Gumby & Pokey the drug mule...

     If Gumby was in the Cannabis Industry - marketing & packaging  would be all the buzz.
Have you introduced your kids Gumby? I grew up a single child raised by a single working mom  so I watched a lot of cartoons & had a lot of 'alone time. Gumby, Bugs, Mickey & Kermit were not just entertainment' but friends' who inspired a great deal. 

I realized how serious many of the lesson Gumby discussed were as a child & Beeecause they stuck' with me to date & are still a problem today as in 2 Bee or Not 2 Bee.  Spraying illegal chemicals on the plants making all the Bees sick s- they get a Biker metal Bee to help  If only it was so.  Gumby was educating children the best way the creator thought to do.
Me too.

Gumby also encouraged limitless creativity with his magical body of clay powers & pony pal Pokey too.  Hee hee     Creativity keep me going, these little characters sit in a shelf in my office treasures from the past- I like them because they trigger happy memories... if I had any advice to offer anyone about decor in the work space' make sure all you see is associated with a good memory or peaceful feeling.  

Today was one of those days I lay down for a nap & that turned into 6 hours! Clearly,  needed, still feeling tired I'll take a few quite days to paint, rest & medicate & meditate.  & catch up on some painting that have been under the surface for a while now.  That's always good news for anyone that might be waiting on a painting... or mail - your patience is  appreciated.

I just found out about a 'GoFundMe' I am going to contribute to & I encourage you  to consider the same.  Toronto ground breaking documented research for depression, anxiety using microdosing psilocybin:         https://www.gofundme.com/microdosing

Spring Buds...

It's time - 'Spring Blossoms' & of course I'm thinking of Spring buds & Spring Buds!  I also watched 'Memoirs of Geisha, I can't say as I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time, visually a great movie but the story - all too the same.  Differnt women, differnt culture, same struggle.  This time it made me think it's another version of 'Pretty Woman'.  Life as a porstiture - is rarely happily ever after.  Far from it.  To think I raved about that movie the first time I saw it back in 1990 '28' years ago & now what I think are two very different opinions. 

Age, wisdom.. time changes you and your opinion on much if you allow it... and you may as well anyhow because it's happening  - like it or not. Thank God or it would be brutal if we all got stuck at 15.  Not to say there are not some very impressive, incredibly intelligent & craazy creative 15 year olds out there - even younger - you realize it when you hear 'them speaking about climate change' & still hopeful we can do something about it.  That Walrus special on Netflix.. I watched it and it was - really heartbreaking awakening, I turned away...  to see these animals struggle & then perish as they do.   Talk about climate change denial, you won't after watching that - So, if for that reason alone - Please do.  Do not pretend you do not see or do not know, afterall it's the least we can do - acknowledge our...  I can't think of one word to describe what we do to this planest on a daily basics..   I guess It would be: Rape. 

Nothing can be done to help the walrus, I am not in denial - I can paint them to show my appreciation  and hope it helps me & others take a little more care to prevent/slow down future animal inhalation.  Plastic bags really need to go - the garbage Walmart hands out here 'rips so easily you can't even use them twice - why are we allowing this, so it won't intefer with shopping?
Different quality from the bags in the USA.  Check & see, I noticed when in California.
Goodbye walrus,  sorry we are such consuming beasts.' 

The buds are beautiful..   they remind me of new life.  You stare at those ice covered branches only a few weeks ago & think - how do they survive this, are they dead?
They do survive.  Geisha are beautiful - the word means 'Artist - I guess in a way - I am a Geisha - lol  in essesnce,  are all women  not Geisha? What are these titles...   Geisha, Prostiture, street worker, whore, slut, bitch...  I have no problem with those words I know it's only a matter of ones opinions';  it's 'Pimp  & sex trafficking' that bother me.  I read about a young very intelligent woman in college  who thought she was being romanced and  was force & beaten into having sex with strangers for money only weeks later - humiliated, exhausted, she did not want to tell anyone.    Frig, another young woman  got into a car she thought was her Uber because she was not paying attention - too busy on her phone & was never seen again.  & Social media-  is harming YOUNG women in particular, if I was a parent I'd take away the phone between set hours because: I love her.
But I get it...   I am not you & currently living with a teenage girl.  What will you do?
Priorities.  I think they need re defining, on a global scale.    
Global warming it's real.

Next - a Truibute to Walt Disney, Dumbo & Depression.

On my mind...  Michael Jackson.

What are you reading?  When I first painted this I added the title in gold- but did not like how it looked so I went over it - one reason I love gouache, look how well it covered it.. and then I realized anyway - it does not need the title, one should be able to figure it out on your own. This was inspired by an image I saw on pin of an actual book someone has grown mushrooms out of - what a neat idea.

On my mind - much.. I see a dispensary was raided for selling edibles that resembled candy - they even packaged it  with a name very close to Candy - like  Qandy'  So - first - what were you thinking?   I don't think adults NEED gummy candies shaped like bears or worms- but fuck yeah!  -Who doesn't like gummies? I prefer the more natural fruit roll ups' -dehydrated fruit (Is anyone making those?) Why are they making them? Because PEOPLE WANT them. & they will continue to make them - as long as the demand is there & it's not going away anytime soon- I read Martha Stewart has been hired by Tweed- come on people, YOU know they are going to be producing some fine gummies - and then some - WHO ISNT? & good because we want it!  So as for the raid - Please, in a short time  we will see chocolates, gummies, pop, beer,  and more ALL medicated'.  I do not think this person  should go to jail- (they probably won't)  I think it's a waste of time at this point - and DO NOT understand why we are not demanding  our police force FOCUS on more important issues like fucking missing, raped, abused women & children, actual PHYSICAL beings that are being HURT. I do NOT understand it any more.

I have not seen Leaving Neverland yet,  when the court case was on I felt then he was guilty.  I have issues... I can't stop thinking about this & it makes me sad & angry & sleepless,  people who abuse children for their own selfish demented sick needs are the some of sickest on the planet.   Sexual abuse of children is a serious problem- human trafficking of children is a serious fucking issue!!  It messes up a child forever & someone like Michael Jackson who think because OF $$$$ he was permitted to do what ever the fuck he wanted.  When people say - how did the kids not know it was abuse- when an adult you trust TELLS you something, YOU believe it. 
Look at priests & coaches - people who have put themselves in situations to intentionally HURT children.  Everyone who enabled Michael Jackson to get away with what he did - is ALSO guilty. He got away with what he did for as long as he did BECAUSE others helped him.    Anyone who looks at Michael Jackson and does not realize how sick he was - I feel the plastic surgeons who kept working on him - should be held accountable to some degree.  & there is the fact that he was beaten -abused by his dad... so what! If everyone who's dad/mom beat them turned to child abuse -we would be in serious trouble.

Why did the kids want to stay around him? Why do children who have had their parents abuse them for years - stay and even defend them? I can tell you from my own personal experience,  I've had several events in my life  where I can see an image 'now', hear a song and suddenly I AM right BACK at that moment in time.  I feel the fear,  pain and anger in an instant - year of self help books, talking with Dr.s and more, medication- nothing works. UNTIL you KNOW what they have felt with WALK in their shoes.  LEARN from this what GROOMING children for sexual abuse looks like.
What fucking grown man NEEDS to sleep with children? How is this EVER normal?  
It is happening everywhere - by people who appear to be lovely, caring & interested -
they are not- they are evils, nasty PREDATORS.  The classic signs of grooming:  
They convince others  they are safe with them.
They  groom family with gifts, attention  & $$$
They then convince them they are special. 
Then touching is introduced- it starts with ruff housing, playing accidentally  touching genitals. It's probably someone YOU KNOW! 

Teach your children NOW- it always amazes me people who don't want to teach their children about drugs or sex or predators -  for fear of frightening them - whats worse?
Kids being aware & a little frightened or kids being ABUSED or dead from accidental drug overdoses?   I can drop a pill on the floor & have already taught all my dogs - DO NOT TOUCH THAT fucking pill or mom will smack you!  Have you taught your kids the same??Go ahead, think I'm cruel - my dog's don't eat anything they find on the ground, do you know when I started this training?  After I had a dog die from a accidental drug overdose.   

1 in 6 men are molested as a child.. how sad is that.  
SPEAK UP!  If 6 or 56 year old - now or then - expose them for what they are.
I am thankful that sooner or later - the sun the moon an the truth come out.  Always.

As for his music- fuck it- I don't want to hear it,  when I do now all I thinks is:
He was  SEXUAL PREDATOR - if I hear it on Amazon music on Alexa I say 'SKIP'. 
If I hear it on the radio I'll change the station or play a CD.
His 'FANs" that continue to support him - because they love his music - are part of the problem.  What statement does that make?   The obvious pain that these men still deal with heart breaking.

The ONLY one Michael Jackson has to blame (or his family and fans) is..
​Michael Jackson.

Valentines for beautiful little girls!

Valentines for beautiful little black girls! 
This idea came to me while  looking at vintage valentines - to try to get a few ideas for cannabis cartoons.. as it happens I stumbled across one of the worst Valentine cards I've ever seen & the only thought to enter my mind is "When  is this EVER o.k.?"
The card mentioned was a 'black faced' little boy with a rope around neck (actual piece of string)  - stating:   Be Ma valentine.. I'll be hanged if you so no.                
It seems black face in general was a "humorous valentine" - topic... why I don't understand.
Who the fuck drew that? How was that EVER o.k. in anyones mind- never mind the person who signed it,  as a card creator I can't even fathom making such a card. I believe cards  make people happy, spread joy - make us laugh & yes many are rude but this is simply racist nasty, hatred.  It broke my heart to think that actually was seen by people never mind  enjoyed by someone...  & how would little kids feel who saw it? Black children? 

If you don't understand the hype around Gucci's black face sweater - or blackface- do some research, it's black history month so the timing is PERFECT for education!  Google images - or PIN even - black face images were used to 'make fun' of  others and most are seen in a very derogatory way - The person capable of creating such a card(s) is racist & ignorant. Then after looking for a bit- I noticed how few black children are ever portrayed in valentines at all - in art! Remember the fun sheets we had as kids, sure there are animals, cats. dogs, rockets but very few black children. I always had black friends growing up in Toronto, I don't remember what valentine they would have got, although I was big on cartoon characters - so it was probably Wilma or Betty... still. 
WTF? 

I've created some valentines for beautiful little black girls to receive & give from other little black girls or white girls to give their black friends -(boys too of course)  It's ABOUT LOVE
All shades.   These little beautiful ladies are so cute- I enjoyed drawing them, painting them and will paint more. I was intreguided to learn of all the hair styles & the fact hair is such a hot topic, for example i LOVE  afro hair I think is adorable and stunning on adults - men & women  I never realized the issues around it.  Black Hair braiding IS a FINE art - I can't even imagine how long some of these hair styles take. 

Such ignorance can't be erased from the past- I guess it's good we realize it finally & hopefully CHANGE - Children never deserve to be dragged into ADULT politics or judgement.  

Happy Valentines day! I love kids- all kids, all shades - they are the most creative beings I've even been fortunate to work with on this planet- the best thing I can do is CHANGE this Valentine situation - starting with the sheet for Beautiful little Black Girls!

This weeks painting lessonon my Instagram account is on how to paint a sloth.
I'll start by giving you a hand on how to draw a sloth- it's SUPER easy - trace your open hand.   TaDa.... Sloth outline already hanging upside down - now just paint it brown! 
Brown with bits of green - add some leaves for fun - and your done. I guarnetee you each time you paint this sloth it will become easier & better with each try - it would make a sweet little valentine painting for someone :   I'll hang around with you, anytime!

Im in a loving mood',  love for the planet & all living creatures on it.  Do you know what message is being repeated in: How to Change your mind - the book I'm reading...
'Love Conquers all.'    It's got me on a mission to spread some love... I think I'll paint some cards!

Try to paint the sloth...  It's easier than it looks.  Paint it anycolor you wish, I think a purple sloth would be even cuter - treat yourself to some peaceful, relaxing art by paitning a sweet little sloth & then imgaine those great big gangaly arms wrapping around you for a hug!
It's what I'll imagine on this -23  blustery day, lots of Snow is expected to start - hot coco is on the stove & the paint is wet!

Curious George!

Curious George - Explores the garden!  Where is this book? 
I'll admit I was not a huge Curious George fan - & believe it was in rebellion to being Called 'Curious George' when I was younger, especially by my Aunt Marine.  ;) Looking back now, they are fond memories.   Still it's hard not to like this curious little monkey  & all the antics he gets himself into...   I can't help but wonder "if only this book was available back then.. imagine all the misery it might have avoided.

Kids learn through books, every opportunity I get to EXPLORE a book store - I always end up in the kids section  to admire the art, why did adult books get so boring?   Traditional Curious George is what was painted, - just like I prefer the original Mickey Mouse. As fist I considered having curious George with some bongs, joints & other paraphernalia but decided against it as I like to keep the innocence of the Original character & intention.  I reflect sometimes when I see others art (especially cartoons/illustrations) represented in a different 'light' I follow a cartoonist 'Beck  I admire his work ethic & talent -a couple of his stickers... I'm not fond of & it's not because I'm prudish.  I don't know..  it's not a direction  I will go. He has a few I absolutely love like the WB Monster,  his computer skills fascinate & inspire me - to continue painting. lol  I can hardly keep up with online lessons never mind the actual programs - I truly like to use a paint & brush, not that I don't enjoy my ipen & iPad from time to time. Check out Beck on IG, he has something for everyone.

On my Instagram account you can see a real time video &  a time-lapse of this painting.

I highly recommend "Brain Child" on Netflix - watch it & invite your kids to join you.

Next my lesson in Sacred Geometry resulted  in a different sort of Bird.

A Christmas gift to Tres.. & me.

22/12/2018

0 Comments

 
This year my Christmas gift to 'me' was to paint a gift for someone else...  a young man who uses Cannabis for his medicine. I was  upset thinking he wouldn't get it on time due to the recent postal strike but Canada Post came through! Thank you!   Thank you. Thank you.

I follow on Instagram:  SBSK  special books for special kids . I love these two that travel the world interviewing others with disabilities,  God has this young man doing what he is meant to do - the love he (they) continually displays for everyone they interview - if the world had more like him we would be much better off.   I do have an understanding of what it feels like for parents to have a child with a serious illness - they deal with more than you will ever comprehend, lots you definitely do NOT see on social media.  

I would like, if possible to brighten their lives - if I can & have in the past for a few children & parents, Jamies mom & I still text regular on Instagram and I am forget inspired meeting my little rocket man  (in space with his dog)  so when I read about Tres on SBSK I sent his mom a message asking: What did he like?  Her reply: dinosaurs.   That was all I needed & I knew he already used cannabis so I took a couple of days and put love into every brush stroke and I was pretty pleased when finished, mailed it off JUST last week & he will be opening it Christmas day!  Mom loved it so much she is gong to wrap it and give it to him and will send me a photo, I'm so excited. ;))) !! 
Picture
Tres mom sent me a message on instagram when it arrived and I believe I have made a family very happy this Christmas, she said she wanted to cry,  I must admit I became quite emotional when painting Tres,   :) tears of joy - riding a dinosaur - I imagined the fun he would have, it made me smile countless times - time well spent.   I thanked Tres mom for the opportunity to paint her beautiful son - that is all I see.   
A beautiful family. Tres mom is trying to educate on her son's illness with her instagram page, I get that too.   *Understanding eliminates IGNORANCE -  sometimes ignorant people are  Fucking CRUEL. Fact.

I think about who  I paint while working & the more I looked at Tres photo (hours) the more I thought he is truly a beautiful boy & was able to capture' what I wanted.. Tres having a great time on back of that  big happy dinosaur, happy to be together, see it in the clouds.  I was also very amused and happy that his two older brothers also want paintings on dinosaurs now! lol That too had me smiling all day.

Someone not long ago remarked  I was 'ugly & anyone would be ashamed to be seen with me',  well aware of my disability,  I am a 54 year old woman who knows better - but it still effected me, more than I care to admit.  When painting Tres, I thought again of these hateful remarks & at first I could feel my hairs stand on end as mamabear growled within  & then it was if  a calm  weight suddenly  gave me a warm hug  - See them for what they are & understand the only thing you can feel for people who think  like that is: PITY.      
                                   
If you only 'see' a disability you are blind. 

Painting Tres gave me strength & enjoyment. 
Tres reminded me what I love to do & what's REALLY important to me.
Tres  has inspired me to keep going - face forward - head held high!  Pun intended.
Tres & his family are an example of LOVE 
My gift to me - because Tres reminded I am beautiful & I am grateful to him & his Family for the knowledge & education, my gift to me.

A little Cannabis decoration.

Crafting, coloring & creating are all opportunities to make memories & teach, what better  time to teach about cannabis, Christmas, natural medicine & more.
Here are some  decorations you  can color, use for gift tags,  attach some string & make a garland or hang them on the tree. Cut out & color each one, stick on a bigger piece of paper to create custom cards. I've even included a mushroom  - a very popular tree decoration in Europe - it is a wonderful introduction to talk about reindeer, wild mushrooms & NEVER eating a mushroom unless you are positive it is safe.

If you bake, clearly mark your edibles to avoid any confusion during the holiday & safely keep away from children & pets.  Just over a week away & Christmas will be here.
​Happy Holidays.

Frosty the Growman!

20/11/2018

It's Frosty the Growman! He arrived with the first Magical Snow - which is still here, not looking as magical - more expected today!  Today is universal Children's day,  Children need to be educated on cannabis so they do not repeat mistakes their parents made. 

I can't express how happy I feel to finally pick up the news and read such headlines like:
Cannabis legalization has  NOT led to increased traffic impairments/ accidents.
Which I knew -(10 years experience +)  most I know who smoke cannabis assure me they are more cautious 'calmer drivers.. those who experience road RAGE could use some nice calming cannabis from time to time.

As well as no surge in Reefer madness- it's finally being addressed Alcohol is MORE harmful than cannabis!  THIS I KNOW for a fact. 10 years experience - thank God.  My hang -over days are long over- because I don't drink anymore, a glass or two tops from time to time that's it. NO more drunken binges - puking until theres no more, head pounding "what happened last night?" - Does NO longer happen - because Alcohol is poison (fact) and not good for your health or brains. Cheers. https://globalnews.ca/news/4671669/alcohol-or-marijuana-healthier/  So apparently  people are "switching' Good!!  GREAT! Less death, less depression, less drivers drunk- killing others or themselves!
Teach this to your children & also teach them the past - so they don't repeat it.
Teach them how to grow this beautiful plant.

Don't judge others for what they use to heal themselves, know plant medicine - KNOW your options- take control of your health & happiness. Alcohol is a depressant. Fact.  I wish more men would smoke cannabis instead of drink - Suicide is higher with men than women...  many men drink themselves to death. FACT.  You can drink so much you can kill yourself.
I have tried to smoke as much as I could and smoked cananbis all day- every 1/2 hour.. I felt great,  accomplished tasks & I'm still here...  the same wouldn't be said for Alcohol.
So with the first magical Snow in Canada - Frosty the Growman comes to life! Of all things for Frosty to find in the middle of a forest - a Green house - it's fate Frosty!  How many are growing this christmas? How many will get cannabis related items under this years LEGAL tree - me  me me!! Ho Ho Ho - Lets Grow!

Enjoy the snow!

With THC & TLC

* Anyone who is expecting mail from me- be patient- the POSTAL strike- still on  ( of course NOW with the Christmas rush) I hope Justin steps in soon and makes them get back to work-  Black mail is all this postal strike has been - again.. at a time when Canadians needed it most - they have let us down & continue to do so - with Holidays packages now & continued cannabis deliveries!  One more reason for Ho Ho HOME grown.
