"Nature is my friend" is a wonderful blog by artist Jessica Gowling. It's fast becoming a favourite stop as I love reading about printing processes and viewing great work and Jessica combines both really well in her posts. This week Jessica made a call out on Twitter for Bear themed submissions and many artists responded!
Here's what I submitted
Sun Bears are my favourite of all bears. They’re found it various parts of South East Asia and spend much time in trees. Numbers are declining due to horrendous actions such as poaching them for fur and bile (the bile is for medicine despite there being a synthetic substitute).
Panda’s are of course well known. There is no question that they are adorable. But short of adding thick rimmed glasses and a pocket protector – I can’t draw them with anything but vacant stare. Pandas are an endangered species. They have a low birth rate and can’t contend with the loss of habitat.
