Californian Bear Magnets

Bear Plodding Through Orange Californian Poppies is a delightful artwork of a bear strolling through a field of orange wildflowers. The last California bear was seen a century ago, going extinct after decades of persecution and hunting bounties. This image depicts a cartoon style bear in a beautiful outdoor landscape of orange flowers, resembling the profiteering of the forty-niners.. The cut out image allows the artwork to stand out against a solid background. Whimsical historical and iconic artwork.

California State Flag

1950's luggage label from California depicting the famous California Grizzly Bear.

Part of a collection of flags I made, local variations on the rainbow flag, celebrating LGBTQ Pride in each and all the nations where I have lived or which are dear to my heart. California is, to me, an ideal as much as a physical place, a concept and a philosophy as much as geography. A culture, and a worldview. California is a state of mind. Why make the bear pink? Why not keep him brown? I fiddled around with multiple versions of the flag. In the end, the pink bear looked better: nicer contrast, and frankly, he looks more fun that way. :)
