Hi! Many thanks to Art and Stories For Children for featuring my “Whale Of A Time” painting :D Below is the quote that inspired this painting: ” 20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

I just read this article on care2.com and was shocked! I felt compelled to share this with you, so here it is! The Surprising Poisons in Our Pets I worry about exposure to mercury and fire retardants for myself and my children. My cats and dogs? Never really thought about it, have you? The alarming truth is that our pets are not immune to environmental toxins–in fact, they are showing levels of toxins much higher than those found in people. The Environmental Working Group recently undertook a study to investigate the extent of exposures pets face to contaminants in our homes and outdoor environments. The results are absolutely staggering. Are you sitting? The study showed that the blood and urine samples of dogs and cats were contaminated with 48 of 70 industrial chemicals tested, including 43 chemicals at levels higher than those typically found in people. The study included plastics and food packaging chemicals, heavy metals, fire retardants, and stain-proofing chemicals. The heartbreaking results showed that average levels of many chemicals were actually even much higher in pets than is typical for people. Levels of stain- and grease-proof coatings (perfluorochemicals–these are from the Teflon family) in dogs were 2.4 times higher than in people, cats had 23 times more fire retardants (PBDEs) and more than 5 times the amounts of mercury, compared to what has been found in people in national studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Working Group. Dogs were found to be contaminated with 35 chemicals altogether, including 11 carcinogens, 31 chemicals toxic to the reproductive system, and 24 neurotoxins. The carcinogens are seriously worrisome; dogs have much higher rates of cancer than people do, including 35 times more skin cancer, four times more breast tumors, eight times more bone cancer, and twice the incidence of leukemia, according to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Center. It is estimated that between 20 and 25 percent of dogs die of cancer, making it the second leading cause of death in dogs. I’d say the pieces of the puzzle are quickly falling into place. The cats in the study showed elevated levels of 46 chemicals altogether, including 9 carcinogens, 40 chemicals toxic to the reproductive system, 34 neurotoxins, and 15 chemicals toxic to the endocrine system. According to the report, endocrine system toxins (those that affect hormones) raise particular concerns for cats, since they include the thyroid toxins and fire retardants called PBDEs. Thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism) is a leading cause of illness in older cats. The use of PBDEs in consumer products over the past 30 years has grown neck and neck with the rising cases of feline hyperthyroidism–one preliminary study suggests that PBDEs are found at higher levels in cats stricken with this disease. How in the world is this happening?! See “Detailed Findings” in High Levels of Toxic Industrial Chemicals Contaminate Cats And Dogs. But the gist of it is this: Animals are exposed to chemicals in our stain-proof, fire-retardant furniture and carpets, their food (coating in fry food bags, can lining, mercury in seafood), their bedding (stain proof, off gassing), and any other number of consumer products. Meanwhile, phthalates are reaching them through pet toys, pet shampoos, and many pet medications. As well, pets pick up contaminated dust from outdoor and indoor pollution–and then, particularly cats, meticulously groom themselves–ingesting all of those toxins. I wish I could say that the news isn’t as disheartening as it is. Actually, it seems to me a dire warning–our cats and dogs are becoming our canaries in the coal mine. There are some steps you can take to protect your pet, here is a good summary of tips from Pets for the Environment that will make your pet, as well as your home in general, safer and less toxic.

I just returned from visiting my parents in Singapore less than 48 hours ago….and so happy I made 3 sales during that period :D Before I boarded the plane, I thought of just checking my emails….and to my surprise, I found I sold a card of Paint The World A Better Place to JakkiO . Thank you once again, Jak!! Very happy to know it spoke to you and I hope this piece will give you some fresh inspiration in your life!

A work in progress, the Bunny Bot is my first attempt at Vector Style Art. I have hand styled a figure from one of my photos taken at the Tokyo Anime Fair 2008. She is definitely a labour of love and I thought I would never finish her, but here she is. I am not sure if she is an actual anime character or where she originates from. I would greatly appreciate any help to credit her creators and origins. I have not made her available for sale as a print yet as I am stuck on ideas for a suitable background/ home for her to appear in. If she inspires ideas please share. Robo Bunny Bot is available as a T-shirt print. I thought she could easily stand alone in this format.

It has been quite a crazy week here in Bangkok. I’m sure some of you may have heard or read about the crisis that we are facing here. The international airport here in Bangkok was sieged by the anti-government protesters(more than 50,000 of them I think)...about 5 days ago. The airport had to be shut down and many tourists are unable to fly back, there’s no news as to when the airport will be reopened. The anti-government protesters issued an ultimatum,theywould not leave the airport unless the current Prime MInister resigns. It seems that the Prime Minister has no plans to do so. As such, one of the trapped tourist is my Singaporean friend. Poor guy, he has to travel all the way to another province to catch the flight back to Singapore. We also have a fellow bubbler, Kim who is now holidaying in Bangkok and I doubt she would be able to fly back from Bangkok tomorrow. I met her for lunch yesterday and we had a great time together! Kim is such an upbeat lady, full of ideas and enthusiasm for art and life! I find her enthusiasm very contagious indeed! She gave me some of her art pieces that are made into very cute luggage tags, I will take some photos and show you the next time :D In the midst of these craziness, I’m pleased to be able to share some good news :D Many thanks to DanceswithCats for purchasing a card of Wild Thoughts Do view her cute and delightful portfolio of her furry friends, you will love it!! :D This was my very first upload here on RB, it has the least viewings and comments so far. I’m really glad Phoebe has found another home that will love and cherish her :D Many thanks to Anita for purchasing this card of The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come! :D May Ophelia always make you smile ^ _ ^ Make sure you stop by her gallery and be awe-ed by her portfolio of pen and ink art!! I also want to thank the hosts of Painted Birds for featuring Love Meditations I had a very exciting week over at zazzle, I made a record of 110 sales this week :D Thanks to my ex-company who ordered 100 mugs for their associates(my ex-colleagues)! I have left the company for 17 months already, it’s really very sweet of them to consider purchasing those gifts from me, my heart just overflowed with so much thanksgiving! :D They ordered various designs, here’s some: Here’s thanking Anita again for her support and purchase of these magnets ^ _ ^ Am also very thankful that I sold the following items :D Thanks to Zazzle’s 40% calendar promotion, that helped :D This promo will be on till 15th December.

Pretty stoked. I found an artist that wants to collaborate with me for a possible one-time graphic novel based on Meat, Friend and then if that goes well, we’ll be setting up a series to try and have published at a later date. The art will be more along the horror/macabre Vasquez style for the most part, to give you an idea of what she’s capable of. Also I’m trying to get her involved with redbubble because her paintings (which are really 3D sculptures on canvas) are bad freaking ass. Anyway, if she gets up and running on here, I’ll be sure to let everyone know ^^ Thanks for tuning in and you’ll hear from me here and there! Tata! / Fadere
