The Polar Bear King is On The Road Again – Please Stand By
Some say I am the Polar Bear King. Perhaps. All I know is that when the world is in flux, my white, fluffy friend takes to the road—learning, exploring, playing, and spreading love and happiness along the way. Please stand by for some new paintings with polar bears.
It’s 2025, and the world is churning once again. The last time the polar bear made an appearance, he was in Banff—dining at the Grizzly House, striking yoga poses on the ice, and embracing the spirit of adventure. But with this new series of paintings, it felt like the perfect moment for our curious companion to venture beyond Canada’s borders—to Boston.
Boston, Massachusetts 2025
Boston provided the opportunity to showcase my polar bear paintings in this year’s Winteractive art experience. It also meant a chance to explore world-class museums and indulge in the city’s culinary staples—lobster, clam chowder, and, of course, the ever-iconic Dunkin’ Donuts. Returning home to Canada, I could feel the tides shifting, as a new president was inaugurated in the United States, marking another moment of transition in an already unpredictable era.

In response, I found myself painting the Polar Bear King into new pieces—capturing the energy of our travels and the ever-evolving state of the world. These paintings reflect his insatiable curiosity, his love for adventure, and his deep dive into the symbols of pop culture. Enjoy this latest chapter in the journey of the Polar Bear King.

The polar bear king appeared in Boston at the original Dunkin’ Donuts location, I guess he was hungry and then he was full up and drunk on American donuts.

Please stand by! The polar bear king is floating in an upward stance, he wonders what the heck is going on in this world right now, it’s 2025 and things are up in the air, time to ride the waves and see where it takes us.
Two new paintings in a growing series about the adventures of the Polar Bear King, nearly 25 paintings created in this series to date.
