I, the original Artist-Rat, Tony Blair, shared a house with Gordon Brown and 'Shy Boy' Archangel Gabriel. Sadly, I caught a cold in 2009 and that was the end of me; and Gordon and Archangel followed. Romula and Rema - lovely twin sisters - took over the Artist Rat house and blog, but now they too have come to join me in the little cemetery under the Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' tree.

A new experience
Today there was more goading here and there. I was given my yoghurt on Helena's leg this morning. What was that about? I had to repeatedly run along her shin to get to it. Wierd.
Hello Tony I've just learned of you from CNN.com. I think you are awesome. I have 4 pet rats that I'm just in love with. You guys make better pets than dogs! Keep up the art work! RachelA
Tony, I admire your work. I only wish that my human woman would figure out a way to make that much money on the things that I destroy, like couches, and other furniture.
Tony unlike your namesake ..who was more of a poodle anyway..I'm surprised to find that I love your work...very incisive critique of ....well everything...ur new installation is intriqueing..Keep ganwing away at it....
Tony, We love your work and so does our human companion. Well, Maria our human also happens to be an artist and is working on a series of religious card paintings of rats which we model for. We also have a rat rescue which is becoming very well known. Please check us out at ratchickratrescueandadvocacygroup.com. Thanks, Buddy,Jimmy,Horris Pippin and Wilber
You have a promise career and i wish you very good lucky in this achievement.You could visit too Rio de Janeiro/ Brazil where there are many others rats that should learn your ability as well. Good luck and i eager to see your next work.
Hello Tony I also saw your story on CNN.com and I think you are fab! You're artwork is purrrrrfect :) I would love to try delving into art myself: I've been experimenting with water by dipping my foot into my dish all the time and spilling my water. It makes really interesting patterns on the floor but it's hard to study them because my human owners wipe up my water creations, I can't figure out why they constantly take them away, humans are a mystery to me. I think one of my mates Mulder is planning to compete with me because he recently started staring into one of our metal water dishes everyday, and he sits there forever staring into the dish: I know he's planning something to try to outdo me ;) I meow and chirp at him to try to get him to tell me what he's planning, but he just stares at me or swats at me. Even though he's older than me he's rather childish so I'm not intimidated by him. Good luck Tony with your installation and all your future new endeavors, and thank you for inspiring me!

Hi Tony,
You are fabulous.
You should visit NYC, there is a massive rat community here, as well as a massive art community.
And hey- a lot of the artists also have rats!

Mister Tony,
I am glad that our art is finally being recognized. Your woman-friend is a special lady.
Sincerely,
