Description: No WiFi. No Problem. No Survivors. This strikingly bold and darkly funny geometric art print pays tribute to Svalbard — the remote Norwegian archipelago deep inside the Arctic Circle where polar bears outnumber people, the sun doesn't set for four months, and every hiker is legally required to carry a rifle. A magnificent polar bear, rendered in a stunning low-poly mosaic of icy blue, deep navy, and flashes of coral red, stalks across a frozen Arctic landscape beneath a solitary red sun — sovereign, unhurried, and completely unbothered by your presence or your survival.

Description: Pyramiden (Пирамида Piramida in Russian) is an abandoned Russian settlement and coal-mining community on the archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the USSR in 1927, Pyramiden was closed in 1998, as it was no longer economically viable to maintain it. I visited in 2018 and wanted to make something to remember my visit to this surreal Ghost Town. This vintage design aims to capture the some of the atmosphere of this former home to 1000 people.

Description: Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its rugged, remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes. The Northern Lights are visible during winter, and summer brings the “midnight sun”—sunlight 24 hours a day. This tourist style design is a tongue in cheek vision of what happens when polar bear poachers get what's coming to them along with the text "Visit High Arctic Svalbard" in Norwegian, so whether you're into wildlife violently rising up or just souvenirs from far away lands, this one is for you!
