Ghouls & Goblins! “Cypress Park Beauty Salon”

Ghouls & Goblins!
“Cypress Park Beauty Salon” was one of my paintings from my 2012 Walking Through Walls exhibition.
This painting was based on one of my favorite photos from my Halloween photo collection.
This year I continued to the series of paintings from my personal mask photo collection.
Yes, everyday is Halloween to me, especially in October.
#maskphotos #nightmaresofhalloweenpast #boo #garybaseman #baseman
I’ve collected more that 2000 original photos of people in masks. We were supposed to publish our book of my collection, but unfortunately, we need to find a new publisher.

THE PURR ROOM, our immersive healing Art Installat

THE PURR ROOM, our immersive healing Art Installation first took place 2 years ago today.
My now late amazing talking animal companion, Blackie the Cat offered the gift of his healing Triple Purr to share his teachings to the world.
I’m so grateful I was able to collaborate with Blackie the Cat on this special project. I miss his real amazing Triple Purr.
@theotherartfair #theotherartfair #blackiebaseman #blackiethecat #meow #thepowerofpurr #garybaseman #baseman #barkerhangar #theotherartfairla
The first two incarnations were at the Other Art Fair at the Barker Hangar, LA and Truman Brewery in London.
This installation was a response to the chaos and noise of the world and daily news. Before entering, attendees were asked to pause and think about who they love unconditionally, what a hug feels like, and to draw a favorite pet. After this orientation, a single person or small group entered to sit on or lie on a faux fur Cat Bed inside The Purr Room to listen and feel the “power of purr.”
Blackie the Cat and I were thankful to our dynamic creative team and all that experienced and attended.

Blackie the Cat as Catrin! 🖤💀

I’ve been working on 9 5x7 Dia de Los Muertos Blackie the Cat drawings. These are very emotional and special to me. I imagined Blackie as CATrin celebrating The Day of the Dead.
Blackie loved Dia de Los Muertos, and this past year, he had a few dances with La Calavera Catrina, but he always came back to me. But on August 22, 2020, his little physical body gave out and he became CATrin, and followed La Catrina over the bridge to the afterlife.

If you are interested in one of these new original drawings of Blackie as CATrin. Please write contact@garybaseman.com. We also just release a very special 17 x 14 print, signed and numbered, which are much more affordable and perfect for your Dia de Los Muertos altar.

VOTE!
I was happy to paint this for the ICA LA’s INCOGNITO fundraiser that happened last weekend. Over 400 artists donated art to their yearly fundraiser. Every art piece is anonymous and signed on the back.

Trick or Treat!
And I’m sure Blackie’s trick has to do with his Mighty Paw!
I seemed to have started a series of 5x7 inch Blackie the Cat Halloween drawings. Just like the Dia de Los Muertos Blackie drawings, these are very emotional and special to me. Blackie and I always loved Halloween. And, of course, I miss him every day.

It took me a bit to realize the green dude wasn’t an alien but a crayon. I think.

Self-Portraits with Blackie the Cat. I’m happy to continue to share more from this series. While Blackie was ill, I started experimenting on a series of drawings based on my selfies taken with Blackie the Cat over the years.

#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow

They are all together in a special sketchbook. These drawings were very therapeutic. I’ve been enjoying making these drawings from life in a new way, capturing lines and details that represent our unique bond.

Blackie the Cat was one BAD ASS STROLLER! 🖤
This was only 45 sec of a Perfect 5:30 min Boulevard Stroll.
During the beginnings of COVID, Blackie the Cat picked up the Art of STROLLING and made it his own.
I was obsessed by his passion and documented 100 hours of Blackie the Cat’s strolls.

#theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow

I get mesmerized watching these videos. I hope to honor Blackie’s strolls in a large video installation one day. And since we are in the month of October, I’m finding ways to honor him as I prepare for Dia de Los Muertos.

Thank you again for your love and sympathy on learning about the passing of Blackie the Cat.
Happy Caturday.
