As a final post for my #polarbearpostcardproject -- After spending 14 months mailing 310 pieces of original art to the President @whitehouse it was SUPER hard to pick favorites, but these look nice together :) I'm searching for the next iteration of this artistic #advocacy In due time I'll begin using this #instagram account for other items of #kidlitart etc. but a permanent home for the Post Card Project will be established soon at www.erikbrooks.com Cheers to all who've enjoyed the #polarbears and thanks so much for the support! #happynewyear And keep ON IT for ways to hold our new administration to task! #climatechangeisreal the #arcticrefuge needs greater protection #wearethearctic #keepitintheground #climateaction #saveourseaice #monumentsforall

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 310 And for Christmas eve... I have always liked the quiet contemplation of Silent Night - of something vast and large brought down to a small and intimate instance. We're an entire world full of connected community these days, people. Look for the common thread. Slow it down. Consider. Peace out! #silentnight #merrychristmas #christmaseve #christmas #wearethearctic #saveourseaice #advocate for #climateaction #polarbears for #peace #polarbearsforpeace #keepitintheground

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 307 Today the President @whitehouse off-shore drilling in large portions of the #Arctic and #Atlantic oceans! In similar news, a large crowd of studied and stoic #polarbears formed an ursine wall at the boundaries of Alaska's coastal plain. Good work President Obama. Good work bears! #wearethearctic #saveourseaice #keepitintheground #advocate for #climateaction #climatechangeisreal #grrr #thankyou

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 306 "Electoral College Monday" I'll try to get a little more optimistic and festive for my final 9 cards of the project, but the Russian hack/"messing around with" of our elections/news cycle is disturbing... The last time I checked, big oil and the Russian oligarchy could pretty much care less about jobs for working class Americans, so the joke is pretty much on all of us - and sadly our political process. It's even more unfortunate that the president-elect is so scared of having his win questioned in any way that he reacts as he does, and it does NOT bode well for the next four years. I hope that the president-elect is held justly accountable for his assorted partnerships and deals. Someone else will have to actually rise up and fight for the little guy and all of the groups and issues soon to be marginalized by this new administration. #wearethearctic #saveourseaice #advocate for #climateaction #polarbears #politics #electoralcollege #monday

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 305 ... oh, and embarrassing or not as it may be to have a spelling error in your casual but dedicated communications to the President of the United States (see PPBpc No. 304 - and I'm sure that it's not the first time!) I'll leave you for the week with "SEND IT NO. 2 - Nordic style!" Dig in. Go big! And for the Obama family en route to #Hawaii - Mele Kalikimaka. #saveourseaice #wearethearctic #advocate for #climateaction #merrychristmas #letitsnow #melekalikimaka #nordicskiing #crosscountryskiing #polarbear #sunset #classicskiing #nordic #arcticrefuge

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 304 A humble admission here: I spelled the President's first name wrong on my last post card! "Blush" To wit, my apology post card... As an Erik with a 'k' I'm pretty comfortable with people spelling my name wrong -- but it DOES seem a little more embarrassing when you write to the President and you've already written him about 300 times. So it goes, kids. This kind of stuff happens to the best of us. Do your best. Be as careful as you can - but sometimes fall victim to your enthusiasm :) Onward and upward! #wearethearctic #advocate for #climateaction #polarbear #letters #communication #saveourseaice #ifyoudonttryyoucantfail
