One more sleep & cannabis will be legal to smoke recreationally in Canada... I can hardly believe it myself.  I'm almost in a trance - I have 3  projects on my desk- all in celebration!
The last 'combination of leaves' I LOVED - so much I re-painted it yesterday. It is the perfect symbol  of my two loves Cannabis & Canada & it 'Pops off the paper' with it's bright colors & shows how I FEEL! Excited! It's the perfect logo imo ;)  I'm thinking it would make a cool T'  !!

I'll admit I'm thinking about my American friends and how they will feel tomorrow- I imagine .. not that pleased.  Americans who consume cannabis and are in business KNOW that Canada definitely has gotten the upper hand when it comes to cannabis & legalization. 
Tomorrow Cannabis will be bought & enjoyed starting in Newfoundland ending in B.C.    We have 6 times zones in Canada- hee hee - is that 6  times we celebrate 4:20? - I bet he Newfies do (I love Newfies).  America has changed their mind about letting Business people in the industry 'cross borders' - after saying only weeks ago - it was going to be a 'No No.    & soon they will change their mind about legalization - I hope... a little tricky for them as they have PUT so many behind bars for cannabis... & it is absolutely used to keep the minorities down and locked up.  

Canada is leading by example - in all ways.  We are not going to go crazy, we are not going to turn into lazy pot heads, we will not have an insane amount of car accidents.. our kids won't all turn into 'Psycho's'   -instead they will have the knowledge & choice toby safe, reliable medicine and experiencing cannabis in a educated & enjoyable way will become the new norm - we will celebrate freedom of choice first. 

Shift happens- I feel this is a monumental shift for Canadians and the world!  
For more peaceful times..  more understanding - less judgement.   Amen

How are you celebrating tomorrow? Me not so much, my studio won't be ready, I will still smoke a few joints and smile- but technically - I've been legal for years - so I'm happy for everyone else, NOW.   I'm still painting of course, my friend CrustyRusty wants to smoke a Peace pipe - under the Peace bridge! I think it's a great idea! If not so far, I'd consider joining him... instead I'll be at home, peacefully painting while I smoke my bong, joints and eat medicated carrot cake!  Nom Nom.  One MORE sleep.

Can you tell me how to get.. how to get to Sesame St?
I want to live there... still.
Big Bird was my favourite after much consideration- I thought it was Kermit.. but perhaps it explains my love of Birds' to this day.. I think I'll call Bird "BigBird" he is getting heavier with his daily HEMP consumption.
Bert & Ernie out of the closet  and into the cosmos!   Where they belong.
​Are there two better teachers 'NOW/then' on screen to teach about a loving couple in a relationship, no - IMO they are the best.  Children only see two friends who care very much for each  other & live together.  Bert & Ernie are LOVE - simply that.
  
                Are they gay?   "WHO cares..."  should be the response.  

Who cares?
They are happy & they love each other.  They live together & make it work. WHO cares if they are gay?  I use to think they should be left alone- but now.. I don't care.  That is my opinion about ALL relationships NOW- I don't care as long as the person is happy/content.  Do YOU love /care for whom you live with?  Do they return your affection?  Enjoy.   

As long as there are two consenting ADULTS in a relationship - it is none of my business. 
If it helps a child to understand that two men can live together happily with love in their life - so be it!  I have no problems with them being gay if so... they were inspired by a gay man & his partner & he did a lovely job all these years.  Love is Love.

I am beyond thrilled to say my cartoon of only two days ago -NO LONGER applies!!
Fuck YES!  People can consume cannabis where ever cigarettes can be smoked without a fine - Our government has recognized this would be  unjust and only cause problems - no doubt!  Amen. Now, please don't be a dick:  Do NOT smoke around school yards or places it would bother most- common sense and respect for each other will make this an easier transition ;)  I'm getting so excited... hee hee 

Book Review- 'All the ever afters.'. about Cinderellas step mom- just finished it this morning at 4...  it was an enjoyable read especially the last part- it made me think:  it is the case with many - how what 'we hear -' we think we understand the full situation - and we often do not. WE rarely KNOW how others live behind closed doors.. that too is not my business as long as no one is being hurt- then it is all our business, especially concerning children.  
I recommend  this read.

Are you fine with the upcoming expected fine for cannabis?
My pal Crusty Rusty called me -"$1000.00 !! One Thousand Bucks if your caught puffing not he sidewalk! This is legalization?!" 
The penalty for using cannabis in public is up to $1000 for a first offense and up to $5000 for subsequent offenses.    
What a joke this is.. & I can assure you - I will be smoking in public on occassion- when I feel the need.  There is nothing like a good, strong bong hit or joint to slow down my twitch giving me a bit of a break & time when I NEED that break before I break.  Edibles help the body but don't have the effect I need when smoking/vaping *before I GO any further- I myself DO NOT like to encourage SMOKING with children - I don't draw it in the mouths of certain characters & do not like the fact that Vape pens are being glamorized' because I feel it will encourage more children to try & get addicted to  cigarettes (the kind PROVEN to give you cancer) PLEASE... Don't be a dick - Don't smoke in front of kids (cannabis included) if it can be helped & I've never nor will I ever smoke on a 'school property'.

​BUT- back to these fines- COME on! DO they think Canadians have a sticker that states 'sucker' across our forehead?  This will end up in court- why...  BECAUSE OF THIS:

When I was younger a boyfriend & I were strolling around the block at 10 p.m. he had an open beer - I didn't have anything  - a cop pulled up and gave him a Ticket for just over $50.. the cop was a dick. I lived 8 doors away - it was hot, the stars were out - obvious we were a couple just enjoying the evening (what ever- perhaps he was jealous). BUT the current fine for driving with an open beer/liquor in a car is  ONLY $175.00
What the FUCK? !   Cheers.    This almost encourages drinking & driving!! 

What is wrong with those in power - this is NOT rocket science.
This is NOT right. FIGHT it if you get a ticket for smoking a joint in Public.  
​I won't even bother to compare the numbers of deaths related to each substance in the cartoon - there is another reason Cannabis PROVEN less harmful out of ALL three- YET- the fine $1000. for a 'first time offence?! 
Which leads me to address - I'm pretty sure I STILL see people DAILY out & about smoking a cigarette including on school property. How much are people fined for the PROVEN cancer causing 'coffin sticks' costing out government already due to health reasons? LOTS.
Don't believe me? RESEARCH - Prove me wrong...  

My new book arrived BYW  (below) only  a few pages in & :  
I fucking LOVE it!  
Amen!  lol   Book review soon.  

The coffins have been picked up and I'll show you where you can go 'RIDE' one!!  
IF YOU DARE!!      lol - More SOON!

                                               >>>Spill any paint lately?<<<   

'Tokem was my #2,  TiniWeenieTiki and he is all about cannabis & enjoyment!
Tokem was  inspired by my son Storm.. I thought I'd have a little fun and play with my TiniWeenieTiki and celebrate the coming of legalization in just 7o  days! Tokem is all about the green! It starts with 7 green feathers on top of his head & check out that smile!
Cannabis makes Tokem feel GOOD! Toke has a joint  which he joyfully puffs all day long.

Tokem is taller than the Shaman - it was quite the physical stretch (not mental) to paint this TWT, laughing all the while as these faces smile back at me. I can't wait!! Cannabis will be legal in 70 days! Are you ready Canada!? I AM!  

I'm proud of the fact I am a cannabis consumer - even  prouder my son is a cannabis grower- he inspired this tall, happy TiniWeenieTiki.   You can see Tokem  in a video on my IG page. Or you can see him this up coming weekend at thePainted Perch - he will be for sale with several of his tiki family!  Wait until you see the TiniWeenieTiki hut built to welcome visitors to the TWTiki booth!

Today it's all about adding details to 'Hook-em-Eh!'  - Games- there will be a demo for you to try before you buy. I wish you could see Tokem in person - his vibrant green pops and he almost seems to Glow at times - is it the paint or cannabis?  Who cares as long as you feel this good.
​
Back to painting! Such a busy week - so much to celebrate with every new TWT created.. I mentioned to Norm "I'm at #18 and I can hardly contain my excitement to paint the next idea in my head"... - I just painted 'His Royal Highness' - today it's a king and queen.  
Hee Hee - Lucky Me!

Back to it- Do what you love- Have a CREATIVE day!

 Today I painted a Halloween tiki! Yesterday a garden tiki.. the day before a pink passionate love filled tiki!  I can't get enough..  I put a piece of wood down, turn up the music, get my girls settled, spark a joint and let my imagination & pencil run wild! YeeeeeHeeeee!  I love painting these Tiki!!  I laugh at myself - I was determined to paint a canvas a day- who knew it was tiki Time? They are more fun that canvas imo, I currently have 3 hanging in my bedroom! I wake up, look over & smile - WAKE up to another CREATIVE day!!  Happy to be Alive - Blessed that I get to stay home with my dogs, paint ART that makes me and others SMILE & laugh,  I don't know what else I could want - well, perhaps the same thing  on a few acres in up North in my own studio..  How will I pack the bluejay?  ;) 

Norm's got the 'Tiki  fever' - like it or not- lol - I think he likes it- he laughs  every time he see's a finished tiki - loved the 'first custom' - he remarked I really "caught the look & feel" of the male tiki in it. I'm glad because after he works all day - he comes home to cut out Tiki! lol & he is building a Tiki Hut display booth!  Why not?  It reminds me of TY booth days gone by...  currently on #17 tiki -but that includes my other 'Tiny Tiki - "Hook-Em-Eh!"  they are called.. what a hit! IF you show up the TWTIKI booth you can 'try  before you buy.'
 We played on the weekend with Storm and had several giggles - I KNOW they will go.
I'll be loading the video on Instagram any day of  my first  Purple passion "Hook-Em-Eh!"   DEMO- hee hee .  These TWTiki are NOT work.. they started with a funny idea, I am truly enjoying creating, thinking, giggling and excited to CREATE each one..   pure pleasure.
That & I realize I'm not thinking about any bullshit or *anyone. 
I'm doing what I am meant to be doing.

The official name is :   TINI Weenie Tiki '  
;D Can you guess why?

I decided to have fun & a giggle with my first Tiki- called "the Shaman" I can not get the Shaman out of my mind for some reason- he's about to do BIG things...  history changing.   You 'meet' him here NOW!  I wasn't sure what to paint 'when at that area' - should I paint 'a leaf' to make it 'kid friendly' -  and I realized - NO- that is part of the problem. Men have penises- fact- we must talk about them and teach kids what is acceptable & not acceptable as soon as possible to avoid any problems in life.  Help eliminate #metoo for our young children before they can say... #metoo.   What better way yo educate than with FUN- and creating an opportunity for conversation - kids will think it's just 'simply funny '- because they are.

Sure enough  when I finally showed Storm after painting the 6th, my own son  said: "Do they have to have a penis??"  LOL!  (eye roll) so - you can thank him for the added detail of the TiniWeenieTiki Skirts - more fun! hee hee hee  - if you don't want anyone to see the 'tiniweenie - don't tell them! Leave the skirt on- I'm not showing any TiniWeenies here!  Hee hee hee - if you want to see you have to come see them in person. ;)

They will be seen on my 'Tree Videos' - how I'll be introducing them on IG. 
'I'll paint a tini weenie penis on this tiki  & ALL of them - to remind us we are all human and not to let our TINI Weenie rule our  big heads. Male & female.  The next thing I knew a complete tiki sat in front of  me - from wood to Tiki - it took Norm minutes to cut it for me & he also paints the backs black & applies hardware & clear coats them to protect them should they be hung outside- but i don't reccomend it- they will get ruined in time - unless you hang them in a sheltered area- like in a covered tiki bar.   These Tiki are good to go - 
Hang in your front entrance hall to welcome your guests or in your bedroom to wake each day with a smile - I know.

The tiki who need one also come with a Tini Weenie Tiki  Skirt - detailed with fun mementos (Provided by the clients for custom) I wire on to each one- SO- only the owner knows whats under that little grass skirt!  Is it a big weenie or a TINI Weenie- No matter - you seen one you seen them all! It's just a Tini Weenie...  no matter, everyone who looks at them smile- and then you cans see as their faces follow it down from top to bottom - a giggle escapes at the awareness of the tiniweenie. It's all about fun.
 
AS I create  I sing, pray  & play with the girls &  I 'bless'  (Ginger took her first dip) every Tiki & as I tie on the tiki skirt - The LAST detail in one of many - I touch that Tini Weenie  & tell EACH Tiki:

Behave!
Be Good!
Have fun!
Maker others Laugh!
Teach Only Love for that is what you are little tiniweenietiki.. created out of love.

#2 - I named "Tokem Tiki" to celebrate legalization!!

I went to bed last night grumpy to say the least..   but I woke up to my girls snuggled in (look at the baby) *Ginger (like the spice) I think is her name! She made me laugh before I was even awake.   Amen.  & in my fit of anger yesterday productiveness arose - I CLEANED & rearranged my bedroom with Norms assistance... it's a good thing- to get busy when angry- occupy your mind.  It's always good to occupy your mind with creativity - it's why I do it.  ;)

Still upset about the bluejays..  I was mad at myself for the 'Drunks'  remark too.  
It is what it is.  I know all too well how alcohol destroys families and lives - literally.
I have witnessed it first hand on too many occasions my entire life.. so it's 'Why' I do try to tolerate stuff,  I understand 'they were drunk' and probably have regrets themselves the next day - so' we let it go' - well,  I do unless YOU are directly in my life - I have no tolerance for getting drunk, or being around those who do any longer,  sorry.   
​
I realized I have 'PTSD' regarding alcohol.   It was a lightbulb moment  - many do.
I just have to 'hear' a drunk and I get a terrible feeling my guy, I don't care if they are happy drunks - I've known to many who have "switched" from happy to  raging with the sip of a cocktail.  I abhor alcohol - so much so 'others' make me not want to even have one drink.  Ask any  adult  'NOW' of an abusive alcoholic parent - if they know  the "slur".   I can hear a drunks slur a mile away and avoid them like the plague.  You know that slur- because it was a warning sign to run & hide- shit is about to get real.  So - add bird shooting to the mix and it got bad.  Then I remember the little boy who use to make me laugh - running around the backyard famous for not wearing any swimsuit & his mom yelling at him! Cracked me up every time.  What happened to that kid?   I know alcohol played a big part in that families suffering & still does - like it does in far too many families.  You get to know your closest neighbours when you live beside them for over 25 years - like it or not sometimes. I still like ALL  my neighbours - because I KNOW we all struggle.

I will NOT & do not  tolerate bullshit, I think they all know this from hearing me & Norm over the years - it is what it is...   I have 8!   8 houses that back onto my back yard, you know our backyard is big and our own personal  oasis - WE HAVE WORKED hard at it & still do- last night thinking -  sleepless (I KNOW WHY) I was angry thinking all but 3 houses have small children.  ALL  all backyards I can see - the  force that that projectile - BULLET (a rose by any other name is still a rose) smacked the tree - I heard it RIP through the bark- OMG - seriously  it would terrify & harm if not kill child.  Stupider things happen all the time - next thing a person being a dick killing a bird  is going jail for  manslaughter.  

 Now,  every time I hear the bluejays  I panic - put out nuts before the shooter gets his gun.
I won't - I can't I have to go on and OUT - Paint TIKI & pray no more birds will be killed. 
My twitch was so bad yesterday - there are days I feel like going to emergency to say "KNOCK me out for a few hours,  please. " BUT I don't  - I LIVE with IT, I'm learning to say- HEY! I know why your twitch is TERRIBLE today, go easy,  go get rest,  go focus on good stuff like the puppy & Poppy.

Norm is happier & grateful now that he has had time to think and did thank me for realizing that the salesman   > @ TORONTO QUALITY MOTORS<   (btw) was ripping us OFF & had blatantly lied about several issues - BUYER BEWARE.  Norm is getting a brand new truck, & I am very happy for him, really  - he's never had a 'new' vehicle in his lifetime- & I do NOT know another guy who works as hard as he does - it's that simple.  God has provided (as does Norm & his boss - hee hee - I am very fond of Norms boss - very grateful for him in our lives)  life is good, I'm excited for him - and me & Storm.  Made me laugh - he has hooked up a new  surveillance camera for the driveway all of the sudden...  The truck across the street was broken into a few times.  I have forgiven, if I thought he would read it I would gift my neighbour the book - 'The genius of birds' - It's facinating, on my bedside table.  I was thinking... IF I had control of this situation - I would say:  You shot a bird, now you have to stay in this cell (with food) &  read (NO computer, no luxuries) this book. Once the book is done - I'll ask you questions on every chapter- when I was convinced the entire book was read - they could go free. Isn't that a GREAT idea? 

I also realized something that concerned me- I was so frightened - i called 911.  lol- I was in bed last night LOL- ..
911  -'911 - what is your emergency?"
me   -"theres been a shooting!" 
911 - "was anyone hurt?"
me - "a BLUUJAY! "

It didn't go like that- but I did call 911 because I was shaking, then  ;( I couldn't remember my right side & left side - couldn't speak properly & had to make her aware I had a brain injury- as I was aware I did.  I realized right away- iI should not have called 911 but the 'georgina police' and tried to state this  when I was just calling over a bird - BUT, she could hear it I guess in my voice & she was AWESOME, lovely, kind & calmed me down and explained - it was o.k., she could infact help me.. & it was all going to be looked after,  I had nothing to worry about.    
​She also told me it was illegal for a few reasons.

I have to say, I love Canadian police. Im looking forward to seeing super troopers 2- to see the mountie & USA thing. I love mounties!! If I eve get to meet one up close  -  I'll beg for a selfie. ;)  I know people have had some bad encounters but I have only ever had good.  I am very grateful for them and believe we SHOULD NEVER put them all in the same basket - for ever bad cop we read about there are far more good.

 Canada Day July 1st, I sat in the gazebo late & listened & watched the fireworks reflect off the pool...  Poppy was on the sofa, I was in a chair with my feet up on a stool,  in the past Tequila suffered greatly during fireworks - shaking violently, crying & cowering- we were relieved when she went deaf letter in life.. as long as she didn't see them she remained calm so I never sat out and 'enjoyed' them in a while.  Fact - the busies days for the SPCA- after fireworks- when TOO many pets go missing from being terrified.

As I listend to the 'weeeeeeeeeeeeee" and POP!!, BANG!! & "Screeeeeeeeeecccccchhhhhh' of the fireworks - I realized how it is for us- In Canada & America they are sounds associated with JOY.  Fireworks = celebration! Party, food, fun with family & friends! YeeeeeeHawwwwww.  
Suddenly one of my CLOSE neighbours let of a POP!! & Poppy flew off the sofa - under the chair at the same time  'DAISY (big baby)  & Scruffy FLEW up an onto my lap!! lol  
I then realized the girls were not enjoying it as much as I was and how frightening the sounds must be for them so we went in - Bird too was trembling in his cage, when normally he's still flying around the room.

It hit me then... these sounds we associate with Joy - Please forgive me Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Somalia... (and others) my ignorance astounds me sometimes- these noises 'we' associate with Joy- you must only associate with death.  So many innocent people live under constant destruction, bombs and screeching across the night sky.  They don't have hot dogs & burgers, no sparklers or kids in *bouncy tents.. they hardly have clean water to drink.  America is responsible for much of the destruction, drones, bombing of innocence - look at Vietnam.  

When you enjoy your fire works tonight stop & listen.
Try to imagine for only a minute istening to those familiar sounds under different circumstances. The screams not from fireworks but from mothers who lose their babies.
Would you want to stay in these countries? Wouldn't you want the chance at a better life? 
At a LIFE??
I would.

No more fireworks for me, I'm done. A waste of money and they hurt wildlife too - Birds especially - do you know  birds drop out of the sky due to shockwaves, hundreds at a time,   I WAS thrilled to READ WE are stopping - YEAH Canada!
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-banff-ditches-big-bang-canada-day-fireworks-to-protect-wildlife/   Another fine example of leading first! 

This just pissed me off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5gXkERQ8M0 
People 'laughing' as their own dogs go after fireworks- some encouraging them- how fucking careless & STUPID  - what if the dogs face gets blown off you ^%$#&* idiots.  
Don't think it can happen? It does ALL the time. 
https://www.causes.com/causes/121564-against-fireworks-in-lebanon/updates/491597-fireworks-harm-and-kill-animals  
Horses have heart attacks.. WTF  is wrong with us that we continue this selfishness? 

You know why? Because we are NOT in Syria, Mexico or any other war torn country listen to screaming, seeing homes destroyed, babies lying gin the streets, orphans because mom was cooking when the apartment exploded, limbs blow off, death and decay in the streets. Instead we'll have our beer & hotdogs, sparklers and laughs as our pets chase fireworks.

I called it 'As above - So below'  because I feel (regrettably)  that America is causing so much pain it's only a matter of time - before they experience the wrath they put on others and then when theses 'Immigrants"  have nothing they are turned  away or PUT in cages AS we are NOW witnessing...   after they blow up their homes & countries  because of GREED.

By the way- Fireworks  kill and harm many children & adults too.  
Here is a site that will help you prepare to help your animals  tonight if YOU care:

* Just learned today - Bouncy towers/castles harm & kill more kids than cannabis. 
                                           WTF is wrong with our priorities. 

Reflection &  heatwave..  Perfect.
It's too hot to do anything but swim with the girls, watch the bees and nap in the gazebo & paint.  Life is blooming all around & I am grateful to witness it's miracle unfold.  
I'm painting Cannabis inspired art (of course) - Canadian Cannabis in preparation for legalization if a couple of months. 

Here's a few hints of my newest paintings.. including this years poster for the Cain Foray. 
I've also completed... Snow-white, Canadian Rock Lobster, mama & baby bear, loons, the cowardly lion, Mickey mouse,  flying elephants & Pooh- the Canadian black bear.  
​Lot's of 'PEEL  porn' videos too.   lol 
​
When Cannabis is legal on October 17th, I will be giving away an awesome original painting to celebrate!! To a fellow Canadian - a prize pack with amazing cannabis inspired art  from me, Joshua Boulet, Ivan Art...  stay tooned.

This break I am taking- has been an eye opening experience so far - back to it.
New paint- new paper- new ideas! Wait & see!!
