#9 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Rob Lowe and is located at the Castle Square tram stop. The challenge for Rob was to paint straight lines on an uneven surface. The end result is somewhere between a painting and a Supermundane outfit that the Bear is wearing. He hopes it will bring a smile to those that see it out in the wilds of Sheffield.
