The Bear

Artist James Green creates a lot of artwork featuring donkeys, so it felt natural to him to use this theme for his Bear design. He wanted to use the Bear as a landscape on which the donkeys have their mysterious adventures. They are helped on their way by strange hands that appear in the design and assist them in navigating the terrain of the Bear. James always likes to imagine donkeys having a lot of fun when they’re not bothered by humans.
