Sleep walking into the New Year... but The Force is strong with this one. Much love and Happy New Year to all! (Apologies for the droopy eyes.)

Huzzah! A skate skiing bear. Looking forward to doing a bit more of that myself when time allows!

A little holiday break in the post card action, but with today and tomorrow, still five new cards to President Obama to complete the week. Happy Boxing Day and a surly GRRR! for 50 total post cards so far!

A little hard to read I know, but today's card is special in that it also contains a poem by my 12 year old daughter Keeley. Time Somebody Told Me... is terrific (in my humble opinion) and was written as Keeley's own response to our trip to the Arctic. Enjoy if you can see it, and I may post it more clearly at some future date.

Over n' out!

A slight posting delay due to the incompatibility of snowstorms and the internet. Patience is important this time of year :) Happy winter!

Let's face it, as awesomely wild and "face of climate change" as they are, polar bears are also just simply cute! -- especially when they're cubs and till haven't opened their eyes yet - ala the viral video from the Columbus Zoo that's been circulating for the last day or two (Google it!). To wit, my baby polar bear -- as yet unnamed -- and drawn while watching the aforementioned 2 minutes of cuteness at least a time or two this afternoon :) Have a great weekend. More polar bears next week!

My 44th post card for the the 44th President of the United States. With recent actions to stymie tar sands fracking and some vocal support for climate negotiations in Paris (among other things) President Obama is slowly but surely regaining some credibility as a President willing to act on the environment. Imagined here in the portrait pose of President Jimmy Carter - who took great strides on environmental protections in his own right - a presidential polar bear with some grit and determination to get things done in the final year of his second term.

The ski season was officially underway several weeks back, but with a fall marathon finally under my belt I am happy to put away the shoes for a month or two myself :) Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas President Obama! (I really hope - fingers crossed - that all of these post cards are surviving their travels from Winthrop to Washington without too much damage.

A wet wash near water-based sepia inks. I like the soft fades and the loose/unpredictable feel of it.

More student Presidential Polar Bear Post Cards!

More excellent post cards for the President! This time from some friends of mine (and awesome polar bear artists) here in Winthrop!

Once again if others kids/students/classrooms are interested, revisit my first post for an explanation and this later one for a student template and the President's address at the White House :)

I'd love to see anything that you create and add them to the collection! Otherwise, stay tuned for more bears.

GRRR!

OK, this one's weird... but bees and bears are both in need. A snow hive here and some busy bees in fits of arctic exploration. 40 cards to the Presidents far! Send some of your own with the template here!

Inspired by 1950's sci-fi movie posters, we DON'T want our polar bears to become the fodder of science fiction! A collective effort soon solidified at #COP21 #saveourseaice.
