Bumblebear Dreams of Honey Valhalla
11 1/8 x 11 1/8"
The Bumblebear is a fascinating specimen which has stumped the best zoologists of multiple dimensions. Bearing similarities to bear, bird, and bee, its closest relative could be Earth's Malayan Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) or possibly the Buzzing Taka Cat (Susurrus flavocattus) of the Menkar system. Perhaps due to an unquenchable thirst for honey, this critter has developed a unique camouflage mimicking the coloring of the ubiquitous honey bee. Alas, the bumblebear is not particularly smart, and camouflage is not enough as they are twenty to thirty times larger than your average bee; the hive usually manages to chase one off before it can consume all of their honey reserves.
But a bumblebear can dream... dream of Honey Valhalla where the hives are plentiful and poorly guarded, and honey flows freely down pastel hills under watchful red clouds.

Reclaimed 20 gauge aluminum sheet metal has been hand hammered into a custom form of our own design. All edges are manually hemmed to the back for a clean minimal look that does not require framing. Piece comes ready to hang with a handmade galvanized steel clip.
The bumblebear form (sans wings) is raised from the rest of this piece in a gentle curve. Art is painted in a charming cartoon style, using dry acrylic pigments to create a watercolor effect. Bumblebear is a highly stylized cartoon creature, with oval body, small round limbs, two curves which indicate ears, and large cartoon eyes. It zooms over a surreal landscape comprised of varicolored hills with strange abstract plants and pools of water, dotted with beehives from which yellow honey flows. Pink clouds with smiling faces fade into the background among pointy purple mountains in front of a deep blue sky.
Art is clear coated in Matte.

This dimensional painting on aluminum is very durable, but please treat as an art piece by keeping it indoors, dry, and out of direct sunlight. This will ensure all images remain bright and pristine.
