOGNITO charity auction each year. I allow myself to experiment on a new body of work and secretly present it at the event. And all the funds go to keeping up the museum.

Remembering my Mom, Naomi Baseman on this Mother’s Day. ❤️
I can’t believe this year marks the 10th anniversary of her passing. I think about her and my dad everyday. #naomibaseman #happymothersday #mom
I’m excited about an upcoming permanent installation that will honor my mom in the Fairfax Neighborhood! ❤️

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Love this @newyorkermag cove

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Love this @newyorkermag cover of the little bird bringing his mom breakfast in bed! It just happens to be his lil twin brothers!
And this week is its 20th anniversary of the publication!
I’ll always be grateful to @fmtoon & David Remnick for printing it.
My mom, Naomi, was so proud. And my dad! I think it’s time for me to have another New Yorker cover.

CELEBRATING WONDERFULLY ALONE. SKY BAR, May 6, 200

CELEBRATING WONDERFULLY ALONE.
SKY BAR, May 6, 2002.
Twenty years ago today was a very special week. My art was on the cover of the @newyorkermag for Mother’s Day, and I was nominated for my first Emmy.
I wanted to celebrate the moment so I took myself to the Sky Bar on the Sunset Strip with a martini and my sketchbook.
I feared at the end of the week, I would not win the Emmy and I would get depressed, so I wanted to appreciate the moment. Little did I know, I would actually win my first Emmy for Disney’s Teacher’s Pet.

I know Cinco de Mayo isn’t a real Mexican holiday but any excuse to celebrate Mexico is a good excuse.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!
I drew this during breakfast this morning!!
Actually, I drew the original version one year ago today in my sketchbook when I imagined Lil Bosko driving “Baby Yoda” aka Grogu, crazy with his energy!💚
