Readers of Curly Bob’s blog will be shocked to hear that we have received a message from the British Consulate in Mexico City saying Bob’s party of bears were kidnapped at gunpoint during their excursion into the Yucatan jungle earlier this week.
Initial reports were lacking in detail. When I called the Consulate our worst fears were confirmed. Bob and his fellow travellers are being held hostage by a fiendish group of bandits known throughout the Yucatan as Las Patas Negras (The Black Paws), who will stop at nothing to achieve their aims.
Apparently they have a dreadful reputation for smuggling honey, chocolate and ice cream across the Mexican border. There are hundreds of police and soldiers combing the jungle for Bob and his pals.
The nation and bear lovers everywhere hold their breath hoping for Bob’s safe return. He is a born survivor which makes me optimistic. He once spent weeks in a bin bag, when we were having some building work done. He emerged unscathed apart from his battered pride and his fur ruffled a bit.
I am certain he would wish me to carry on his good work so I have chosen to publish 2 more works from the archive which I hope will meet with his approval and be enjoyed by his growing number of fans worldwide.
The paintings are :-
“Blasted Oak” – Oil on Canvas &
“Blood Lust” which is also an Oil on canvas both from circa 2008/9.
Before he left Bob insisted I keep an accurate record of sales and titles of work as he is normally a very tidy bear. I plan to ring again today for more news.
