“Time is running …”
I love Bears, they are my favorite wild animal, especially polar bears. Global warming has put these magnificent wild creatures in danger. So my Illustration Friday piece this week based on the word, “Time” is a tribute to these creatures. Human beings are stewards of the earth, please, let’s try to act like it.
For more information on endangered species like polar bears, visit:

Peace to you and be good to the Earth, it has been very good to us.

Thank you Indigene! Hasn’t anybody from WWF seen this yet? It makes a good awareness campaign for endangered species. I also like how you included the foot prints on the clock.:)

Very nice message and great take on the IF word. We should all be more aware of our impact on this planet!
Have a great weekend!

Great layout on the clock…I like the effect of the paw prints…and nice symbolism as a whole on the item…I’m also not sure how I missed your ‘resolve’ post…(I think I was on a sabbatical of the mind) but I really like the character design and rendering on that one!!!

Great take on the theme, awareness is important, too many people choose to ignore what is going on.
Ellen Morrow said
At this time, acutely, these magnificent creatures are at risk and already suffering from the effects of global warming and habitat destruction. Thank you for reminding us to bring these beautiful creatures into our thoughts as we take action to protect our planet.
Marta said
Great take on the theme. I couldn’t agree with you more!

This reminds me of an Inuit totem. Perhaps the Polar Bear is your totem…. Very nice! 🙂

Indigene,
I owe you an apology… I answered you back on my blog and spelled your name wrong.
I was inspired by the concept of your piece for IF… good work.

Your use of blues, whites, and the bear – all worked well for your goal! Lovely.

Such a wonderful illostration and message. When I was younger I wanted a polar bear cub sooo badly. LOL I only understood when I was older why I never got one … they grow! Your message is really important, it’s sad what’s happening to them. I’ll check out that site u posted.

Love it! I just see the film “The Earth” last night with my family…and we indeed very moved by the polar bear story…I totally understand why you take this issue so much into consideration. Bless your soul.

Yes, yes, yes! What a fantastic illustration. I hope we can raise the alarm enough to change things around. Beautiful bear, and beautiful arctic landscape.

Lovely illustration, i like your layout and how you have the bear on the clock. They are gorgeous creatures, i loved looking at one swim at the Singapore zoo a couple of years ago. Your words are very thoughtful and true. Thanks for your nice comment today.

1:40… i truly hope we have that much time left… some would say that i am a pessimist… a realist is more like it… and i think the time for large animals on this earth is almost over… a hundred years from now i don’t think there will be any animals larger than man left in the wild… and that hundred years is probably very generous… i pray that i am wrong…
as for bears… i think that… given enough time… they would be the next of God’s creatures to evolve… as the great apes did… bears are beautifulæ amazing… powerful creatures… like your work…
