I've recently discovered this Japanese artist on Twitter..
Go here:
https://twitter.com/avogado6   
His work displays how many of us feel at times during our lives & it's not always enjoyable these are some powerful images.  

It has inspired me to work on some drawings of my own.
It's a way to deal with the issues and educate - doing what I do best.... drawing.
Painting can also be part of a specific healing process, I'm not sure about other artists but once it's OUT on paper it's out of my mind and life goes on.. I guess a drawing purge of sorts.  I drew countless images over the years afraid to show them- not realizing how many  would actually 'relate to my drawings.  We are not so different.
Maybe that reason alone is helpful for those who can't put into words what they are experiencing. 

Viewers be warned. It won't be your usual bear, sloth work.
Tomorrows painting is titled:                   Dear Anthony,  I get it.


Ending on positive note.. my son visited yesterday (with Burger priest for lunch) to do laundry and an oil change, it was nice to just sit in the driveway while he worked, the girls on the front lawn as we all listened to city adventures.  I can hear the appreciation for the best of both worlds Storm has at the moment.  Daisy was thrilled and laid more of a guilt trip on him when he was getting ready to leave that I do! LOL   It's good to be loved.

A friend sent me an e mail showing my website BLOCKED  in the USA  (New York)
Reason given Category : Abused Drugs.
This is what is happening in America right now.
Have you seen the new documentary on Netflix about Social media & privacy?
How the CIA is breaking down doors of 12 year olds and putting tourists in jail for posting derogatory remarks about Trump?
You will only be shown what they want you to see. 
Where is democracy going?
Free Speech.

 

Our on Forays I've noticed a few things besides the mushrooms, birds & chipmunks - trash.
TRASH - Garbage left by trashy people with no respect of our 'living' room called earth.
Seriously people - what's the problem?
You can't carry that empty coffee cup any further?
That empty pop bottle too heavy to tote now that you consumed the content? 
Worse - every time I've gone on a foray chances are I stumble across  a condom. WTF?  
You are a dirty PIG if you fuck in the woods and leave your condoms there for others to find and nature to insult. 

What the fuck are you doing fucking in the woods in a public parks in the first place?!
This is not acceptable behaviour- there are rooms, hotels - we don't need to find your trace in OUR PUBLIC space - show some respect for others & yourself.

There is nothing nastier than finding a beautiful edible chanterelle - with a used condom beside it.  Following this grossness is cigarette butts!  Talk about ignorance and carelessness  and again I find myself wondering why? Why be out here in the wood surrounded by everything natural & beautiful - peaceful - if you're the type of person to throw your cigarettes  on the forest floor - you don't deserve to be there. 

Many occasions I wear rubbers myself - the GLOVE kind -  & pick up others trash, while I wait for mushroom identification to occur.  It's easy to get a garbage bag full in most cases.  I recently discovered a woman who lives locally on IG - she calls herself The Ditch Bitch- and she cleans up others trash- in my neighbourhood!  I decided to thank her with a little original (below)... and it inspired my gnome.  
Make a difference.. pick up trash - better yet- DON'T drop it in the first place.

A keep your fucking condoms on your weiner until you get into your own car or home thanks -  for all those who do leave 'parts of themselves' in the forrest, your trashy treasures left for us to discover: 
​May a tick find and bite you where it counts.

Does anyone think this is going to get "better" - let's face it.. Trump is jealous of Trudeau
look at him, it's obvious and jealous of his style - sock envy.  It's going to get worse.

Trump is no more than a bully and his insecurities are glowing around the world  & his American advisors  jump on the band wagon-  "A special place in Hell"  for Trudeau-, wow.. whats up America?  Is this the American who believes in God then? Phhhhbt.   The one that is against other things like 'Thou shall NOT kill?' But sells & owns more guns than any other  country -  when was the last school shooting - so many I can't recall.   Hmm,  I'm sure there is a special place in Hell - and it's not for Trudeau - chances are its for a racist, pussy grabbing, selfish, hate feeling, LIAR, wall building bully. 

What's happening here..  how are Canadians reacting?

Canadians are not too thrilled with this latest performance put on by your "president" Eh. 
Are we bitching about it- a little..    it's great Americans are saying #thanksCanada  trying to make up of the actions of the biggest bully on the planet. Isn't that sad  alone - the USA is represented by the most hated man who is also the biggest 'bully' amongst other things..  He's not taken seriously any longer, his lies documented daily.
He is only seen as a BIG JOKE, who is all about greed. 
It appears  he is not capable of caring for any one other than himself.
Not all of us are as diplomatic as Trudeau - please.  Enough is enough.

What are Canadians saying?  It's not what we are saying - it's what we are doing.
It's Simple  & obvious...  Hurt Trump where it hurts him the most:
Bye America...  because here right 'now'  many will only BUY Canadian.
           BUY Canadian.  

Why would any sane Canadian continue to support TRUMP & all he greeds for?

Ironically the last few purchases I've made have been from the USA, people (artists) off of instagram - because I love their work- I like them  but come on, enough is enough..  when will Americans stand up to him and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!  
If you won't support us or yourself by standing up to this menace - we won't support you with our dollar.  Would you?
Would you support us if Trudeau said the things your "President"  & his paid cohorts spew? 

In one way I feel sad for those I have been supporting (they might not agree with what's happened) but in all reality anything I have been getting in the USA - I CAN & WILL find the same service, goods made right here Made in Canada.  Every store I enter I'm asking "what's made in Canada?"  from Dog treats to produce to our new furniture.  
NOTHING USA until you get rid of that ASS.  
Do Americans think they will come out unscathed regarding these Tariffs, will they continue to support Trumps Tantrum Tweets?  Time will tell.

We Canadians do have reputation for being nice, kind - I believe some mistake this for "Weak" I believe they will soon find out the two are not the same.  

NOW with Cannabis I see a lot of Americans venturing up here wanting to do business - yes, I guess so - a couple remind of Trump - GREED is the main goal- do some research- who will you invest your Canadian Cannabis $$$ with?  
Please consider - it might seem insignificant 'little purchases" but they are far from it.  
They add up.

​People will treat you as you let them.. Trump will treat us - as WE let him.

Hurt Trump where HE will notice it most.  
BUY Canadian.
Don't mistake our kindness for weakness...

Yep this is me!
No make up, messy hair.. I' was so happy to share this photo with a few closest to me.  It was me Saturday (on the new medication)  you have no idea how hard it is even to get a photo with both eyes open due to my hemifacial spasms... this is me getting a break & being able to smile!  
This morning I see a post on IG where a woman shows her 'before & after' -what the difference  hair & lipstick does for your 'confidence'.  Fuck that!
Oh my gosh, enough with teaching woman we need lipstick and our hair done to be confident!  If you can go out into this world and be yourself as is - THAT is confidence!
Why let anyone define you other wise?  
If someone judges you on your outside appearance - the problem is with them.  
Women are ALREADY subject to all sorts of double standards - imagine how successful we would be if we could be like men and just be respected for who we are and what we do not for our "make-up" or our cleavage/booty.. imagine if MEN would only feel confident if they did their hair and put on some lipstick - such bullshit.  
Why encourage it? Why promote it?
Don't get me wrong- I've worn make-up and still do from time to time - I'm an artist & like to play with ALL canvas & some women (and men) are truly incredible make up artists  BUT    
                                Makeup does NOT define my level of confidence
                                           and it should not define yours.

PLEASE do NOT teach this to YOUR daughters!
Teach them to GO out into the world - head held high with a smile on their face - even if she forgets her LIPSTICK.
​
 In the news:  This woman- for the record DOES not represent the majority of Canadians - she say's NOW "that's not who I am"  bullshit-  then WHO ARE YOU!? lol Cause you sure appear to be a racist nasty, threatening, redneck bitch (alcohol or not)... the crap that comes out her mouth - you don't say stuff like that if you don't believe it,  she's confident and wearing lipstick (it appears) there is an old  saying: Lipstick on a pig. 
Forget lipstick - focus on YOU.

I did too much this past weekend - because I felt so good to get a 'break' from twitch-  Saturday was great - reduced by almost 70%, the next day.. I'd say reduced by 40% .. Sunday good too but yesterday was only by about 20%.. I am happy to be able to smile even if for only a few moments interrupted. Lipstick or not- if you don't find  me attractive- fuck off- lol, I could care less.  I am not here for you. YOU do not define me.

BYW- Do you like my tassels? lol (image below)
A woman from Florida - Kat (I've never met) sent me this 'painting smock' - she bought  it & knew it would be 'big'  but she said it would be comfortable to paint in and artsy to boot!  
​I must say- I put it on to paint and it is super comfy!  
This is me.

If you don't like me- due to my looks or personality - stop visiting this blog.
It's that simple.

NEXT, I am promoting for YOUNG woman to get ready to GROW Cannabis & why.
With a cute little painting called  'Girlfriends in the Garden'.  I named this girl "Honey".

Day care...  in the hot seat.  I can't draw about this.
I have concerns with daycare with good reason why.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-dayhome-death-elmarie-simons-ceira-mcgrath-plea-1.4631437?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
Daycare...  when Storm was little  as you are aware  for many reasons I too wanted a break & needed one due to the many sleepless nights we experienced -  and I needed the work , we needed the $$$ living the dream- you know...  here are just a few things that happened :
- one daycare I interviewed the owner told me  (after Storm pointed to a glass expressing   wanting a drink) "he won't get a drink in this house until he learns to ask for it properly" she remarked. I looked at her stunned.  Storm was deaf- he could not speak properly, needless to say I never left him there. 
-One daycare lost Storm. Lost him for so long they had to phone me- "we can't find him." 
Imagine that drive from Newmarket simply to get 'some peaceful time'... he was frightened and hid. They eventually found him under a bathroom counter.   He never went back a couple of times but I never felt comfortable - do you blame me?
At school once after helping him with his garments in a bathroom the teacher left and tuned out the light... I just so happened to be volunteering (Thank God) & asked after 'not' seeing MY kid come thought the game activities "Where's Storm?"  That never happened again and they got an EARFUL - you know it.
Another time his sitter got careless and Storm got into the baby teething gel - accident happen all the time. ***DO NOT HAVE this stuff lying around!!!*** He became lifeless, I rushed him to the hospital- Imagine THAT drive & they immediately shoved a tube to administer charcoal in him to absorb the poison.  I watched the entire thing and it was not nice.                   That is just us! 

We are surrounded  by 'private' daycares - I see one everyday.. I usually hear kids crying every time they are out there -eventually, I do not enjoy it & we have discussed the issue in length - to the point  I'd like to relocate other days I get frustrated & think 'Why should we move.... when we moved here we did NOT anticipate living beside a private daycare - listening to kids all day, if that was what we wanted we would have MOVED beside a school, I'm not alone I've had other neighbours express the same concerns.
At the same time 'I get it' & understand we are all just trying to make a living.. if you look after kids = LOOK after the KIDS. The kids appear to be  looked well after' but with me working on 'dog bite prevention' books for one - dogs and too many kids stress me out.  The police constantly pulling over people who run these stop signs - in this SCHOOL zone- stress me out, I know it's only a matter of time before a child gets hit.  No wonder I long for a house in the hills.. alone.

I will report the next time I see 7 kids and a toddler on a trampoline - I would never forgive myself if I witnessed a situation and then found out a child was hurt.  I find I worry about others kids, what do I do? It's like they are in my own backyard somedays - I wish I could IGNORE it but I can not.  
                   Would YOU want me to - if it was your grandchild?
IF I see something I do not feel is safe for the children - I will contact authorities.
So SHOULD you!  
​
How about before you have a child you try to figure out how to stay home to look after it yourself, have  family you can trust or a care giver  before you place your helpless child  in a strangers home who sees your child as a source of income $ & not a little living being to be  loved & watched not to be sat in a corner while they FB or IG.
* I would see in my sitter was on IG all day *IF so - there would be a 'NO.  Go check.  OR how about we demand our government into addressing the situation- either pay moms to stay home or we pay these *professional  providers well to CARE for our children. Make more services available- Professional day cares in schools.  This woman-  Arrrrrgh! & she should GO TO JAIL.  For herself... either way she will struggle with this forever... not as much as that family.
VERDICT:  calgary-toddler-1.4643301?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
​
I hope some of you realize why I say this over & over
Cannabis- safer than daycare.  YOU are the Gate Keeper for your children...
Parents are responsible for education on all things dangerous - truthfully.
Time to put things into fucking perspective so education& resources can be spent on checking daycares out - not shutting down  'legal'  individual businesses.

I  upgraded my Cockpit chair!! It was time, it is an important tool of the trade... & my old recycled! Poppy is loving it - me too.. NOW I'm about to draw- it was actually "too hot" out yesterday! LOL   I had to come inside - Oh Canada! I love you!  
Freezing one day - Humidx the next.

         Hey Hey Hey!! Now - Put the RAPIST away.
                Guilty Guilty Guilty - as IF we needed the 2nd court case to prove it.  
 & yes, I AM thrilled it is because of  fantastic female Canadian who did NOT let this F*&^%NG RAPIST intimidate, lie or $$$ his way out of this one.  
​People are paying attention.  TIMES up.
When are judges going to be held accountable for letting these predators go - again and again so they can continue to destroy & abuse? Treated 'DIFFERENT because of his wealth & fame.  What would Fat Albert say? Throw away the key.  
I watched Fat Albert  - did you, I can say with confidence Fat Albert would be disgusted with Bill Cosby, as should ALL be.  WTF is wrong with the power hungry sleeze bags?
*BTW- the lyrics from FAT ALBERT are exactly as I drew in the cartoon - was that not a premonition  in hindsight or what? He probably sang it to himself before he raped his passed out VICTIMS.

NOW he should GO to JAIL - just like others 'NOT of his class' would have been in jail already by now and would stay there for YEARS.. Will he? Right NOW -he is locked up in his mansion - boohoo.
He'll probably only get  5 years with all his money...  His career is OVER.  
Who would pay to SUPPORT  this rapist in anything from this day forward?
Jello has lost it's appeal  because of him. 
Once looked at as a role Model- Americas Dad' - Phhhhbt! 
            Bill Cosy will NOW only be remembered for the Rapist he is.  

He was behaving beyond badly with his drugging- because he knew women probably would have PASSED - just look at this CREEP in this interview.  I'm curious what David Letterman thinks now.   Imagine waking up to realize YOU had been sexually assaulted by BILL Cosby, yuk yuk yuk.  

I'll draw it out- give him the attention he deserves - above all else I draw to SUPPORT the women he DRUGGED & RAPED.  #metoo

                          Hey Hey Hey - What do you think FAT ALBERT would say?:
                             Guilty? Guilty! Guilty! - Hey Hey hey 'Put the rapist away!
NOW.
Next?

Inside: Strutt them Feathers!  
If you got it  flaunt it.  An original Gouache 5 x 7 card & matching envelope
I think soon I'll start selling more originals. $20. 
If someone is interested in this card e me! 

Thank you for the excitement for my mushroom card. I was pleased & amused the first Gift &  the first official SALE' were mailed to Russia &  the other  to St. Petersburg, Florida. 
The first official sale- also got the new "we are all connected'  postcard! 
To be announced soon..

Strut them feathers... This woman did just that.. she shared her nude images during an affair, then the other woman shared her images with a police force where the first woman was applying for  job.. It should be an interesting case. Really though... DO NOT send naked images to anyone... and you'll never have to worry about revenge porn will you?  She is a victim sadly, but she kinda put herself in the situation - so I sway either way at the moment.

We still don't know the names of the dead..  My girlfriend remarked- stuff you kinda do forget about: How much do you think this COST?  We ALL know the cost of the lives- priceless. How much do you think the tax payers will pay for this guy when all is over? The police,  clean up,  damage,  PTSD of COUNTLESS, van/vehicle, court costs - to go to JAIL forever (we know this is the outcome) and lets say he lives out rest of his life naturally- UNLIKE those he MOWED down - he's 25.. so guessing 50 years tops- 75 - Well it cost us in 2012 = $113,000.00 a YEAR to keep an inmate in prison so.. to keep this guy alive it will cost: READY??  =       $5,650000.00 or more.
    That is just jail - not all the other damage he did... NOT including PTSD
Capital punishment would be more affordable.  
I'm never going to mention his name - he does NOT deserve it.
My crusty phone pal says he thinks 'the Truck driver who killed the hockey team should get Capital punishment,  "someone should shoot him".    I disagree.  He did not intentionally  
try to kill all those people... he will suffer the rest his life.  I've have personally known people who have been responsible for the death of others in a car accident - It messes them up.
This 'Other - Phhhbt - HE knew EXACTLY what he was doing. The sooner he is GONE the sooner everyone can move forward. We'll hear about his mental health, his Aspergers' & his loathing for women because he can't get laid - why will we waste our time NOW on him - is beyond me.

The government is talking - decriminalizing  *ALL small amounts of drugs - which is the best thing I have heard in a LONG time! AMEN Canada! Oh... Russ: I told you! For all the still fear mongering-   BEFORE July 1st! Get your garden pots ready!!

I LOVE Justin Trudeau! & family  
​https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/16/canada-liberal-party-considers-decriminalization-all-illicit-drugs   THIS is huge- do you think this would have ever happened with HARPER? Ha.   Justin is a caring Canadian  who does NOT want to see other Canadians suffer- WE ALL know he knows about this Cannanbis bull but steps have to be taken,  I am very grateful for him - every day. YOU should deb too- we should not treat others with drug addictions like criminals, we should be permitted to CHOOSE what we put into our own bodies as long as we don't harm others or ourselves.

I'm not sure why I bought this book or rather why I was drawn to this one but I was. 
It's my cannabis education that also informed me about Human Trafficking - and how we waste  time & resources  with Drug trafficking - it's shameful.   I don't understand it.
I understand less..  people who are capable of sexually/physically abuse & hurt children - Then add the worst element you possibly can- the children are being perpetrated & used, abused by their own parents- is just FUCKING EVIL.

& for any who dare to argue Kids are o.k. with it - should read this book. The anger in his words years later- you can still feel his pain. I could .. it took me a long time to read this book, I had it before the last 2...  it is a true story of sexual abuse of a little boy and a very tragic story. While reading  I kept thinking - If I could get at his mother...  why didn't someone help him? How could they allow this to happen.. the name calling that went in my mind was not a good place to be. I had to finish. If this man could endure what he did and then share it with us to educate - how can I not read it and try to help to bring awareness. Not seeing it' will not make it go away- not seeing it does not mean it does not happen.

At one point when he talks about most of the men who come to have sex with the kids - don't even care to remove their wedding rings... they wonder - do they have children at home?  It literally made me feel sick to my stomach a few times.   If you think it doesn't mentally mess them up - read the book, see what is happening - the hate this creates - as far as I am concerned this is the sickest act an adult can achieve and I believe they should be severely punished. If you can't control your self around children sexual/physically -YOU are in fact the one with the problem... get castrated... before some innocent childs' life is destroyed because of lack control by an  deranged egotistical, evil adult,  as for the mother in the book - I have no words.   I know what I was wishing would happen to her  as I was reading - so YES,  I was let down at the end to read she was not  taken out back and beaten.. as she did so many times to that baby boy.  He could never understand why no one said anything...   What would you do if you suspected someone of abusing children... it can be a very serious implication to someone in a negative way- but far more serious to a child who is LIVING through the HELL.  

I understand people who hurt, hurt... this is not just inflicting pain - this is degrading a human so low they can hardly function, a tiny human..  who does not deserve this in any way.  The money we waste on DRUG trafficking when  this sort of thing is happen NOW to children is a terrible sign of a struggling society.  Read it.   

It has inspired a few drawing editorials when I stop feeling so sick about it.
I am very grateful to Joe Peters for sharing this - it must be incredibly difficult still- although it ends with him  and he is  with  a wife and children of his own.

​ Thank God.

 New art next!

What to paint for 420??
Clearly my mind is anticipating legal cannabis is Canada SOON!
& I'm thrilled  - just like this furry, fun loving bong bearing beaver!!
Who being an artist &  has carved a leaf from a log just like Michelangelo - setting it FREE!
How will I celebrate today?  Just like every other day...
Offering thanks to God and Storm for providing this plant medicine  which allows me (& many) to paint, function, live... chop wood & carry water. 

The FACT that less people will be going to jail in Canada over this PLANT is more than I could ever hoped for - and this will soon be the case! 
With legalization comes education and experience and AWARENESS
.. & less Alcohol & opiate consumption (positive thinking).

*Have you seen the new  doc on Netflix?  How  ADDERALL is only a tweaks away from being legal meth.. phhhbt..     I really  had no idea - you see  (& I type 'SEE' because you can read our journey here on cannabis for the past 10 years- living PROOF!!!)  this is what happens when your teenager gets LEGAL permission (thank you Dr.D & Health Canada) to use cannabis for medicine- a natural plant option... with wonderful healing potential;  neither of us was/were (?kids- learn your grammar)  aware it was as serious a problem as it is.  At one point a mom in the doc. remarks - about her own son- who she put on Adderall  when just a kid actually suggested it was due to the pills he was where he was NOW with his art... How fucking presumptuous is that? Hearing this - I thought: 
 Yeah lady, what ever helps you sleep at night.

 Seriously it blows my &^%$#@! mind how incredibly  judgemental people have been over cannabis as my sons medicine (never mind mine- after failed brain surgery) including some of our own family - you know who you are - and STILL are - yet this???
THIS frame of mind is o.k.?  This is better for our (your) children.  
I am  grateful for this education on every f*cking level!  

Not only has canabis helped save my sons life - it's set us free from living with & hearing from ignorant, judgemental people who would rather take the time to speculate than to KNOW... who instead of listening to family  - listened to the media and it's fear mongering and turned their backs on us...  "family".  We are far better off NOT being around this type of mentality - related or not - it's certainly not one based in love.

Rise & Grind - Wake & bake
Give Thanks

Once there was a Tinky Winky
Who had a little too much to Drinky 
& this effected how he Thinky.

Tinky Winky + thinky + Drinky =
Sinky.   (Into depression)

I doubt very much Tinky Winky would be dead
.. had he switched to JUST cannabis instead.

R.I.P Tinky Winky.  2018

Have I lied?  
I read this this morning and shook my head... not hit by a bus, not a heart attack.. he froze to death from being passed out DRUNK in a ditch. Is this the middle ages? How does this happen?   Alcohol IS a PROBLEM.  Alcohol kills and YET  our own canadian government is TREATING us & cannabis as IF we are still criminals-  Cannabis the the safer option.  Not allowing advertising- what about ALCOHOL Justin??? Alcohol, proven to have caused deaths many times over in many ways..  can advertise - is thought to be NORMAL - a way to make every celebration complete-  well here are the facts in YOUR face. 
It is an opportunity to teach all children the TRUTH:
​Tinky Winky had too much to drink and died.  
How f*cking sad.  Check out this list we can add Tinky to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_through_alcohol

I thought to myself this might make some people angry.. good. Are you angry with me?
How about you get angry with a government who continues to mislead it's people by promoting, and allowing the abuses of alcohol to continue at a profit - DO you know how much he LCBO in canada makes- IT is the biggest Monolopy in the world OUR booze sales earn our government billions FACT.  $22.1 billion last year alone.  Is there any wonder we see hyprocy when it comes o alcohol & cannabis- DO NOT stand for it.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/statscan-alcohol-sales-1.4095446

​I REFUSE to let anyone label me a criminal or "stoner" for my choosing cannabis - educate yourself on the facts & then lets continue the conversation - as legalization gets here- regarding advertising- theres going to be challenges  and cannabis will win. 
The Sun. The moon & the Truth - can not be hidden long.

Cananbis is much safer than Alcohol.
World wide Deaths from Cannabis alone:   0
World wide Deaths from Alcohol alone :  Too many to ever keep track of  & counting.

I do feel truly sad for the gentleman who played Tinky Winky , Simon Shelton.
What a sad, lonely way to go.
