Polar Brokers

Polar Brokers is a series of drawings where I took the bio pics of big oil executives and morphed images of polar bears into their silhouettes. With the Polar Brokers series I am attempting to try and make myself think of the issues of global warming and our oil consumption on a daily basis. Making these portraits I envision the big oil executives one day in the near future looking in the mirror and seeing themselves partially responsible for the extinction of an entire species.

Polar Brokers has a web site also which can be found by clicking here.

Polar Brokers inspired me to begin bike commuting. Below is video footage of my 12 mile commute that I do 2-3 three times a week depending on the circumstances.

    Looks like you've unintentially created what could be considered a dual image. Check out the role of "Bear" funds (hedge funds) in the current economic crisis. First thing I thought of when I saw this series.
