In the Finnish mythology killing of a bear was followed by a great feast in honour of the bear (peijaiset), where a substantial part of the celebrations consisted of convincing the bear's spirit that it had died accidentally and hadn't been murdered. Afterwards, the bear's skull was hung high upon a pine tree so its spirit could re-enter the heavens. The bones of the bear were then buried under the pine. Reference for this work is my old drawing of karhunkallopetäjä/bearskullpine in the Riisitunturi. Also practice sketch of bear skull and at last photo i took of pine.

Looking out at that crazy Graham up in the tree!

A traditional illustration painted digitally.

I found a cute white ceramic piggy bank in a charity shop and painted it up with alcohol inks. So much fun, I love upcycling stuff!

These ones are about my darkest, pathetic thoughts. I'm really sorry that they're Turkish again :(

Happy people in my life. Precisely just what they look like. They smile big and some wear hats. They hatched from eggs all laid by cats.
