Vaccine awareness...

7/1/2021

The vaccine will keep us  alive!      Hurry. LINE UP!!  Phhhhbt.  Hmmmm.. will it? 
What about those side effects.. in 3 years.  Will the vaccine change  by then for the evolving pandemic - probably.  

How many vaccines will we put into our bodies before we can't handle anymore? 


There is no vaccine for all those who will suffer from job loss, shut downs, poverty & hunger, domestic abuse.. loneliness - a shot in the arm won't help any of these situations.  
Statement heard on a CBC podcast 'IDEAS' not my origianl idea regarding on how to address the pandemic.

AS our Canadian politicians WARN & put the fear of GOD in us “WEAR A MASK!! STAY HOME!!” Then travel to tropical islands  and LIE about it by posting illusions on Instagram - sneaky fucker. Has there ever been such hypocrisy for all to SEE?   In my opinion it should end up in an automatic loss of ‘entitlement’ to the POLITICIANS who pretend to support & represent ALL Canadians.. from the beaches of another country - during a global pandemic. Clearly they can’t resist the CHEAP travel deals.. worth the cost of covid.

No wonder we don’t trust what politicians tell us anymore as Walmart Costco & Amazon thrive… Doug Ford, just another  ‘leader of the pack’ it appears but they all push the ‘miracle vaccine!’…     It seems a little ‘too good to be true’…   does it not?

In the states.. some are olny getting 1/2 the vaccine now,  you know - the same vaccine that states we need to have 2 doses for it to work.   What is it? One or two?  Will the new vaccine work for the new Covid strains? Hmmm I can't find a POSITIVE response anywhere - it MIGHT. & if you have the vaccine - you should isolate still for 2 weeks- -it could take that long. but if you have covid- no point. FUCKED up confusion on a global scale. I'll wait.

The days are getting longer… more daylight to paint!
You were created to create- go create something.   
​
Next- these two (below) - a source of constant amusement, thank God.

Spinning Grinch.  Spinning out of control

10/12/2020

Spinning Christmas card.. I thought this was a cute idea a Spinning Grinch chillin' - I didn't know how it would turn out but I like the idea and might create another - cannabis free. 
I made it to print if interested.. if you do,  I'd recommend printing it on card stock.
I wanted it to say: Ho Ho but it seems to say OH OH - which better describes 2020 anyhow
 LOL  -so I'll leave it.


Spinning out of control is depression.  I read Japan had more suicides in the last month than all covid deaths so far. Suicide in  children has risen as has teen and adults and we are not talking about it - because… we don't want to depress anyone.  

Norm doesn't think he gets “depressed” he is effected by the light change in particular I noticed, more than most, complaining it’s ‘too dark’, he’s tired, no energy… this is Canadian winter just started in a pandemic - during second wave. 
He gets grumpy and motivating turns to nagging (in his mind) which causes some arguing.  Expected. Expect it. The things we argue about we have been for 30 years..  they are shorter and forgotten faster. Amen.  I chalk it up to the pandemic. We fight about him not eating properly and being tired which can lead to carelessness & accidents - no one wants to go to the hospital if they can avoid it. Yes, he does experience depression like us all, it does not seem to last long though - I attribute it to being busy.
I’m trying to chalk up lot’s to the pandemic..  I’m trying to keep focused so that I don’t get down,  keeping calmly creating. Today is much better than the past 2...   I’m trying to have the perspective that this forced isolation is a time to focus on our inner worlds.

I know countless people who will say they are not depressed… who obviously are.  Perhaps the mixed message about being sick when depressed, sick and sad are very different -if more people admitted they were sad I think less would get sick.  
Are you feeling sad & tired, then I know not much I say will help so let me just say:

Try to nap, be nice to yourself,  read, listen to some classical music (romantic classical) create a card for someone, ponder God. 


       It takes great learning to understand that all things,
        events, encounters and circumstances are helpful.

                                                                                                  ~ACIM

Happy Hippo - not quite.

8/12/2020

It's Tuesday - mental health week- and I woke tired and teary - perfect.
Am I feeling depressed, yes.  
Let me tell you what runs through my mind - Until I force it to stop:

Why am I painting? ...does anyone care,  if I stopped would anyone even notice.
What is the fucking point to all of this?  It's all just STUFF.
No one even likes my art  (except maybe Ez).  
How much do you expect me to deal with Lord?   I feel I've had enough.
Go back to bed.      Go back to bed.   Fuck it- back to bed.
& that is what I did.
Back to bed- cried myselft to sleep for an hour.  Norm is working - perfect- I don't like him to see me cry, I know it makes him sad too. The dogs, chickens and goats demand attention  up and at it... but I still don't feel like painting  or feel loved.  
Thank God for DOGS.  My dogs love & would miss me - that I am sure of.
 
If I did not have dogs, goats & chickens I think I'd go and stay in bed today, tomorrow too...
AND THAT is the slippery slope of depression, once it gets you in it's grasp - it does not take much to wrap around and hold you for a while. No matter who you are or what you have.
I'll never get past these feelings,  I understand why.  
If you don't understand why I'm 'like this' - it's your problem - not mine.
and it is a problem. 

So..  tired, depressed, not feeling very hopeful today - I still managed to get this Hippo done. I  know it seems like a joke to some, a paper hippo - but it's a big deal to me.. A big accomplishemt considering how I'm feeling.  
​I still want to believe some kid will print this puppet and it will make them happy - it's that fucking simple!

AT LEAST I TRY.   Before You judge me or anyone else today - ASK YOURSELF:
WHAT have you done to TRY to make this a better place today?  What?

Feeling depressed?  I dare you to make this hippo and play with it- he really is kinda cute.
I made a black & white - for those who wish to colour their own and a full colour - which I printed and made - it turned out better than I thought. 

If you wanted a Hippopotamus for Christmas - you're welcome.

Mental Health Monday

7/12/2020

I'd like to start this mental health week on a positive note with a positive suggestion:
Go into this winter (lockdown) with the mind of a caterpillar & in the spring prepare to emerg & transfigure into 2021  stronger, healthier & wiser. Why not!?
How can anyone not be wiser after all this.  I'd like to share a couple suggestions of what I KNOW works for me - it can't hurt.. yes, I've had experience with depression before a pandemic - 202o was one of our happiest years. So here goes, a few pointers to prevent depression spiraling out of control.

-Have Faith.  I can't express it enough... To have faith is everything - to have Faith is to have faith in me.  Have Faith we will continue through this.

-If you are struggling with thoughts of giving up, be brave and ask to speak to someone.
I had/have 2 Dr.s  who speak & listen... explain.  God  sent my Dr.s, I know it now.  
"I promise you Georgia, it will get better... soon you will meet someone & have your own family.."   said my Dr. sitting in his office (after hours) as he stitched me up for  'cutting', a little too deep 'that time' & I was too embarrassed to go to the hospital.  I cut my arms , thighs, abdomen with a razore blade for years... my mother never seemed to notice,  I found out later, she informed others I did it because "I was fucked up"... I sure was.  I cut because I did NOT know how to deal with the depression, I cut to hurt myself because I felt I was not wanted. I cut because I was the only one I could control.  I cut becuase it felt better to hurt myself than others. I am reminded by scars physical & mental.  
Find someone to talk to - if you can't find someone - there's ALWAYS Jesus.  

-Do not drink alcohol. So much abuse could be avoided without alcohol.  All you have to do is 'pass on the alcohol.  Because, I was raised in a 'alcohol home there are times during this pandemic - I've condiered getting drunk to forget it all, if only for a few hours. Yikes.  Not a good time to get drunk and wallow - it's easy to be swallowed by depression with all currently happening. Don't do it.. it only dulls the feelings, nothing goes away.
​After excessive alcohol, problems are usually worse as well as feeling hung over.  
I treat myself to LUCs brew in a wine glass- LOVE the blueberry Basil,  not only is it tasty, refreshing- it's good for me. Alcohol Free.   It's your choice.

Read. Craft.. learn to speak a new language...  I learned to speak Goat - just as Nugget.
Why not- NOW is the time to dream & transform - ready to spread our wings & FLY when...  we can.

With THC & TLC

Hairless kitty..

23/11/2020

Hairless kitties fuck with your mind.  As I painted this kitty - I kept (naturally) wanting to brush fur or 'a' whisker even.. I had to focus and remember this is a genetic hairless kitty and was not easy to paint.  The wrinkles adorable tho.  I guess this is what cats look like without fur.

Mental Health Monday - Many will be feeling EVEN more stressed today with the current information: The Military will be deployed to vaccinate us all. 
The military will be administering the vaccine...   sounds a little 'Handmaidenish' don't you think?  Ironically, I did have a friend tell me this months ago.. I brushed it off with little thought, not now.  Is anyone else slightly concerned? Will it  be mandatory - that would cause a bit of chaos imo - no.. it won't be mandatory but good luck traveling, shopping or if you have to go to the hospital - you'll get it or you won't be able to play'.  

Here we go... I don't even know what to think today.. editorials are spilling out my ears.

About the 'vaccine'... about side effects.  Are we playing with covid cures?  Swatting at things in the air- it appears so.. a government who can't seems to get on the same page with rules and regulations are leading me to believe  they have in fact- known this was the direction INDEED that this was all GOING to go.
  Not being an essential worker, I  have the luxury of time & reading & I'll tell you there is very conflicting, interesting information circluating right now... worlddoctorsalliance.com some very intelligent people are speaking up about the current situation and motive behind it-  have a read.. THINK for yourself- what do you think? 

I've had several reactions over my life time with medication - once almost killed me - luckily I was in the hospital when it happened., my friend Kat happened to be visiting me and noticed I started slurring & my tongue  (should be spelled TUNG)  started to swell and I started to pass out - the nurses came running  with a shot' to counter act  the previous medication and here I sit. 

Another occasion the medication I was given made me feel like ripping my skin off,  itchy - from the inside out - I was off it in 2 days.  I often vomit when taking  pills -they don't sit well in my stomach & opitaes really mess me up leaving me  feel lathargic, uncoordinated, sick and constipated - nope, LET FOOD BE they medicine & even that is natural, my medicine.  NO - I don't want to be first in line for this vaccine. 
​Side effects.. can linger and not show for years.
Will the cure - be the cure or  a future curse?  
Try not to stress about this.. read & become more educated and better prepared.
​
 Hairless kittys are not for me but it was pleasurable to paint!

...Not one fuck.

Some days - you just need to sit back and give.. not one fuck.
Not about anything or anyone.. chances are, the world & those we care about will still be there when you return from a small break

Justin Trudeau gave us his new opinion and it sucks... I remember not celebrating Thanksgiving - in hopes we might celebrate Christmas.  The 'holiday' now comes with an entirly new level of not needed stress - for too many.
Others lives are more importnt to me than a holiday so...  I'll go with the flow.

I'm sure you are aware of disbelievers.. well, there are days I tell you I don't know what to fucking think about any of this- the vaccine is disturbing, in the past- they took MUCH longer to test before giving it frankly.  I'm in no hurry to get it.   If you research and watch - there are many VERY educated people questioning all of this and the lock downs.  Yes, it is confusing - the government can't seem to get their shit together and get on the same page - no wonder poeple are becoming impatient and tired - covid exhasuted.

RIGHT NOW - I will wear a mask- NOT because the goverment insists, because I care about you - strangers.. I don't want to make you sick.  I I don't know enough to take a chance.  Do you?  It's that simple.  I do believe masks work to some degree.  Just say - this is all a giant hoax (I don't feel it is)  but just say it is... either way- I would rather be known as a "sheep" (far from)  for wearing a mask than someone who refuses to wear a mask and takes a 'CHANCE' in making others sick.  I'm not concerned about dying - fyi  - I  just don't want to get sick'... do you?   

I already live with chronic pain from Arthritis & the the fucking constant TN that wakes me up most days before the rooster and fucks with me ALL DAY LONG.
Right now - nope, I cant do it.. not one fuck will be given about covid, masks, Trump or vaccines.

I am trying to shop LOCAL - my neighbours need the help - everyone should be doing the same, suport your local community so they are still there after this pandemic.  
I decided to buy  ALL Canadian  made this Christmas and homemade'  & I'll be painting & not giving one fuck... until, maybe Monday.

The beat goes on...

The beat goes on...  as does life - even during a pandemic.It’s been a busy few days.. Norm put up the display at Canoe FM & it’s well received!  We are very happy Bumble & friends are making others SMILE this holiday season.  It’s nice to ‘hear each announcer  express their ‘Glee’.

While he set up the display - my cocks got into a fight!  IT was brutal… not something I ever want to witness again- they fought right out of the pen!  I knew those chickens could get out if they wanted.. they’ve not wanted to, obviously.  When Norm arrived home- Foghorn went running to him- it was sweet- but Gloria was chased by Daisy into the forest   She did come back once BUT Daisy saw her before us & the chase was on again. We have tried for 2 days to get him back.  I can hear him in the morning calling.. I know he made it back once…  I’m hopeful.  Chasing chicken in the woods, cause we have noting else to do -  ha… lol 

I’ve painted my newest set of birdhouses- these ARE bird houses!  I am tempted to keep them all…  it’s quite fun creating these custom bird houses= I think I’ve already got an idea for he next set. I’ve decided to only make 8 of each - one goes to me -so if you want one in particular you better get it before it’s gone, I won’t be re creating the same pattern twice. I'll show you them next!

Animal on the psilocybin drums.. the beat goes on!  Do something that makes you feel good!  Lord knows the news is OVERWHELMING -   keep yourself creative so you don’t get feeling like it’s too much… if there’s another lockdown - do you have something to keep yu busy are you prepared?

Winter is here! What outdoor activities can you do this year?  I might train my goat to pull a toboggan - hee hee hee.  Goats like to work actually, they love to be social.  For now - I’ll walk in the woods - still  searching for Gloria the nasty girl who likes to fight! When we get him back he will go into the chicken jail until he behaves.  Maybe after his adventure he will behave nicer to his fellow feathered family.

The beat goes on…  grab your sticks!

Yukon Cornelius struck GOLD! Gadzooks!!
Gadzooks!!!  Yukon Cornelius struck Gold! Canadian GREEN Gold that is. hahaha
MY mind is in Christmas! & enjoying it!!

I was sent several messages -  from Americans telling me they liked my cartoon yesterday!
Americans like my Trump editorial - I'm doing soemthing right. LOL I bet several did NOT like it. WE are not here to be liked but to serve (as best as we know how).   Wonderful. 
It's mental health Monday - so as an artist on social media - I've learned it's nice when others like my cartoons but just as many can discourage and actualy take the time to dislike. I must alwasy rememeber 'who I am pleasing.  
The universe.. I hope to make smile.
Me... using my gift makes me happy, keeps me in a joyful state of mind.
God... by the grace of God - here I enjoy painting & exploring the woods.
 
Norm's out setting up the display, in the front yard for the bears to enjoy. lol
Actually... Bumble & friends are getting a tune up because they are off (the property) to spread JOY for the Christmas season - where LOTS will see them! YAY!
I know how many children smile at this display - it grows my heart - just like the Grinch!  
Thinking  happy stuff KEEPS me in a happy mood.

Yukon Cornelius is part of the pack and he made me think of this.. hee hee
He 'licks his pick' when he strikes gold - in case you did not know.
He made me laugh out loud when finished - I bet a few Rudolph fans will giggle.
I listened to  Joe Rogan & Jason Peterson interview and Jason Peterson said (more or less) life should be difficult- thinkng it should be all fun and games  - how does anyone truly learn or feel ACCOMPLISHMENT or challenge themselves to be better - every day.
WE don't when we think life should be handed to us or sit around trying to figure out get rich quick games.
Work.  

Chop wood  & carry water.
Norm chops the wood & the Goats are learning how to carry packs.
hahah I crack myself up. 
More on Bumble tomorrow! & Bumble art.

Blue Moon Monday

Blue moon... I was blue too.
Halloween, I did not wish to promote. 
I did create art .. I'll save it for next year
I'm actually testing out new paper!  Getting my usual black paper was a hastle..
NOW  available in a pad form (thank you Universe)  I love it &
I've been extra busy - playing with it.

Mental health Monday - blue Monday.
I don't know about you but I am physically tired and mentaly zapped. Punn intended.
There is too much going on at the moment - hard to believe that some are more worried about the POS than the Pandemic. Or rather - the mayhem expect to  ensue after the VOTE.
Another lockdown is  imminent because the Government... no, because WE (HUMANS) can't get our shit together and stay home for 3 weeks. Or wear masks when out in public.
Add  the time change and tell my pup that 4 am is too early to go out to pee.
Yup, I'm pooped.  I know I am not alone.
Many are way more tired than I am - like essential workers.  
Thank you.

The snow is beautiful -  it brings a blanket of calm and cold, perfect for napping.
It's more important to my own mental health to slow down like winter sometimes demands.
I hope you (whom ever you be) are taking time to rest - it is essential - more than your work.
It's work to stay focused and not allow depression to consume.  
I've got a painting on the easel, one on my desk and sketch pad on the coffee table & 4 blank bird houses on my kitchen table... it is essential WE all work - even if we are staying at home all day- see it as an opportunity to become better. Mom's see it as more work  I've been reading. 

At anything... that's the best advice for mental health IMO - learn a new  hobby that you enjoy.  The rest will do itself.
Alcohol consumption (drug in general is ) UP.. I know myself - have felt like a glass of wine more often than usual - so I've decided NOT to have any.  it is an educated choice I am making- alcohol is a depressant.  Alcohol is addictive - very.  
Seek help if drinking is a problem as I can guarantee you, it is a problem for others around you too.  Don't choose to make this  pandemic experience worse with alcohol. 
Smoke 'a' joint..  if you can nap and then  get creative.
I hope I get energy to get creative in the kitchen- some cookies are calling!

I am focusing on editorials,  it's how my own mind ' vents'  and then...  I smile.
On my mind - Ho Ho Holidays.  Lot's of material this year- go Figure.
Stay tooned.

A mental health Monday - editorial.
Canadians can help put their mental health to rest, with MAID.
I have researched M.A.I.D. & am grateful for the service.
​
I decided to draw a logo for M.A.I.D...   they did not ask.
I think it would lighten the mood a bit.  
I read business is 'booming' due to covid. (Sorry Boomers)
Maid, cleaning house like a BOSS..
In control.

I AM all for M.A.I.D.
