While hundreds of millions around the world have spoken out against whaling, Junichi and Toru are the only two who were imprisoned for working to expose the industry's corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 252,000 people around the world sent messages of support and a quarter of a million people have emailed the Prime Minister, asking for release of the Tokyo Two. And of course Irvine and I were among those who supported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although their release was a success, the issue still remains and there are more problems to deal with.

We bought a choco-strawberry cake with jelly on top, and brought it to their new house. It was njamie.. but too bad she's too young to eat it. But her mom let her taste the icing and jelly, she cried coz she wants more! I wanted to give her my slice but they said her tummy will ache if she ate plenty. Poor Drisha, can't even eat her own birthday cake...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I said I will make a cake for her. And even if everyone else ate the real one, she can still have my slice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is for you baby Drisha.

After finishing, my mom asked me what shall we call it. I said "Auntie Pink". She seemed to not know what the drawing meant, but she smiled and saved it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two days before I made this drawing, I went to my Aunt Chie's office and met her colleagues. (Aunt Chie is my mom's sister, btw) One of them called herself &lt;i&gt;Pink&lt;/i&gt;. Maybe because my name is &lt;i&gt;Blue&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some weeks, news came that she was brought to the hospital. She was found unconscious in her house. I'm not familiar with what sickness she had, but after a major operation, she was ok. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom remembered my drawing when the news came. She said it brought her the shivers. Maybe its a premonition. tssk..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But she is better now, back to work, and I still do not know her real name.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19479213-113761211641674597?l=bluediamondsky.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/2006/01/eeeemergency.html' title='eeeemergency!!!!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/feeds/113761211641674597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19479213&amp;postID=113761211641674597&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19479213/posts/default/113761211641674597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19479213/posts/default/113761211641674597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/2006/01/eeeemergency.html' title='eeeemergency!!!!'/><author><name>atomicvelvetsigh</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/velvetzki/picks/picasso.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19479213.post-113719415301324954</id><published>2006-01-13T11:11:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-01-13T11:24:01.610-12:00</updated><title type='text'>E is for...</title><content type='html'>enamel paint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah i know, i did not make this from real enamel paint. &lt;br /&gt;but don't touch it yet, it's till wet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/9/86206412_44c3121b61_o.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/9/86206412_44c3121b61_o.jpg" width="80%"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Drying Paint" © &lt;b&gt;Irvine&lt;/b&gt;, March 29, 2005&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19479213-113719415301324954?l=bluediamondsky.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/2006/01/e-is-for.html' title='E is for...'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/feeds/113719415301324954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19479213&amp;postID=113719415301324954&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19479213/posts/default/113719415301324954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19479213/posts/default/113719415301324954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bluediamondsky.blogspot.com/2006/01/e-is-for.html' title='E is for...'/><author><name>atomicvelvetsigh</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/velvetzki/picks/picasso.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19479213.post-113659103615664802</id><published>2006-01-06T11:37:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-01-06T11:50:03.876-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Illustration Friday: Sea</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/42/83122882_5d9cc6848a_o.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/42/83122882_5d9cc6848a_o.jpg" width="80%"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Island City" © &lt;b&gt;Irvine&lt;/b&gt;, September 20, 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am fond of looking at maps.

Strange how this came out of his random doodles. I dunno if he thinks about something first before drawing it, or the name just comes after looking at the result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I don't know if anybody would believe me that My Irvine, only 4 years old, drew this!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I saw this, I was surprised at how familiar it looked, and how the image was so fitted abstractly quaint. So I searched for different paintings of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_and_Child_%28Duccio%29" target="_blank"&gt;Madonna and Child&lt;/a&gt;. And it didn't take long to find the version of &lt;b&gt;Duccio di Buoninsegna&lt;/b&gt; (circa 1300) painted in tempera and gold on wood panel. Which bears similar features. &lt;i&gt;Or maybe it was just in my head&lt;/i&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Ducciomadonna.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/babyirvine/illo/Duccio_madonna.jpg" width="50%" title="Duccio's Madonna and Child"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;Happy Holidays!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;note: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Irvine is still feverish, and having dry coughs.
