Iorek Byrnison

Thought I'd best post a picture of an actual bear too. Here's a smudgy charcoal drawing of the armoured bear from 'His Dark Materials (the awesome book version not the crappy movie).

The Old Bear

A very liberal interpretation of this month's theme; The Old Bear, Commander Mormont from 'Game of Thrones'.

Bear Story

I'll kick this theme off with a story. In the Lorena Province of Afghanistan in 2001, or thereabouts, a toddler belonging to a nomadic tribe wandered off from his tent and was missing for three days. He was eventually found, safe and well, in the hills miles away, in the cave of a she-bear. The bear was curled protectively around the child and had apparently been nursing him. He was taken home to his relieved parents; no record seems to exist however for what happened to the bear. One likes to hope for the best.

The Thin White Duke

Mr. Boo-ie

This was the first weekend I got a chance to finish this stuff off. 

I thought I’d do something a bit more grown up.  This comes from his Lazarus vid, loved the lighting in that and wanted to do most recent Boo-ie.   (He said himself once even he didn’t know how to pronounce that.  He thought “Bowie” was a Scottish name and did actually think it was pronounced “Boo-ie”, but I just say it that way because I’m being deliberately stupid)

..but then,  there’s only so much grown-upness one can take… 

Labyrinth Bowie

Tesla Bowie

Bowie as Tesla from fantastic Christopher Nolan movie 'The Prestige'
