'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.

It's officially summer... perfect time for a summer vacation - break.
Summer & just over 100 days to cannabis legalization, every time you turn around your reading about it, I have an abundance of material.  I'm going to try to focus on positive when it comes to cannabis art & keep it currently Canadian. I highly recommend the Cooking On High - on netflix. 

I'm tired of Trump.  
Everyday I feel more drawn into the hate that swirls around everything Trump... sucking me down into a spiral of hopelessness for America.  I get very heavy hearted thinking about my american friends (I've met so many over the years, sent so many past cards...  I'm sorry,  frig the last  thing I want to do is add to your misery at the moment,  (I am afraid for you)  I get why I am so pissed off...  I care.  I can't turn on the TV & forget what's happening.  I don't understand how any sane person can support him and all his evil.. he has me fearful for Americans, let alone the rest of the world. What do you do about it?
We are BOMB barded with his antics & lies - daily & hourly.  I am TUNING OUT.

I'm taking a social media break - Todays post on IG will the the last for a few weeks if not longer - we'll see.  I've set up my camera again and am working on some time-lapse art lessons. The one I posted -- sorry BTW, I can't load it onto my computer - if you want to see it it's on my IG account- which is currently private because I like to check out everyone if I can  &  'accept all'.   It's a vid our cat and I was trying out some new gold paint - OMGouache! It makes me tingle with excitement.      https://www.instagram.com/georgia.toons/    so you will be see more of these when I resume. I do know they will help some learn how to paint- as This is how I have learned  & still have much learning to do.

The past 3 weekends I've spent completely  alone, no speaking, no socializing.. painting and peace.   I get up at 5, nap, eat, watch what I want, go to bed when I'm beat and don't argue with anyone but the girls  as they all stare me down while I try to enjoy a bite... or Bird when he goes on a squeaking tangent for attention - a "Bird! Knock it off You little Feathered F*...!"      - He does, I giggle and he swipes a smack at my head in a "fly bye'.  

I feel I don't know how to live with 'others  it seems at this point.
& do feel all I seem to do is make everyone angry, when I try to talk about current events- I'm told  -I'm depressing.  It is depressing.   What are we to do?  I don't believe turning blind eye helps, I can't 'be amused' by the current movie just released.  God has a purpose for me - it is to draw, I know this not because of my cool name ;), & no, I don't literally hear God speak to me, not even on 'drugs'.  I know this because it is what I love to do above all else and seem to do best -it calms my brain & lifts my heart.  I know this because people are  touched when I share my art with them, especially when they do realize I don't want anything in return, I have forgotten who has got what over the past 10 years - the brain thing meant to happen, I can't possibly keep track... all I know is it is when I feel LOVE in my own heart is when I share something special with someone thought my painting, cards, cartoons, crafts.   My art seems to make people 'feel' &  it's NOT all about feeling good.
 A lot of time for Reflection 

The next few weeks posts will be mostly  images   & few words.
I won't be showing my finished art - only hints of what I'm currently working on while trying to avoid  any Trumpinsania Mania.  The next few weeks I'm pulling a 'Monet's Garden -he painted in his own garden,  surely I can find as much in mine.  Everything is NOW on the verge  of blooming and I'm going to paint one canvas every day by the grace of God. Acrylic - all sizes, gouache as well.

I'm pulling a Monet so I don't feel like a Van Gogh  I just want to be Georgia'.
In many ways like Georgia... without the younger man,   It's such a true statement (in the article) - it was o.k. for all those OLD ARTIST men - like Picasso (who raped a 17 year old)
BUT not for Georgia.  Will double standards ever cease to exist?

An awakening from a nap today drew me to one conclusion...
Stay outside & offline as much as possible.
This is what is best right NOW.

I'm going to do what I love to do...  paint.
I'm starting some new editorials too.
It is tiring - words, when I'm confident I can accomplish it with art.

"WE" had the best shopping experience at Walmart (finally, thank God) - with Poppy on the weekend. It restored my faith in Walmart employees (Keswick ones anyhow)  & a new understanding of service dogs  - pint size as they may be..  was very much appreciated. Thank you, made me feel good all the way home- pulling my new 'fancy' lined bundle buggy.. lol  -  Thinking to myself - (head held high')  Go Ahead! Judge us...  (those driving past).  When's the last time you walked anywhere let alone carried your purchases home.  
Thank you Walmart the struggle has been real & now I feel it is over.
We needed that. .. So much so Poppy is posing for a Thank you card.
I shall deliver it on our next adventure.

I'm not even 'opening'  e mail for a few days - unless it's Jim Carey - asking if I want to hang out and paint - in the middle of nowhere.  He is one of two, I currently relate to on Instagram.  Until then.

I am in good hands...   Gods.

Below : I finished the 'privacy screen',  all it needs now is a clear coat and off it goes.
              It gave me an idea for a fun little privacy screen of my own.. stay tooned.

I picked up  a jean shirt yesterday, took one look and thought - THIS needs paint.
What better way to educate that with some fun art- wearable art.  Not sure what to paint- I did what comes Naturally'... cannabis butterflies and even a fox!   & NOW I have a NEW shirt - I love! I can't wait to wear it out- the paint hardly dry before I had it on for these photos.  Why NOT!? Sometimes I forget I can do these things.. lol as I searched for a new shirt on line yesterday to wear to the Lift Expo. hee hee  
Some people will look and see Cannabis right away- others will simply see a fox in the garden!  If asked I will be happy to explain & educate on this plant.

I had so much fun painting this I started a cute pair of jean overalls too. I live in overalls for the summer, perfect for painting & gardening.  Over the years I've painted many clothing items- hats, shoes, shirts, t's... my favourite a white leather jacket with a 'Japanese warrior"  on the back - I still know who has it- I asked for it back because I know they'll never wear it.. nor do they communicate with me  but  the request was ignored. Some People don't want to communicate with you but they keep YOUR ART... speaks volumes.
I hope she reads this and mails it to me. It would be appreciated.

Thankfully I have the talent, desire to create another! I'm going to search for a used leather jacket I like at a secondhand store - there its a great one in Newmarket:
                                     https://www.platosclosetnewmarket.com
                 Especially if I'm only going to paint it- reuse, recycle, re- love.

So- I have decided- would you like a custom painted cannabis shirt?  I will paint  a couple! Different butterflies, creatures.. who knows and will sell them. It is a ONE of a kind wearable art! Be noticed & educate at the same time! If interested send me a e mail - well talk SIZE, butterfly colors, critter suggestions and $PRICE.
* Yesterday I had a "conversation' with someone re the price of my art- let me clarify for altho might be confused:
I do NOT work for FREE.
Yes, I often send people FREE art- that is my choice of whom and what.
I have worked very hard at my craft the last 10 years PLUS.
I charge MORE that minimum wage...  If I spend 5 hours on art - and some people don't even think it's worth minimum wage - my time - THAT is your problem, your confusion... keep moving. I KNOW what my art is worth, if you disagree - don't buy anything - BUT who are YOU to tell me what I should charge for MY work?  The IRONY - I was giving this person  a deal with my price.. after his remarks-  FUCK that, my price just increased by $100. & I hope ALL artists READING this now learn NOW.. I'm tired of  changing my prices- for those who do not know the worth of a piece of art- I know people  who won't spend $100 on art but will have NO problem DRINKING that much at a bar in a couple of hours.  

IF you like the art- pay the artist or don't... but how dare anyone tell you what they think YOUR worth is. IF they do - tell them to keep moving...

I'll also avoid any confusion regarding these shirts- A *NEW (purchase by me)  ONE OF A KIND shirt- your size.. painted on the front with cannabis & butterflies and a critter - will cost you $75.00.
$125 for FRONT and back  cannabis creation!  I'll take a couple  of orders while I feel like it- so you should hurry if you want  it to wear NOW! ;)  Each order will take 3-4 weeks for delivery.  georgiatoons@rogers.com  to order & if you have any questions.
I'm so excited I've got to go finish the overalls!!  Have a creative DAY

Taking a day 'off' for one.

My 3rd eye elephant is awake and ready to explore the universe.
The vine the truck turns into is the  Ayahuasca Plant, which is said to have healing properties, I've read extensively, watched documentaries and have even thought I've found the perfect place where I might be interested in experiencing it of myself...  but alas - I'm not fond of vomiting & apparently it is part of the process, this does not mean I've ruled it out completely I am a firm believer in  "when the time is right.."

I believe these natural substances are here to help.  Some like cannabis - include helping the body with pain, involuntary movement, PTSD and much more, mushrooms  appear to help with issues of the mind sometimes getting to the core of a problem in minutes - where otherwise - other ways have taken years to process & Ayahuasca apparently does the same - it helps heal the mind. Now, I know many who have tired it - just since the past four years it seems to be something more are exploring- not to get HIGH but to HEAL.   

Once you start to learn about these plants your eyes open.  They open before you even experience them- and the first way they open is you start to ask yourself:
Why have we put people in jail for growing & enjoying nature?  
WHO decided what plants God gave us are for us to use and not to use?

Then you try some of these natural medicines- and your eyes open wider when you understand how they work, when you don't die, your brain does not fry', you realize the extent of the lies & control passed on from generations.. & hopefully you become awake & realize how we have hurt each other, other family members, others in society because we have judged them as "hippies & stoners" when they have actually been lovers & healers.  I've yet to read about people who use Ayahuasca who've turned violent ...  
I do not understand why these options are not available yet- proven deadly medications are on the increase still.  I do understand actually - $$$$$$$$$$$ - I do no understand why we allow it to continue.  The sun the moon & the truth..
Until all drugs in Canada become legal we will still be going in the wrong direction.

Open your eyes.

The elephant was painted with love as always the eyes resemble the centre of the actual vine -  they make jewelry from it. The green & background one moment appear bold the next they disappear when you get lost in the detail of this majestic, wise beast.
Someone has expressed interest in it with a couple of other pieces.. I'll sleep on it and then give  my price - if they decline, it will look awesome hanging in the gazebo!

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.

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".

What a morning this has been!!
It's too soon to say anything - but I can hardly contain myself! 
I'm almost too nervous to share.

I took the dogs for a walk this morning- up at 5 - no leashes needed -they are such good girls.  On the walk back - I had a REALIZATION- and the more I realized - I started to CRY- HAPPY tears!  I can't remember the last time - then I came home & shared with Norm- he too - looked at me - realized what I was saying- and his eyes teared up too! 

If  Storm was home I would have ran down and woke him laughing & crying.
It's a NEW FUCKING DAY!  After my walk - my horoscope was delivered and it started:
A sudden emotional lifequake rattles the foundations of your life today.
It is exactly how I feel!

Life is just going to get better from here on out! I know.
​The pool is open.. the gazebo is ready * comfortable.
I'm getting a bed for the guest room! I've invited Joshua Boulet first - he better.
Planning on visiting France to see the caves!  I was thinking maybe I'll ask Josh if he want's to go too - we can draw the world together... or at least the caves in France.
​I've invited an artist friend for a few..  weeeeeeee let the fun begin!

Oh my gosh - I must go paint & CELEBRATE this day! 
If I can stop crying long enough- and giggling.
MORE soon but NOW - I paint! 
Give thanks!

Thank God.

In my home, I Am the Queen Bee, and you should be too.
I painted this little reminder for my zen den.. I actually started it months back- the little Bee on the sunflower  (a gift already off to it's new home) was a push to complete my own bee.
I AM Queen Bee.    She also simply reminds me to 'Be ... as in Here  & Now. 
Small paintings are fun-  hung  where they can be easily overlooked - often catch ones attention.  I'm making a mini gallery wall in my zen den - where I read.

Are you the Queen Bee in your own home?  You should be.
I'm sure you keeping your hive as best as it can be...  

Be the Queen you are Created to Be.
Anyone tries to tell you otherwise.. tell them to buzz off.
