Painting peace,  in more ways than one.

I'm painting! It's been a few months, I can't help it, in the winter I can sit at my drawing desk for hours on end! In the summer - forget it, I need to be outside. Luckily, I have a covered porch where I can set up my easel, paint and watch the dogs play.  I started the painting 'Peace', 2 years ago but for what ever 
reason, I only just decided it was time to paint it.
Painting for me is pure meditation, often someone will yell or sigh "come eat" "put your brush down for a minute" lol - hard to do when painting brings me such peace. Just painting the Trichomes took me about 2 hours, I had so much fun .. many hidden symbols. 

I am surrounded my my pets as you can see and there is no place I'd rather be. 

I found painting this so relaxing I have started 2 more. Do what you love.

Introducing: Running with Buddha

Introducing Running with Buddha.

Many of you might not be aware of my Hempy Stalkers.... probably because every year I am lucky if I can produce 10. This year only 8.  Each Hempy stalker is made with THC & TLC  & every year they get better and better. It’s only been 3 and like any other work you get better and fine tune it as you go along.  The problem is - NOT a problem for me - I have a few collectors that come back every year, so in essence they are sold before I even display them.

NOT this year!’
I did 2 things. I told all, they have to wait until the EXPO is officially one before they can purchase anything and Running with Buddha is NOT for sale. I decided that  with my ‘show special’ (More on that Wed.) 100 bags- every bag purchased is the only way you also get a chance to WIN Running with Buddha. 1 in 100, those are pretty good odds! 
If you do not win you still get an awesome limited edition bag full of Happy Hippie stuff. 
This way someone that might not be able to afford a Hempy Stalker can possibly own one.

My hubby is right now in the garage building me an awesome display!  Just for my Stalkers ;-) Each made with THC & TLC! Here are a couple of photo of Running with Buddha but like everything else ‘she’ is much more beautiful in real life.  

Of course there will be several available to purchase they are priced from $65.00 Up to $400. for “the Twins”  if you are interested you better decide early...   

Each takes a long time to make, almost a full year, proper drying and prep  then painting, bringing to life - most of them guide me as to what they become ;-)  I add little details, charms, beads, glass and what ever else seems to want to be part of Hempy Stalker ART. 

I have had Running with Buddha on display in my own living room and it is going to be hard to part with. Not one person walks by and does not make a comment! What a wonderful way to start a conversation about Cannabis.  Ideal for a Compassion CLUB, HOME. OFFICE anywhere!   I have a friend with one on order after the EXPO  to display in her store front window! EXCITING! 

To me they are sculpture, art...  that is what they are, NOT for Children. They are not toys. They are a little delicate but made to be handled, touched and appreciated for all they are, and all they represent! 
      LIFE - GROWTH and LOVE.

Want to see more!? See you at the EXPO and I will have a blog with all the Stalkers after the EXPO - sorry no point even showing them now, I don’t like to tell people “No.”

We are talking and planning garden!
We are thinking, healing herbs and  healthy vegetables!  I have been searching PIN - ton's of fantastic gardening ideas. Tips and tricks!
How to attract butterflies! 
I plan on spending as much time as possible in my garden this year I have even researched   plants for by the pool. 

Grow! Live and eat off your own land if you can. 
It is not easy - nothing in life is.  It is HEALTHIER!!!
I am so excited! My project for this Easter weekend! 
Tomorrow is Good Friday and I am taking the day off to think, reflect on  life! 
New life and hope in a seed... Tomato and Mustard.

An art show! I have a few friends who are all artists, as well as Theresa, an artist herself with her  healing massage & welcoming presence, I just know the 2 days will be awesome!  
I have known Linda, David and Ellen for years and we all enjoy each others company - what more of an excuse did we need to work together to bring our art together!?  
NONE! ;-)  I hope you join us!  I am looking forward to spending quality time with my friends surrounded by art, music and love. 
Each one of us has a gift to offer, a talent to share and we hope by having a relaxed art show people will enjoy themselves and leave feeling inspired. Make it down! 
We will have  munchies, tea, coffee and ART! All forms of art! 


** I personally will not have any Cannabis related art at this show, other than my comic book (I apologize) as you are aware the Treating Yourself  EXPO is in May, and I must save cannabis influenced art for that show. Thank you.

I'm so EGGsited!!! CONTEST!!!

I woke up today determined to do something postive. Then I thought while painting my eggs... I wonder if I can inspire creativity!? I hope so, so here goes:
                  Paint an EGG! 
No cheating! YOU must paint your own egg.
I don't care if you are an artist or not, just get creative!
Paint a pattern or scene, face - have fun!
I was going to specify Nature - but thought NO, why limit the imagination? Paint on your egg what ever you want.  Decorate and egg with paint, pencil, markers, crayons,  
I will ask that a photo is taken of the winner with their egg!  For entering the contest you will have a chance to win one of my painted eggs, cannabis friendly or not,  I will have several! I enjoyed sitting and having fun with such an interesting and challenging canvas! 
Such a lesson in patience. Although, I am sure there are tricks to holding the eggs while painting, I have not quite figured out yet. Perhaps on a stick. Hmmmmmmmm...

Send me the photo as soon as you are finished e mail it to me here: georgiatoons@rogers.com  or you can message it to me on FB GeorgiaToons. 
What ever is easiest. I figure a week is long enough. 
Contest Closes: Good Friday. March 29th at 12:00 midnight 
Winner chosen Monday (Easter Monday) April 1st. at 3:00p.m.

Your prize will include. A comic book, signed
A complete set of CC postcards. 
An original hand painted EGG! (One of a kind)
A hand drawn Easter card ;-)
Mailed or delivered at the EXPO. ;-) 
Contest has no age limit as neither does the imagination!!!  

Have fun! My eggs below. I actually painted several the same! 
LOL - and one for Storm but I can't show it, he will have to hunt that sucker down ;-)
Like my photo shoot? No chicks were harmed during the photo shoot. The eggs on the other hand I shall consider a tribute to the lives lost.

My craft!
Craft night! 
I don't get out much - lol
So instead I decided to invite over 2 friends to visit, chat and craft! 
All three of us paint. 
Linda is an amazing painter as well as makes beautiful jewelry, which I offer at the EXPO (LOVE her pants!) Ellen is also an incredible painter & works with kids!  
But each of us is so different I love it! Every time we are together - someone will say something  inspiring! Tonight the crafts were MINDLESS - well for us three anyhow. The idea is NOT to stress but to  just go with the flow, relax, have fun and as you can see we did, each completely different! We did not have to sketch or plan we just did.  We sat and chatted and painted, laughed, listened to music, talked about our kids and husbands. Our art and passion. Neither of these two smoke Cannabis - medically or recreationally - neither have the desire - nor are they big drinkers! They both understand where I am coming from, understand Cannabis is our medicine and have no problems with it.  As Ellen said (hee hee hee)- come on - we are all artists who grew up in the 70's!  Nuff said. 
We came together to create! I have known both these ladies for a few years but it is only recently that I have come to enjoy their company as friends, I promised myself to only surround myself with people who have good hearts ;-) are creative and want to make this place a better place ;-)   It is nice to socialize - no alcohol needed - I did have to medicate when my twitch started to become painful but just continued on after like nothing - cause thats what it is NOTHING! 
You take advil, I smoke cannabis. You prefer to go chemical - I prefer to go natural.  

I really like these two, tonight we have decided instead of a book club we shall have a craft club! Every two weeks. I am already looking forward to the next! 
We are also planning an art show. The details in the new year! I will tell you one thing EVERY time we are together we inspire each other to be better artists - if not better people.  Imagine what were coming up with for our show!!! ❤ 

  In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Here fishy fishy....

7/8/2012

1 Comment

 
I had a few of friends ask me recently "are you painting a fish?"  I had no idea what they were talking about - they just assumed I would have been contacted. I am thrilled they told me I have always wanted to do this - like the MOOSE all over Toronto - I wish I had a Moose, or Tulips all over the Danforth ( I think) and now painted piano's across Toronto! I painted my fish! it is for Splashfest in Jackson's point http://www.splashfestival.ca/home.php
( Georgina) just 20 mins from where I live.  To me the first thing I thought of was KIDS!  Water and FUN!  I know what kids like ;-) Boogers and unexpected things ;-) My kitty I believe will be unexpected!  There is alsoe a lesson I am trying to get across and I guess it is DREAM BIG! GO BIG! And the little guy DOES win!  
Against odds the little guy can lead and win!  The typical "fatcat" in the belly of the fish along with his predecessor. The mouse is the 99% .
Below are a few details of my fish. You can not see it is covered in glitter as well bringing that fishy shimmer I know all too well from my fishing experience lately. Well Storm's experience - my watching. 
You can see all the fish - below two other fish as well by artist friends. 
You can see all the fish at the Splash fest! It looks to be great fun for the entire family - I will go out to the day- as they have great sidewalk sales, galleries, music and more  Jackson's point/Sutton are beautiful little towns. Prizes will be awarded for the best fish but I already have mine - so far everyone that sees it smiles and giggles. That is reward enough - I know the kids will love it too!!! AND I had too much fun painting it - thanks to Norman for the details of the hinges and chain making my fish ready for view.

Out of one skull and on to another.

23/2/2012

0 Comments

 
I have this cow skull - very special to me really,  many moons ago I wanted to have a 'Santa Fe' bedroom  and the ultimate detail would be a cow skull. We started to see if we could buy one and they were expensive! Norm said it was not in the budget ;-( Bummer..  He was telling a woman at work about our search and how expensive they were - my wifes driving me crazy... blah blah blah.. a few days later this woman brought in a cow skull to Norman!!
* NOTE  her husband was a butcher and it was still in tact.  Need I say more?   My neighbor - a police officer at the time was curious when I asked if she knew how to get skin off of bones. Leave it to Norm he figured it out and it was much work, boiled for days on the drive way in a huge rented pot then dried in a furnace at his work - LOL - he thought this was a good idea until people started to complain about a funky smell throughout the building! 
But when done we had a real cowskull. It' looked terrific and hung in the bedroom for years * The room turned out so well it was featured on a television show called City Line.  I thought of it the other day, Norm said it was out in the shed covered in dust and spiderwebs and asked him if he could sand, clean and put in my studio and here it is.
Painting is (even more than cartooning) something I do to bring me peace.  I decided this is what I was doing - the house work can wait.
While painting this wonderful skull I gave much thought to the cow that provided it, especially when painting around the bullet hole in the poppy. I use to eat  red meat 
not such a big fan anymore. I'm not sure if I stopped because of education or my body just telling me, but I really don't care for it as much.  I can not help but think when I see the teeth and the cavity where the brain was that this was in fact a living being  a while ago. I believe that from now on when I do eat meat I want to acknowledge that this creature did give its life for us. 
It once had a heart beat.  All provided by God. 
Now messed with by man ;-(  =  FOOD inc. 
But this skull is not about that for me it is  about painting life back into it starting at the base with a tiny seed. A Cannabis seed of course. I started to think about it a couple of days about but started painting it this a.m. at 6:30. Completed it at about 9:30p.m 
It amazes me how much I think about when painting and other times I simply find myself humming to the song and enjoying every single brush stroke. 
 All in a Days work. I have the best boss! xox <><
***Details The skull has hidden symbols words, bumble bees, a ladybug, butterflies and a real cannabis seed at the base where the roots appear ;-)

Some of the best days are the ones NOT planned...

As Storm was heading out today I asked him where he was going and he said Benny's and asked me If I wanted to join him for the drive as it was a nice day. I was having a bit of cartoonist block ;-) and decided it was a good idea. I had yet to see Benny's store, I've known him for a couple of years now and have not had the chance. The only time I see Benny is at the EXPO or an event but we have e mailed back and fourth and he has carried some of my originals &  comics in his store the past year  so we have built up a bit of a friendship. 
 I like Benny!  He always has a smile and a kind word and usually makes me laugh several times. 
The store was impressive - as I expected it might be, knowing a bit about Benny.  It amazes me to see some of these BONGS - calling them that is in fact an insult. THEY are works of ART!  The detail that has gone into them, the work - I can only imagine the hours spent on some of the pieces.  There were a few out of my budget- LOL - BUT If I had the money they would surly be an investment I'd like to make. I'd never use them!  They are to me like Royal Daulton to my mother.   I LOVE the ZOMBIE heads! I have had several people friend me on FB who are glass blowers/glass artists!  I will admit I easily get distracted looking at the photos they post - I am amazed that they can do with glass that which I can't always do with a pencil!!   I am looking forward to this years  TY EXPO for the glass blowing!  
 Benny and Andrew and Robin were all incredibly helpful and answered my MANY questions from what's this? and what's that? What is this used for? Questions  about painful penis tattoos and more -LOL.  Andrew also took the time to explain what every bong I asked about was for. It truly is a learning experience, ONE if you are serious about your Cannibis you should know the different options and the best way to mediate.  I had fun.   I look forward to my next visit. I also have decided to see if I can draw a fish to add to Andrews very cool collection! ;-).
Benny's store HITZ IMPORTS  and location >>>   http://www.hitzimports.com/
I did pick up this incredibly little BLUE monkey bubbler. (Below) SUCH work in this little guy. Makes me smile.  Oh ladies, Benny asked to carry some of my hand painted bags - coming soon to Hitz Imports.   
We had such a good day we decided while the weather still co-operates we are going to a couple of more places I have really wanted to go to. Next Wednesday we are going to check out Vape On the Lake.

Monday and I am a domestic diva.

In other words it is time to clean my house. I do it one day a week.. Laundry, floors it all. I like to have it done and out of the way. I woke this a.m. with a cartoon on my mind so I will squeeze that in between loads of laundry. I LOVE hanging my laundry outside I have not used the drier once all summer since May! It gives me a chance to look outside , hear the birds watch the dogs and witness countless mini miracles!  I have been given a nice distraction ... I've been asked to draw for a catnip company ;-) LOL - a natural herb that makes cats feel good.  I just can't seem to get away from it can I ?? 
Updated Eve... Even EVE will have to wait until the floors are washed. Tomorrow - I PAINT ;-)  I did have a terrific time yesterday with my friend as we helped with the church tea! It was amazing. Next year I'm not going to be a helper but a planner- with my own table - tea for 8! Guess what I found on my treasure hunting!?  A laughing buddha for my painting room. I wonder why they all have the slits in the mouth?  
Mop is waiting.. Today, I am thankful I have a home to clean.
