Writing the Endangered Truth

This blog had an earlier title called the Inflatable Studio and later changed to Inflatable Id Studio.
After some of my posts were removed I remembered an oil painting done by a friend where she got angry at the zoo where she was doing this work of art in front of the public. My friend was painting an endangered species of life and the zoo wanted her to stop. When she found out why the zoo management wanted her to paint something else, she painted the words
PAINTING THE ENDANGERED TRUTH on the top of her fine art. One of the zoo's greatest sponsor was building a strip mall on this species main breeding grounds which could have caused the extinction of this unique life form. The zoo was supposed to be the protector of all life, not the protector of the wealth of all its sponsors. My friend defaced her own artwork to tell the truth.
This blog is named after her moment of truth.

It is so hard to tell truth sometimes. My dad is a professor in Shanghai, China and he once had a colleague threaten him when he didn't let her child graduate from the university because of cheating/failing in almost all his classes. I always look up to people who had such courage to protect what they believe in.
