It’s pretty safe to assume that Jamie Mitchell has a penchant for bears. After all, you can literally find bears from every continent in his magnificent art portfolio and he’s drawn the four-legged beasts in a variety of motifs. Panda bears with bow-ties, polar bears with winter hats and even Harry Potter-themed grizzly bears are no strange sight when looking through the eclectic work of this talented UK-based freelance illustrator and graphic designer. And in case you were wondering, yes, that’s Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine fame in the title image riding atop a bear. Simply badass.
Jamie Mitchell originally started out as an architect, but opted to pursue a career he was truly passionate about. He’s currently working in the competitive world of freelance illustrating, though it’s unfathomable that an artist of his caliber can’t find projects to work on.
