A lonely and frightened polar bear. How did he get into this predicament? And what act of Providence is going to get him out of it?!

Via Flickr:
There's a story in this picture but which one is it?
- Was his home at the Sendai zoo now reduced to wet radioactive rubble?
- Is he the last one… ever?
- How long will his little icy boat last?
He needs to be rescued. He needs some good luck. Can you help him?

Bears Everywhere!

Some recent bear related doodles!

Bye!

Snail on a Bicycle

"Snail on a bicycle"
3-10-11

I just started a book that has something to say about snails that I will recommend to you. The title snagged me and I imagine you'll be intrigued too: "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. In this book, Bailey describes her long convalescence from a mysterious and devastating illness. While spending months bedridden, she observed a small snail that lived on a pot of violets on her night stand.

I had drawn this bicycle a few days ago before starting to read the book. Early this morning I debated whom to put on the bicycle: a fox, a bird, both animals? Maybe a snake? I think the snail is just right, paused on the brink. Just needs someone to give her a little push. She'll thank you later perhaps.
