Bear looking for salmon at low tide, on the traditional Kwagu'ł First Nation territory. It was so foggy that it was hard to distintiguish the bears from the boulders, until they started to move.

A relatively quick drawing of a Kwakiutl totem pole from on a photo I took at Israel Museum. The grizzly bear's face shows such character I couldn't resist trying to draw him. Would love to learn more!
