Polar Bear Post Card Posts -- A Temporary Hold!

Harts Pass No. 282

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 61 - 1.11.16

Deep in the Heart of Texas, the Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project visits Eanes Elementary in Austin! Rock on 'y'all :)

Eanes Elementary School Visit - home of Iditarod Teacher on the Trail, Laura Wright!

I kicked off three days of school assemblies and art workshops at Eanes Elementary (Go Mustangs!) here in Austin, TX today! Such a great group of students, staff and teachers -- including (with the husky) the current Iditarod Teacher on the Trail, Laura Wright. Laura's posts about curriculum connections to the Iditarod are AMAZING and you should definitely check it out and stay closely tuned as she makes her final preparations to head to Alaska! Thanks much to all and I will see you tomorrow morning :)

A colorful nod of appreciation. A tip 'o the hat if you please.

My final resolution card. GRRR! The wolverine way!

Harts Pass No. 281

I'm not a backcountry skier by any stretch of the imagination, but the snow's been so cold and light and fluffy 'round here of late that even the front country is skiing pretty great :) It won't last long so get H.A.P.P.Y. while you can!

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 58 - 1.6.16

Excited for the 2016 publications of Beluga Whales, Grizzy Tales  (March) and Later, Gator! (July), but I've got a a few new stories to send out this year and I'm hoping that one of them and/or my 16 years of illustrating 20+ books might help me out in finding a respectable agent. Not a lot of this one under my control... but I do have to make the submissions. Onward and upward! Just a few more polar bear resolutions and then I'll get back to other random inspirations :)

Indeed. Even with a notorious sweet tooth and the occasional need to keep myself awake in the wee hours, I should hopefully be able to avoid those major sugar/caffine/supplement drinks in 2016. Abide by Resolution #1 and it isn't even an issue :)

Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 56 - 1.4.16

We get better at the things we do. To be practiced liberally throughout the year with everything from instruments and drawing/writing, to open-minded conversations and patience :)
