~ Proceed with caution my friends, nudity is to be found in this post ~
Okay, I would like to ask you to gain your concentration and stay focused on this post. Try not to wander away with your mind...(and stare at e.g. nude things like boobies...)
Many of you may know that October is the month of Breast Cancer, symbolized by the pink ribbon. My lovely friend, Ms. Claire, illustrated how to do a breast exam two years back and these illustration got the attention from several awareness projects. Now how cool is that!
Personally, I think it's really awesome that she uses her creative skills to create fun & color illustrations. Most of the exams you find online are pretty straight forward and well I find them quite formal and serious (may I say...boring?). Most things in life are already way too serious, what harm can you do if you add a touch of color & humor to it? It is so important to be aware of your own health and act preventive. The exams don't require money nor a visit to the doctor, plus you can do them at the comfort of your own home! What more can you ask?
Getting curious now aren't you?! Well click on the link below and you shall magically get transported to her wonderful site where you can see the illustrations and read more about her intentions with it, because she won't stop at the breast exam alone...

Great work! ^_^ That's awesome you collaborated on work for an important cause! Around my area, I have friends who run in races to raise money for breast cancer research. Always spreading the word is great! But more importantly it's great that you and Ms. Claire are making it fun with illustrations! Awesome too you are having it different languages!

Hi TJ,
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was so poor that she had to work in a tobacco fabric to be able to look after her children in 1940s. Then she raised her children and they became doctors and she got breast cancer. Her children (my uncles) made everything to save her life, they took her two breasts after several operations. But her cancer had spread other organs. They started a heavy chemotherapy then she lost her basic abilities. She died almost 15 years ago. One of my uncle has retired early after her loss. Thanks for taking attention to breast cancer.
Look at you two girly doodlers!!
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic is this?
Smiles and blessings.
I knew eventually you'd get around to drawing boobies! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for your post and doodles - We can all do more for breast cancer
ReplyDeleteNice efforts to raise concerns about a serious issue. Nice collaborative effort. Well-done.
