Warm browns, tans, and gold fill the ground, worked over with ledger lines and postmark stamps.

Description

A grizzly bear rears at the left edge, its whole body traced in a line of electric gold. The human beside it is cropped to fragments — a bare thigh, a pair of furred boots, a hand fitted with a steel meat claw — so that the animal reads as the fuller, truer presence and the person as something halfway out of frame. Warm browns, tans, and gold fill the ground, worked over with ledger lines and postmark stamps, so the whole surface carries the texture of old paperwork and transit.

Original mixed media — gel print, acrylic, and paint pen on board, 16 × 20 in., framed and ready to hang. One of a kind. 2026.

Hey, quick note from Nadia here! The text in this product listing is created using AI.

I do NOT use AI in any creative works - not in any part of the Tarot deck, including the book and the Tarot section of this website. I do NOT use AI in things like my bio, artist statement, etc. I ONLY use my chatbot, under extremely close handling (no autopilot here!), for things inside the environment of the shop section of my website.

I do this so I can carry on with the business of making art, rather than trying to sell art. I very much hate AI, too, but I also know that my creative engine has almost been destroyed by the very hustle and added mental load required to keep that engine even operating.

Something had to give. I believe that you, the viewer who is reading this, will probably connect more with the art than with my shitty descriptions of it, so I'm delegating the descriptions to a bot, since it's mostly going to be a bot that crawls the text, anyway.
