Any plans to make this available as a card ? My wife wanted to buy some today but realised she couldn’t.

@Craig – unfortunately I an unable to make this available as a gift card at the moment. I have licenced the image to the Lynn Tait Gallery in the UK for 3 years for use as a gift card. I did this before RedBubble made cards – sorry I can’t help you there. Not sure if you can get something through them if you are really keen (they are really nice fine art cards with a square crop of the photo), here’s an email address – info@lynntaitgallery.com

Awesome photo!!!

Spotted your Polar Bear image for sale in Borders Melbourne today in the card section through a UK company I Think. Congrats on that one pure polar bear magic and I hope it’s coverage keeps on going, it is such a great image.

@zee1 – I have licenced the image to Lynn Tait Gallery in UK who use the image on greeting cards…which would have been the ones you saw. That is why I cannot have them available in RedBubble…I licenced it before Redbubble started doing cards.

This is an amazing shoot. The emotion and peace of the bear swimming right at you is just breath taking. Love your work
