This month Becky (the Queen of Squares) has challenged us to find lines. In Squares naturally. That is the only proper ‘rule’. I have been dipping into the archives for this one, as well as finding local lines.
“mr polar bear goes to washington”
In partnership with the Natural History Museum, the Cool Globes San Diego exhibit was displayed in and around Balboa Park, the San Diego Port, Seaport Village and the Embarcadero Marina Park from October 2008-March 2009. Various artists created globes about Climate Change.
Artist: Peter Mars “Mr Polar Bear Goes to Washington”
Combining found objects with images from popular media, Mars painted his globe to tell the poignant story of the creatures most affected by global warming: the polar bears. The patriotic globe shows a concerned father polar bear visiting the U.S. Capitol to try and convince senators and representatives to help him save the rapidly receding polar ice.

I always enjoy seeing those globes, Jude. Mr Polar Bear is a good one!
Best wishes, Pete. x
They were all pretty amazing Pete. A shame we still seem to be going over the same old, same old…
Great globe . . wish the debate had moved on though
Quite.
Oh, a playful line!
Now that XR are moving the debate on, we might see some action. Great starting point!
Good luck to him! 🙂 🙂
I like this one. A fairly whimsical picture but with a serious message. 🙂
The globes were all very clever. I just picked out a few with distinctive lines. Sad that we are still saying the same things though and I am guessing those polar bears have even less ice to live on now.
A whole decade on, and these days the emaciated bears would struggle to make the trip. Lovely image Jude.
That’s so very true Su, sadly. 😕
It’s a lovely whimsical piece but I’m pretty sure those bears won’t be smiling once they’ve met the current incumbent of the White House.
