Iorek Byrnison



Iorek is an armored bear from Philip Pullman's book "The Golden Compass" and he says things like "Iron is bear-metal. Gold is not." In context that statement is a lot more bad ass. Don't take my word for it though. Read the book.

Hey Chris Rock! Haven't talked to you since I met you at Sarah's party many moons ago. I saw your 3rd year film, though, and it was fantastic! Can't wait to see what you come up with for your 4th year film. I saw your stuff in the hall - it's cool.

Yer pal,
Me

Casper's missing out! Read the books, haha! And I'm psyched Golden Compass is floating around your circle of friends, and I thought I had to be embarassed when I told Sam it was my favourite, turns out you all were reading it

geeks!

Great painting, Nick, I believe you just inspired me to create some Dark Material art, too

Man, I LOVE that book. The first one is still my favorite though. I hope the movie doesn't suck, it deserves a good adaptation.

Now that I'm almost done the book, I can appreciate your painting much more. Iorek is SO BAD ASS! I want a giant armored bear to escort me on my journey to the North.
Lovely work my friend!
