Penguins and Polar Bears Don't Mix

You might be thinking, "Well, sure, polar bears will eat the penguins so they can't really be friends like the nursery room decor and soda commercials imply."  But it actually goes further than that ... 

But why, though?!

What I can't figure out is WHY someone decided the two should go together?  And why has it continued?   Penguins and polar bears have never been in the same place, this isn't a recent change.  Yet someone decided they looked "cute" together.   If two things live in snow they must hang out together?   And why has it continued all this time?   This holiday season, pay attention to how often you see polar bears and penguins mixed together.  Mass-marketing schemes feeding misinformation for no apparent benefit ... yippee!!   

Behind the Scenes

Digital art opens up so many possibilities.  I just still can't convince my brain it is not somehow 'cheating', despite the truth that it does take just as much talent and skill to make your digital pen behave just as it would a paintbrush.   Don't be fooled when you watch someone make it look easy .. it is not!!!   The one thing that IS easier, is that awesome UNDO button ... saves so much erasing!
