Even Polar Bears have bad days.. And good days! ...And bad days.

I enjoy playing with word meanings and I love Polar Bears, so this was the perfect fusion between the two!

Thanks for the comments, guys :) I hear what you’re saying re: putting the wording on, but I wanted it to be subtle, to encourage people to actually look and also think about what they’re seeing ;) shoutBack 2 weeks, 1 day ago by

very sad, and cute shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Oooh, very cute. I always like designs that don’t “say” explicitly what it is, but yes, it’s not immediate. But I still wouldn’t have put the words on :P shoutBack 2 weeks, 3 days ago by

Hmmm, very true CHUCKY! Otherwise its still super cool :) shoutBack 2 weeks, 3 days ago by

I think this is great idea, and very clean style to it. But you should have actually put the words “Bipolar bear” on the tee and the joke would be alot clearer! shoutBack 2 weeks, 3 days ago by

Adorned with spell basically means made more beautiful by a spell or enchantment.. I tried to go for a lady in the forest vibe…

I must say this turned out allot better than the original drawing! whoop! I really enjoyed the transformation and transition of this from paper to screen.

@BoyBrown, thanks for the insight… haha, maybe the spell blessed her with a beautiful placid look, a constant light on her face, and a GHD in her hand.. oh, no those aren’t vines in her eyes.. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Quite a beautiful design. A bit big though. Detail is great in certain parts and a bit under-developed in others- like the eyes. are those vines in her hair? If she’s a forest lady she should look a bit more wild. I don’t think there are ghd’s in the forest. and her eyes should be more expressive- to show the spell, or the enchantment she is under. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Thanks ArtAddict and DuncanBoxie! shoutBack 2 weeks, 4 days ago by

Well hello there Springleapers!

It’s a miserable day in Cape Town, and I’m feeling a bit like sprinkling some cynicism around the world today.

So here it is…

22 things I’m sick of hearing about, and things I think are just darn silly

1. The word ‘stadia’. Since when did everyone become a Greek scholar?? The word ‘stadiums’ is just fine thank you very much.

2. White liberals that fawn over Julius Malema. A while ago, some idiot on a talk show said: “I’m a great fan of Julius Malema. I think he’s much cleverer than he makes out”. Gee, wonder what would make him think that?

3. Chandeliers. No, it doesn’t make your house look anything like a chateau. More like a yenta’s bedroom in Sea Point.

4. Glossy supplements that fall out of newspapers. Global warming anyone?

5. Art exhibition openings with bad wine.

6. Power walkers. They look so bloody silly, sometimes I find I’m overcome by the temptation to mount the pavement and run them over.

7. People that say “I am blessed”. God, get over yourself already. And while you’re at it, stop prancing around with a yoga mat under your arm. It’s just a tad pretentious.

8. Rehab. Where did addicts go to in the old days? Prison- that’s where.

9. The Hollywood smile. Blazing white enamel that practically blinds you. Most often neslted in an ancient face. I’m not convinced love. You’re old. Own it.

10. Yachting. People in silly looking outfits, speaking in ridiculously complicated terminology and more often than not requiring rescuing at taxpayers expense.

11. Opera played as background music. What the f?

12. Girls that know nothing about soccer and yet ardently back a team. Shame darling, need some attention?

13. Farmer’s markets. Overpriced stock that hasn’t even smelled a farm.

14. The hug. Have you noticed how many people hug these days? Long embraces that last for several minutes. Hugging is for bears and Johnny Depp.

15. Golfing clothes worn off the golf course. Especially those checkered trousers.

16. The “I’m in a meeting” answer. Well then don’t answer your mobile you idiot.

17. Speed dating done by blood group. A’s are cool, B’s are a bit uppity, and who on earth would want to end up with an O? Heaven forbid.

18. Demented research. A Cornell university professor spent years studying the portions on the plates in different versions of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. He discovered that portion sizes have increased by 60% since Jesus’ time. This is info one could simply not live without.

19. People who call every headache a migraine and every cold the flu. Silly.

20. Advertising for retards. In a woman’s magazine’s radio ad, a girl thanks her make-up. “My eyeshadow for being so beautiful, my mascara for not running when I cry,” she sobs. The magazine in question calls itself “The thinking woman’s magazine”. Thinking what exactly?

21. Soccer players kissing each other. Just silly really. They look like over excited hairdressers.

22. Elite dating. A newspaper ad reads “Meet and date local South African wealthy women.” Silly, but it does let most of us off the hook thankfully.

And that’s all for now…

Have a happy chews-day Springleapers!
