THE GLOBAL GAG RULE

11/3/2017

The GLOBAL GAG RULE... people are actually dying because of this, the POOR, struggling, women, sick, & FACT: MORE UNWANTED CHILDREN WILL BE BORN TO STARVE.
Donald Trump & his groupies are a bunch of compassionate less, women degrading, racist. (sorry Chuck) Every time I read about this man - I shake my head and feel sorry for my American friends... women especially.

-With this GlobalGAGRULE he has tied the hands of women all around the world from being in control of their own bodies, no longer able to access information and help.
-With this GlobalGAGRULE TRUMP gags women all around the world from asking of help- GAGS Dr.s and aid from speaking about abortion- forcing women once again to choose unsafe alternatives.

Do you understand what the Global Gag Rule is?
Please Educate yourself on - Google: Global GAG RULE.
If you think it does not effect us ALL, you are mistaken. IT HURTS ALL WOMEN.
We all live on the planet together.

EVEN IF you are against abortion (not your body - none of your business)
- tThe Global GAG RULE has an impact of much more - PLEASE READ to understand and then SPEAK UP!!! ANYWAY you can think of to educate about this GLOBAL problem which will have epic consequences.

Georgia... on my own.

What a Day!!

I stayed up till 3a.m. painting then remembered I had a meeting this morning to discuss a new product I'm working on with someone.. I heard a strange noise on my radio - an amber alert for a little girl, from what I gather someone stole a car and the child was in the back seat- a 4 year old little girl- how terrifying, my heart sank. The WONDERFUL news was she was discovered unharmed!!! Really, the best news of the day.

Next, I had a meeting- I've signed a confidentiality disclosure, this product will change the world for the better for pets. Tis true!!! Enough said - and I had some CRAZY CREATIVE FUN!! YEEE!!! My enthusiasm also evident in my work. I predict you will see it on a shelf in every quality pet store sooner than we realize! :)

After my meeting I read my mail to find out Mark & Jodie Emery have been arrested at the airport on the way to Spannabis - several charges. I don’t have FB! (I actually logged on for a second but thought - do I need this and got OFF) I know only what I read on the CBC & comments:http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/marc-and-jodie-emery-court-1.4019001
I blogged about this months back, who did not see this coming? Clearly Mark & Jodie on the way to Spain. *stuck here in Canada in a blizzard with the rest of us. Mark ore or less openly said ‘Look at me! - I’m selling cannabis- even though I KNOW it’s not ‘legal’ yet. Come get me’… and they did.

For this he has even received ‘criticism from some in the community who have & and are trying to play by the rules. I don’t know how else to put it. I hope it’s not true, Mark could be deported back to the U.S., I din’t think they could do it the first time. As for Jodie, I pray she does not have to go to jail! I don’t think she would do well in jail. I really cannot see her going to jail. Either of them with legalization around the corner. Literally. What were they thinking, do they need this kind of stress - that being said..

Do I need the stress?
I cannot remember the last time Norm and I got ‘along.
All we do and have done for years is argue. The toll it is physically taking on my body now is enough, every argument’ I see patches of psoriasis appear, little red dots at first they easily get out of control. Every argument also triggers my ‘twitch’ and raises it on a scale of 1 to 10 to a 17… yet, they continue to happen.

I am searching currently online but can’t find anything.. so far ‘Moncton looks affordable’, lol - (not kidding), which is fine as I have no ties here, love the water and would LOVE to live near a beach or at least get to one every now and then. I LOVE SEA glass and cactus (yes, I realize I’m stretching on the cactus - I just do). For me and my girls and son should he choose to visit, he too has been thinking of leaving the nest. :) As soon as I find a new home to call my own, I start a new chapter. Amen.

That being said my mind is thinking WTF? Between the USA last week and now this, Mark & Jodie must appear in court ‘April-21’ (missed it by a day… 4/20).-. Perhaps a judge will ‘toss it’… or not. Trying to come up with a cartoon. Had they waited they would have still cornered the market. They will get attention, The added stress won't be good. I’m sure they discussed the possibilities of being arrested, they will have top lawyers no doubts.
I know the community will rally for them on 4/21.

My son is at Spannabis, he was invited to go with friends, last minute. He tells me ‘it’s hot and he’s happy to be enjoying ‘Sangria & Tapas! I am thrilled for him. I told him - HAVE FUN, he’ll be back and in this weather before he knows it.
Candice is there as well! Best TIPS ;) :http://www.quintessentialtips.com
Had I known, I would have been there! NEXT year for Sho!
Rob said he’d show too, perhaps I’ll finally get to see that cannabus.

Time to paint!
I love night painting. hee hee - I love all painting.
I might have to checkout FB for toon inspiration.. we'll see.

Georgia On MY Mind.

19/2/2017

On my Mind..

Justin Trudeau.. should've challenged Trump to a boxing match for fun. hmmm.
I'll leave it to you to decide who you think would win. Mr.Trudeau was criticized on the weekend for appealing to the rich regarding the 'angry middle class.. at a gala attended by the rich. Irony it was said. Stop and think for one second here.
HOW many galas thrown by the rich, attended BY the rich, NEVER bring up the plights of the angry middle class let alone any other issue other than the $250 caviar appetizers.
Political Media Drama :( We see how it divides America.
Why not show some support instead of continuing to divide.

I was speaking to a friend recently who went the extra mile.. he had his garden upscaled and then called the mayor of his town, he did all this for insurance reasons* -apparently they came, including the fire dept- he had to make a few changes (small things- still costly$$$) etc. It passes inspection with flying colors! Raves from all around he tells me only to find Health Canada of course did not approve him the first time in 11 years. & tells him to shut it down. With a suggestion of 3 places (only 3?) he could get his meds now. Guess who the 3 were.
He tells me the media won't touch it. Hmmm food for thought, for all considering doing the RIGHT thing. Irony.

I know people now who have their medications COVERED by the company insurance!
Do not be told otherwise. If they cover medication - THEY COVER ALL Medication legally bought and paid for. Look into it if you think you might apply.

I'm painting bears with a special healing kiss... with a bit of kiss education.
Something you can even try with your dogs!
Sounds Kinky Eh!! lol come back soon to see.

Ethics & Art

15/2/2017

Georgia ... On my Mind. Thief.
Every now and then I see 'my art' on someone else's social media page with no credit to me. Taking compliments for my work- instead of redirecting people- "Check out Georgiatoons @ whatever..." I have even seen people go so far as remove my name and enter in their own.
I very recently, saw one of my ideas almost re-drawn detail for detail with a few minor changes, the 'artist' took no credit (I guess not)- but 'the company' did for it's 'originality'.
At first I was in shock... slowly I felt a 'smile materialize across my face- like the Grinch, a pathetic attempt to steal my idea - without the talent - please.
I am owning it. I DID create it.
Did it get more 'likes' than mine? Yes. lol - more people. That's how it works.
It won't make me give up.
All it does is show me who is paying attention & trying to make attempts at being - ME.
Am I wrong? I am the only 'Georgia Toons.

Talent. Yes. I work hard. I paint EVERY day, all day- It is a skill like any other.
Go ahead, try. You can't steal my creativity or talent.

It is stealing and it means:
YOU LACK imagination & morals.

simply, you are a thief like every other petty thief, taking what does not belong to you.
***Print my artwork and sell my card ideas without my permission - Thief.
Re draw my idea with a few tweaks": Thief.
Re-use my work and take credit: Thief and someone will let me know sooner or later.
Take any work off this website without my permission to use.. thief.

It has me wondering about instagram - again to share or not to share.
My goal is to educate, hopefully make people smile & think.
It won't happen if I do not share.

I am in the process of working on a couple projects, out in time for next year. I finally feel- 'strong enough to focus on a few of these projects. Guaranteed to make every cannabis enthusiast smile. Never before seen ART. I paint all day - every day, you don't see 1/2. I'm getting better every day, ideas and painting- while thieves surf on line and seal others ideas. That is how it will always be.

I feel 'wonderful, elated, powerful & passionate when creating.
A Thief will never feel the same stealing.

Here is another blog by an artist ..
Please read this blog to better understand:

Back to painting..

Dab Or Dab not.

5/2/2017

Dab or Dab not. There is no try. lol
I love Yoda! I also am a fan of cannabis. Try it all, in all ways do.
Edibles, smoked, drinkable, baked, candies, rolled, hash, oil.
Cannabis comes in many forms and I don't see this changing anytime soon.
Actually, my son who explains everything to me, my "Yoda" explained Dabbing’ as he does whenever I ask - or I'm on google for hours. This way I'm at least pointed in the right correct direction. I've had people offer dabs for a while and I tried off and on.

Better knows as cannabis OIL ... concentrate. There are several ways it seems to obtain it, in slightly varying forms. It also goes by the names of shatter, resin, dabs, oil, BHO, Honey Oil, CO2 Oil… etc. I find it astonishing. I have experienced some very clean dabs and the high" was - refreshing.

I like dabs & I like Yoda - *he was not created by Jim Henson, like I thought.. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Stuart_Freeborn - many make this mistake. Go have a peek- he looks like his creator. Yes, this qualifies as a love post, I have a couple Yodas in in my office. As you can see. I love this little green wise guy.

Do or Do Not. There is No try. ~Yoda.

Dab or Dab Not... There is no try. lol
High, stoned- again there are those words - I try to avoid, simply still because of he negative stigma they hold & not words I associate with Cannabis oil... relaxed, clear headed, creative, energized, refreshed, peaceful & positive.

I’ve had restful sleeps the last few evenings - awake at 5 ready to paint!
A smile on my face - I’m up before everyone including Bird.

Do what you love.
Do or Do not. There is no try.

Let's fall in love.

2/2/2017

Let's fall in love.

Let's fall in love!! No, NOT with a person but with what you do!
Love what you do! & the rest will follow.
Make yourself happy and it will shine out of every pore & more. lol

This month along with sharing LOVE & cannabis in every drawing I'm going to share some of the people in my life who I care for, am inspired by, love, like and including those who put love into the world for others. Either for whom they 'are' or what they do, making a difference for millions or one. Who cares... Making a difference is all that matters.

Today, I share another cartoonist friend (with many talents) Ivan Art, he make a difference every day! Ivan & his wife Simone - a creative couple inspiring others around them in Switzerland as well as reaching the masses through their art. Awesome.
Love is grand.

It's float time for Ivan! Ora, io non parlo italiano, mi dispiace sto solo scherzando ora utilizzando Google Translate, obiettivo-ha un ascolto o guardare e si vedrà Ivan 1/2 attraverso il video! Educare Migliaia lungo il sentiero percorso parata & cannabis!

Speaking of Do what you love... I have a NEW EASEL - I did what I loved!
Today I'lll be putting it to good use. Woot Woot!! Time for some acrylic paint.

The foxes are my imagined couples just meeting perhaps for the first time..
in the field of love.

Tomorrow: LOVE in the form of 'flowers'

I Am excited to paint! Tomorrow
Now it's off to read & relax.

BTW I am listening to a new artist: http://jonathanroyofficial.com
**warning STEAMY video. All I noticed was the Mickey Mouse tattoo - *wink, wink.
Jonathan was born Canadian & is in Montreal. Hubba Hubba.
Good Things coming my way...
I loved the song on iTunes but had no idea 'who' he was & decided to 'google' to share
with you.. (blush) I just watched the song for the first time,
which starts on the website automatically. Kowabunga.
He is worth the drive to Montreal, IMO. lol Really.
Fun fact, his dad is Patrick Roy.
What Canadian does not know Patrick Roy? Well, what one my age range?
Have a listen or a watch. About that tattoo.. he must be a 'classic Mickey fan.
Perfect way to end a long day.

Norway officially switches to DABS!

11/1/2017

Taking a break from my desk I visited Storm in his apt. & I asked Storm: "did you hear Norway is shutting off FM radio, don't you think that's strange?
Yes, he did think it strange - enough to peek his curiosity as I sat there… the first thing he read off the computer was “Norway is the first country to officially switch to DABs” We both burst out laughing.
It’s as if I can’t get a break, how easy was that?
Of course the joke will only be understood by those in the cannabis community.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2015/04/20/norway-fm-radio/#4190e57e2735
It is interesting. Norway is ahead of the game I believe in many ways. Housing prices are insane. BTW if you want to see a bit of Norway watch ‘Troll Hunter’ on Netflix (sub titles).
It was beautiful scenery. Storm wants to go Camping there.

On my Mind..
It is heart breaking to see all the photos of Franco on Instagram, I know I blogged about him long ago- I was impressed at what a hard worker he was, helping his team set up the displays. Talked to thousands of FANS always with a smile. I think he was only 47, he is already terribly missed. Reading his partner & best friends post brought me to tears. It really has ‘me feeling a bit morose & I’m trying hard to move away from it. #FUCKMalaria
Up earlier and painting more, which does not say much for the bags under my eyes.. I need some R&R & sunshine.
I did produce this grumpy looking kitty to go along with my mood yesterday morning.
Snow Storms are not on my ‘gratitude list’ this year.

Now, it’s time to focus on the moon & stars.

Cannabis Swimming Superstar!

10/1/2017

Michael Phelps

You want to talk cannabis Superstar - it's no other than Micael Phelps.
Swimming rockstar! What a set of lungs he must have!!
Remember all the flack Michael Phelps received about his infamous ‘Bong smoking photo’. What do you say about it now?
He is a swimming superstar and gold medal winner.
The most Gold medals a single human has ever won.
I wonder how he would do if he was ‘hitting the bottle’ instead of the bong.
It’s not my business how he relaxes, what he does in his own time, anytime - it’s not our business. I think he’s set a better than superb athlete example for young ones to be inspired. Anyone to be inspired - clearly, I am inspired when I painted his tribute bud.
‘Bud Splash Phelps’
Judge people on what they do, not for smoking cannabis,
the sneaky person who took the photo and posted/shared it without his consent,
judge them before you judge someone for having puff.

Personally, looking back I'm glad they took the photo... look who's laughing now.
Well done Michael.

There is a Michael Phelps Foundation - I’m not shocked.
Making a difference in a POSITIVE way.
Athlete Superstar!
Swimmer Michael Phelps.
