Save the Polar Bears!
I illustrated a polar bear for the Toronto Zoo for their recent campaign created by Lowe Roche. It's used for a twitter cloud page, as well as some banners on their site.
25% of Arctic Sea ice has already disappeared. Without action, the polar bears could disappear too. You can make a difference. Start by making your next tweet about something environmentally friendly. If we all tweet together, the polar bear's iceberg will grow – ensuring its survival. If we stay silent, the iceberg will melt – leaving the polar bear in peril. So start spreading the word on all things green. Our little tweets can make a big difference to the future of the polar bear. (from http://polartweets.com/)

The Behance Network
For those who don't know. The Behance Network is an amazing source of creative inspiration. There are countless designers' and artists' work that I must own one day. Lots of great work. More importantly it allows creative people from around the globe to network with each other. It's just fantastic when you are having your morning coffee, and reading an email from Argentina for example, about how they love your work. If you're in the industry and are freelancing or have a small shop, I totally recommend you signing up!
More importantly, I am honored to be featured on the main page!

I want to do more of these… Anyhow, check out the patterns!
