Note:
“I never make my drawings balance on both sides even though I try to. After I finish them, I see that they are only a little balanced. I put a polar bear in this picture because I heard that somebody really liked another drawing of a polar bear that I made. I have never seen a spirit, but I heard a man telling stories of them on the radio.”
