Little Profiles Adrenaline Junkie

awwwwwwww a blowfish love those things lol

So far now, this is my very favorite!!!

Hey I painted one of these critters! Your version is much more fun!
You’re obviously on a roll here Karin! Keep on rollin’ hon! XHX

I love it. So imaginative.

It is such a onomatopoeic one. I mean it is exactly an a.j..

puffer fish… I guess their bladders are a delicacy in Japan. Maybe not a delicacy but very hip to eat if you can trust the butcher of the fish… I heard if the chef slips while slicing the gland, the dish would kill the diner. Oh gosh, now that I have written this I better make certain it is true!!!

“Some species of pufferfish carry the poison tetrodotoxin (named after Tetraodontiformes). This poison can be contained in practically every bit of the fish, intestines to skin-yet, oddly, usually not in the epidermis. The ovaries are the most poisonous part. This is perhaps so that females, the bearers of young, are most strongly protected. It is worth noting that the same poison is used by the blue-ringed octopus, the most deadly octopus in the world. This little octopus is sick (by which I mean spine-tinglingly creepily scary): the rings on its body only appear right before it attacks. This is a trait related to other octopi; most can display their feelings by changing colour. In any case, the point is, the poison is a neurotoxin that blinds you within seconds and suffocates you in less than five minutes. Thus, it should come as a bit of a disturbance that the pufferfish is a Japanese and Korean delicacy. The parts most commonly eaten are those most likely to have poison. Sushi made from the flesh of fugu kills 70-100 people per year, yet they keep on eatin’ it! It costs more than $100 for a single puffer meal (“fugu” in Japanese), and can cost even $400 for foreigners. Many restaurants produce fugu dishes exclusively. When properly prepared, the fish is calming and almost narcotic.
It is illegal for anyone but specially trained chefs to prepare the fish. These chefs must pass a difficult (think Asia) exam, and then eat a pufferfish they have prepared. Only 25% of takers pass.

Think about that for a moment.”

they are so cute… but oh so deadly.

the quote above came from Helium link

love it and her realisation that it is no way to live. I wrote a piece Chameleon me… which kinda sums it up for me. Love your art. x

Hmmm i believe Phoebe & i are well aquainted!!!
Although i’m a little worried about this cutie… You haven’t told us what Phoebe’s going to do… if she’s not going to live on adrenaline… then what?
Xxx
