In April 2013, The Untapped Source team contacted me, after spotlighting my artwork on their website, with reference to doing a commission for their redevelopment of their own website. The proposal was to create a series of animal portraits. These would reflect qualities of the individuals and also show the individual in their work place.
After one month of working away on the pieces (with some strong support from the guys at Untapped) the four portraits were completed.
Original artwork scale: A1
Digital work: Photoshop
Drew is the head guy at Untapped, and the printing expert. He knows everything and anything that is required to get prints looking brilliant and as required.
For this commission, he was explained originally as a Sable. However, after some discussion about his character and appearance, it was decided that the cool nature and tall physique best suited a polar bear. Which sat well in both camps, and especially me, as I always wanted to draw a polar bear.
