The Art of the Display: Bear Print

bear chain


I love bears. You find a bear print, poster, painting drawing, I'm usually sold. Today I came across this one by UK artist, Julia Pott which is no exception. Entitled, This is My Boyfriend, the print is a drawing of a photograph of her boyfriend whom she claims the print is a pretty spot on likeness of him. Found via (photo with the print framed in it) from renee anne who dropped it off in our Art of Display flickr group. Thanks Renee!!!

It's a strong image indeed. The brown/green contrast is stunning and the dots on the background provide great depth. The bear/boyfriend's expression simply is adorable.

It looks nice in the black frame, Renee, and the combination with the other items works out great.

However, in case you'd like to add Julia's boyfriend to your couch one day, it's possible as well :)

Have an exciting 2010 Renee & everyone at Poppytalk!

I love your shop concept, I think it is just great.
