Story

This whale project began when I saw some of Carly Steven's drawings while she was working at Eagle Aerie Gallery. I asked Carly if she would consider combining styles and creating a very original print. She agreed, and the process of communication began. Whales have been a big part of people's lives around the Tofino neighborhood for thousands of years. There are many stories of the importance of the whale to the Nuu Chah Nulth way of life. Today, we have seen a resurgence in whales and interest in them, so much so that thousands come to Tofino every year for an experience with whales. These close contacts leave us in awe and wonder at the gentleness of these giant creatures. My first close encounter with a Grey whale happened many years ago in Grice Bay, a piece of sheltered inlet water close to Tofino. I can still see this grey whale swimming up close to my boat, going underneath the boat and coming up on the other side. The whale was very friendly and not afraid of human contact. I will never forget leaning over the side of my boat, touching the whale, and seeing its skin surface ripple in reaction to the touch of a human hand. I found it amazing that the whale could feel such a soft touch. I also remember taking a friend to see this whale who came to be known as Harmony. My friend was so moved by the experience that he could hardly get out of the boat when we returned.

Harmony is an appropriate name for this creation, as it also took harmony between two artists to create this image. The realistic portrayal of a grey whale and an old Northwest Coast stylized rendition of the same whale come together in harmony. 

Thank you Carly for being a part of such Harmony. I look forward to the next whale collaboration.

Roy Henry Vickers

In the mid 80’s a very special whale traveled to this area. She was the friendliest grey whale to visit our area, known for her love of human contact. When she arrived to Clayoquot Sound, the whale watching industry was just beginning and there were only a few people doing whale research.

My friend Sharron Carbone was one of the whale watching industry pioneers at that time. She was told of a friendly grey whale close by in Grice Bay and she set out to find it. Sharron was in a 12’ zodiac with two others in the boat when they came across the whale. This friendly whale swam beside the boat and stuck her head out of the water. Sharron amazingly reached out, hugged the whale’s head, and kissed her. She looked at this whale and thought “what amazing harmony”. From then on, the whale became lovingly known as Harmony. She stayed for the summer, feeding and visiting the whale watchers. Some people were scared of her. One boat of fisherman panicked when she came too close and injured her with their engine props when trying to get away from her. At the end of the season, Sharron didn’t come across her again, figuring she left for her journey south for the winter. 

It was never confirmed that Harmony visited the area again, as identifying whales in the area didn’t begin until some years later. Harmony is celebrated through songs and artwork of her short time in the Tofino area.

I want to thank Roy for taking an interest in my artwork, and for this amazing opportunity to collaborate on this very special project. I am honored that my first limited edition print, “Harmony,” is with Roy Henry Vickers.

Way too easy for dogs to chew up
Color: Texas Longhorns
I have a black lab who likes to chew toys up. She destroyed this almost immediately with ease. It is not durable whatsoever to any chewing. Do not get.

Durable and fun!
Color: Michigan Wolverines
I’m impressed with this toy! My two puppies absolutely love it and it’s been a hit during playtime. What stands out the most is how durable it is. This toy has held up much longer than most of the others I’ve tried. Despite my puppies energetic play, it’s still in great shape! Plus, it’s the perfect size for them to carry around and chew on. Definitely a must-have for any Michigan fan with pups!
