The world of bear art is a relatively recent phenomenon.  With the recognition of a widespread attraction between masculine and often bulky males, appreciative communities of like-minded individuals have sprung up in many countries of the world.  From within these communities artists have appeared and a new niche genre of art as come into being: bear art.  Here the British artist Mike Thorn presents his work, and shortly we hope to be presenting the work of other artists in this genre.  Enjoy.
