In my imaginary arctic country Northlandia, the arctic hares work under Arctic Fox the Engineer to build giant igloos to shelter melting glaciers.
 
They always look grumpy and in a foul mood because they think they’re better than their station. 
 
Their eyes are red and perpetually rolling from jealousy of Arctic Fox. They think they should be the engineer. 
 
They have multiple arms—making them ideal workers.

This woodcut painting is carved and then coloured with the highest quality artist pigments. Archival professional-quality paint is meant to last over 100 years. I spray the artwork with three extra layers of UV protection.
 
The work is framed in a beautiful ornate super sturdy solid pine wooden frame. You have a choice of black or white frames. 
 
This piece is part of my “21 Day Challenge” project. During 1-21 November 2024, I created one small woodcut drawing per day. Each features an animal character inhabitant from my imaginary arctic country “Northlandia.”
