Unbearables, first in the series of signed and numbered multi-compartment limited edition box figurines,
depicts a picnic overrun by eight very hungry and curious bears. The group of six humans and their three
dogs have learned a valuable lesson regarding Nature’s powerful forces. A shattered television has fallen
victim to one of the hairy characters. The mouse is hiding beneath a bear’s bottom, next to the dog on top
of the picnic table. Carved into the tabletop is a message about Anne Archer, one of Peter’s favourite actresses.
The wine bottles bear the names “Noel” and “Lisa”. Also carved into the table is “Broadway GC”, which
is a widely used golf club. “Hogs” is carved into an overturned chair, referring to Peter’s affection for
Harley Davidson motorcycles. The first 772 boxes had empty interiors. The remaining pieces had a mini
“Unbearables” inside. Each piece is hand-numbered, signed by the artist and accompanied by a
certificate of authenticity. Interior hallmarks include © and HBC logo.
