Artist's Comments

This peice was made for the *childrensillustrator club on the subject of polar bears.

They are amazing creatures, the largest of land carnivores. Their species is under threat due to global warming. Their hunting grounds are disappearing under the water and, despite being strong swimmers, 4 polar bears were found drowned last year.

This piece is on raw linen canvas, so that the natural fibre colour shows through. The polar bears are sown on to the canvas by hand and the details added. 20x60cm

Sold

Lovely :) you should take a photo from a bit further back to show how it looks on a wall, you could put it in your scraps or something.

you should do more like this and it'd be good to go even more sparse... a bigger canvas with smaller stuff..to make people snoop over closer to it to see what's going on :D

When Dante stole my heart it was flat out thievery.

I asked for it back but he told me he sold it to a homeless person for some smokes :(

Sad face, Dante, sad face. :(
