Sneak Peek : BEAR GRYLLS OF "MAN VS. WILD" (DISCOVERY CHANNEL)

This is the progress in one small corner of an 8x10 I am doing as tribute to my new favorite show: "Man vs. Wild" with Bear Grylls. If you haven't seen this guy in action, you should definitely catch his show Friday nights on the Discovery Channel. He's done some crazy stuff. I think he's the youngest dude to climb Everest, he's a former Military Survival Instructor for the United Kingdom special forces, and his show basically goes like this: Fly a guy in by helicopter or plane, and drop him into really deadly places (sahara desert, everglades, padagonian wilderness, etc) with NOTHING but a knife and his wits, and then watch him show you how to survive. This is caveman hunter/gatherer stuff. Here are some good videos: One is of Grylls in action and the other is the Discovery Channel's awesome "I love the whole world" commercial - includes cameos by some of my favorite stars. (Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Future Weapons, Man v. Wild, etc) - Special thanks to my buddy Nick Hardesty of Catholic Apologetics for the latter vid!
