Danger Cat

A couple of years ago, I took this picture of my friend's cat:


My friend's sister surprised her by having the photo turned into a painting:


The photo was taken to Nepal, where three different versions of it were painted on metal by Nepalese artists.  My friend's sister then got to choose her favorite one.  The commissions were arranged by Danger Dogs from Nepal, an American art dealer who practices fair trade and "micro-finance through art patronage."  How cool is that?
