Draw yourself Content! 

27/2/2014

Yesterday I decided I need my own visual reminder.
I'm not sure if it is cabin fever (I am so looking forward to spring!) or the fact that the big 50 is fast approaching, but I've been exceptionally 'Moody' LOL -
I am sure Norm & Storm have another word for it. 
 It is what it is. 
I have decided to embrace 50 - of course, and remember I am lucky to be alive! We all are. Any day above ground is a good day. I feel good  turning 50, I feel strong enough to eliminate any bullshit from my life and bring in what I need. 
I will surround myself with love and continue to focus on being 'content'.

I was going to draw myself happy! Happy is over rated. I've had several conversations lately with a few and it has me thinking. One friend said 'all her friends are happily married'  to which my reply was 'bullshit'. Really? - Why pretend life is so great all the time, instead we should be honest with each other and try to help each other - even talking it through with someone helps. I 'bitch' to my bud Cathy especially,  she listens and then usually gives me something to compare and before you know it,  you see - it's not just you. 
 
No, we (the majority) would rather say - 'our life is perfect',  and take antidepressants to THINK we can keep it that way...   happily drugged so you don' give a shit about anything and just go with the flow. 
With divorce rates at over 1/2 - I'd say many people are lying.  
A couple of others are in new relationships and  I am truly happy for them but,  when you turn 50 you see several times over - sure a new relationship is fantastic for about 2-3 years...  and who would not want that feeling!? It is the greatest addiction in the world LOVE.  But this 'being happy' all the time - not very realistic.  I wish more people would look for content.
If we learn that life is not all about happy we learn to cope and then - focus on making it content. Content is good - throw in some happy days and of course sad days - it is the sad that we learn the most IMO and make us who we are today.
Today I choose to be content and in control. 

I painted myself content because I can.  
Now, It l hangs  above my desk and be continually reminded. 
Spring is on the way, I'm surrounded by unconditional love and I am at peace. 
Draw yourself content...  I also did this to help a few beginners! LOL   
Love Georgia  <><

Cultivating Compassion Exhibit!

I AM ready!  
My artwork chosen and framed for my  
Cultivating Compassion exhibit at 
Conspiracy Culture!
My work will be on display from 
March the 8th - April the 26th, 2014.  

I felt honored that Patrick asked me, as Conspiracy Culture is a thinking humans book store!   I like to think that my cartoons do exactly that - GET people thinking! 

Storm and I will also head down to the city to enjoy 4/20!   April 20th, 2014!  
Open special just for that day!! We will be there from 2 - 5. ;) 
 I'll have an easel and will doodle &  teach you how while I'm at it!!
I figure I want to keep it fun and easy, I'll have paper and pencils/crayons for those willing to give it a try! No age requirement needed ;-) 

I will also be talking about what is near and dear to my heart. 
My son and his medicine. Cannabis.  My medicine as well, the medicine of many that I am honored to call friends. Perhaps someone that has a child not well, will come  to the show out of curiosity- that is a start. ;)

 I have no idea or speculate how the day will go, I for one am so TIRED of winter and cabin fever - just the thought brings a huge smile to my face and I can't wait!!! I never need an excuse to spend the day with my son.   Below are a few samples of some work that will be on display! (& for SALE)  Every original comes with a letter of authenticity and a 'Georgia Toons' Limited edition gift bag.  
There will also be a DRAW basket @ the Show - with a framed original  and several other goodies $2.00 a ticket. 
Not a bad deal for a chance at an original.  
Please go and visit! Say hello and if you can come and say hello on the 2oth of April that will be terrific too!  I look forward to every second. 

The most difficult for me was, as always deciding on which originals I will part with.   
My originals are no longer for sale off this website. The only originals available will be custom work or from time to time some framed work that I am showing.  
Simply because,  I can't keep up and do not want to part with  any of my older work.  Thanks once again my friend Kathy of Kat's Gallery and Framing. 
Kat & I friends for years, I usually just ask her to work her magic.  
She did.

Have a peek below! 
Sorry NO *holding or pre sales - I only have enough for the exhibit.  
If you have any questions - don't hesitate to ask! E me! 
To see more You will just have to attend the show! See you there!

I have a new calling! 
 Poppy Couture!

Not only did I create the little hat in only a few moments - for fun - when I tried it on Poppy - thinking it would be off in seconds,  she did not seem to even mind! LOL   

Time to put on the thinking Cap! 
The possibilities are endless! 
Holiday hats! 
Theme hats! 
All colors of  hats!!  
I did see how to make the little roses on PIN. 

I think Poppy's next hat will have to be her Easter Bonnet! 

I am taking a break, resting, catching up.   
Me, give up cartooning? 
Never. 
As long as I am able I will.  xox <>< 
A few details tomorrow on the 'Cultivating Compassion' Exhibit!

Find me somebody to LOVE!

Somebody to LOVE!  
My little leaf look no further,  millions around the world LOVE Cannabis. 
Recreationally it's on the rise with women and young adults. 
Why do you think that is? 
Because research is showing it is safer than Alcohol and many other options. 
IT is proven NOT to be a gateway drug - again studies now show, that honor belongs to - Alcohol.  Think about it - Did you have a drink or a puff first? Be honest. 
Medically - it is being hailed as (FINALLY getting the attention it deserves) a miracle drug - dont believe it - think it's a lie - tell that to the parents  now scrambling to MOVE to a state that provides MEDICINE that STOPS their children from having seizure's, that slowly rob them of a life. I need not remind  you of it's PAIN control or nausea, assists with insomnia, body twitches and MORE - don't forget it helps kill cancerous brain cells- I dare YOU to prove me wrong. 
So 'Find me somebody to LOVE!....'  will never be an issue with this plant.
Yep- This little plant - Has more than enough that LOVE it. 

Happy Valentines day! 
Norm took the day off to hang out! Making breakfast as I type! 
Woot Woot! Bring it on! <><  xox

Our little Poppy was spayed on Monday and is doing terrific! Keeping her calm still is the only difficulty we have.  They did send home two syringes with 'pain medication' for Poppy, but I decided against it after reading side effects.  I am blessed in the fact that I can stay home, provide lots of loving and comfort.  IF I worked I might have reconsidered.  
She is doing fantastic!  Thank God.  Our furry friends are our family as well.

Much to do! Planning for the Show and other stuff on the horizon!  Cabin fever has tried to take over the past few days! I'm determined not to let it...  is so comforting to just see the sunshine! I keep reminding myself and my dogs..  in 3 months we shall return to the garden! (sooner) but to sit by the pool and draw and dream. 
Peace on earth, for me anyhow .

My body is a temple.

FDA approved. Means to me BULLSHIT.  FOOD and Medicine - Bullshit
Time to take control of what we put into our bodies and start at the ROOTS!

The more I read, the more I know, the more I think it's all a big joke. We are the fools. 
Fool me once shame on you Fool me twice shame on me. Done. I will NEVER eat subway again, I've already stopped Mc Donalds. The last time I 'caved to a crave' I had explosive dia..  anyway, for those that are NOT aware:
http://www.torontosun.com/2014/02/06/subway-to-remove-yoga-mat-chemical-from-bread-report
The day before I ate at Subway ;(   
Irony, I was talking to my friend Jim on the phone that day and he was going to go grab a sub, he said his was 'a healthier choice than mine'. 
YEP.  HAD we known the day before about the yoga matts.  NOPE.   I'm done. 
I checked out the FB page and it's all about  'yes, we are removing it'...  
Fool me once shame on you.  Fool me twice.   Shame on me.  
When will we wake the FU*K  UP!  I can tell you truthfully, when suddenly your life is ruled by a menacing twitch in your head that wakes up  and can rule your days and has lasted for 4 years!!!   You start to reconsider what you put in the temple. ;)
Time to go grab a healthy breakfast! Nuts' fruit, honey and tea.
My guys are gone to the sportsman show for the day! 
There will be no living with Storm when they get home after that show- he will be even more excited, he is already experiencing camping withdrawal and boat fishing fever!! 
I will sit at my drawing desk most of the day!  Do what you love!
 
<>< xox 

2/15/14 Note: I thought about this post and will I ever eat a Sub again.... IF. I can't say for sure I won't, I also read it is a lot more than subway that have this 'ingredient' - 
I do not blame Subway or any of them initially - were they aware?? 
 I blame the FDA - clearly they approved it...  them I blame myself (us) for continuing to let this happen.

It's Saturday and the sun is shining! But- Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Baby it's cold out! 
I am always cold! It has definitely been the winter of layering! My hands are freezing - I feel terrible when I pick up my little 'hot pocket Poppy' with these hands.  I have seen Storm recoil as though was touched with hot pokers over the years with my ice cold hands, to the point where on cold days he starts with a "don't touch me!"  LOL 
Poppy is a heat monger! She lies directly in front of vents and refuses to go outside unless it's above '0' (today - now -12) which is fine with me! She does  go to the bathroom in the bathroom, she goes in the middle of the night or early morning.  It really is no big deal and I can not complain as I'm not able to walk her yet. 
I am still having issues with balance and it's not worth a fall on ice right now.
Well here's the thing, when Poppy is not being a dog- her recharging station is my lap. 
To the point where it's a bit of a problem. LOL -  I draw many cartoons down stairs in my chair, Poppy on my lap - makes it somewhat difficult.  So - we saw this great dog bed - Poppy does not have her 'own' & this looked perfect, when not on my lap I can throw her in it and get stuff done, and she can still nap and be warm! 
Like snuggling in a HAT!  We bought one. 
It appears the bed is a hit. We encourage sharing witht he dogs - they all eat from the same dog dish at the same time.
 They all like it! Scruffy had us LOL when we saw her lying like she was in a hot tub! Just like the toon!! But of course the funniest is Daisy. She is determined to have her share.  Where do you get your ideas? 

Lot's to do today! A painting room to sort and more!  Pat your PUP! 
Poppy is also booked to be fixed Monday Morning and I am a mess! We pick her up Monday night - I can't wait. She is so tiny! Smaller than out cat! 6.6 lbs  More reason for me to get things accomplished so I can baby my baby Tuesday and Wednesday....

It's Friday! Yippie! 
The week flew bye! I find I am accomplishing much but still have so much to do! YIKES,
I've been trying to get into my supply room to clean it for weeks! Hopefully this will be the weekend. To be honest I realize it's February and I am feeling exhausted, but I am able to say - because I have no work that is demanding or on a time deadline, relax.  
Pour a tea, look at all that snow and grab a sweater and a book and possibly a nap. 
I feel blessed to be able to do all of the above.  
I have about 11 drawings on my desk and they will wait patiently until I'm ready.  
January was a roller coaster and I feel only now are things starting to settle - I hope to return to a routine of blogs very shortly - it's not for a lack of material- as the day wears on so do I. 
My twitch very strong in the evening, making time with a computer only frustrating. Usually from about 5:00p.m. I'm done.  Family time, dinner, relax, talk about the day and perhaps watch a movie.
I also have all the details for the show underway and all the originals framed! I can relax - More details about the show very soon! I am terribly excited! Not even thinking about my twitch! It must be the power of my cabin fever kicking in! LOL  It's the excitement of sharing what I do and love with those  who also care! Possibly educating a parent and saving them from having to experience what we did!  I can't wait!! ;-) A few drawing lessons also-  bonus. Fun for me and someone else. 

The cartoon above was a joke told to me last week. I giggled and instantly I could visualize them in a boat. I had to draw it.  It still has me giggling.  What some find amusing others will look at and think "?"  There is no crime in that. 
The crime is when we don't draw for fear of those that do not like it. 
It's just an opinion. 
Have faith! In yourself!   xox <><
