My trust in humanity is recovered (... a bit 😂 )

If you find yourself in the Detroit area be sure to swing by @cranbrookartmuseum and check out this exhibit! We, along with @squibblesink contributed several pieces. 😎⁣ ⁣ #Repost @cranbrookartmuseum⁣ ・・・⁣ "Wild Vinyl: Designer Art Toys" is now on view through June 23!⁣ ⁣ The exhibition showcases a variety of designer toys from individual sculptural figures to outlandish monsters, and will focus on limited edition artist creations and serial productions. Like prints and other forms of art produced in multiples, seriality and variation on a theme dominate the art toy genre. [Wild Vinyl: Designer Art Toys, installation view.

BOSKO busy drawing a SELF-PORTRAIT! I love how Bosko keeps experimenting to learn his talents!! #boskothecat #bosko #sonofblackiebaseman #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow I personally think his drawing is pretty good. He’s a bit hard on himself since he doesn’t have opposable thumbs. https://www.instagram.com/p/COiKhF9ntMm/?igshid=awx4zcyrj03i

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! 💔 #boskothecat #bosko #sonofblackiebaseman #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman #meow 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. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNk2pPKnl4v/?igshid=1vnkg6bkbo81y

4 years ago this time, I was lounging with Sea Monsters in the South of France. #beaulieusurmer #leberluganalaplage #yellow #frenchriviera #france #beachclub #garybaseman #baseman I drew “A Day at @Berlugan_a_la_Plage Beach Club” in my sketchbook during this amazing summer trip. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjZsVin-sN/?igshid=b3gkaj2yrg2z

MYTHICAL HOMELAND. Seven years ago today I was proud to exhibit this body of work that represented the Dream Reality version of my parents’ life journey at Shulamit Gallery in Venice, CA. Not only did I create paintings of how the birch forest saved my parents’ lives, I recreated a birch forest in the gallery, where the paintings were nailed to the trees. We produced this exhibition not only in the gallery in Venice, but also in Miami and in Edinburgh, Scotland. This body of work celebrated my parents’ amazing will to survive during WWII, first losing everything-their parents, friends, their hometowns, all their possessions-and then finding love and coming together to start again in a new world. #mythicalhomeland @shulamitnazarian #garybaseman #baseman This installation included not only paintings and drawings and a literal birch forest, but I also sprinkled in my parents’ possessions and photographs throughout the trees and grass. We also exhibited a short version of my documentary Mythical Creatures that has yet to completed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-M98rn8OP/?igshid=1mktl0w2h180e
