The character of Business Bear first appeared in 2014 while sitting in long, boring meetings. I could never commit to a regular schedule. However, that changed in March of 2020 when the UK went into its first lockdown.

I'm a software developer, and before lockdown, I'd not worked from home before. I had an hour commute each way to my workplace by car, so I had little spare time for drawing. Since working from home has removed that commute, I decided to get back into it and use Business Bear as an outlet for the silly and absurd things that I've experienced since working from home (and from my working world in general).

I've been heavily inspired by the likes of Dilbert, The Life of Sharks, and Liz Climo.

    This is so identifiable. My "support staff" often intervene during meetings like this. Fortunately, we ALL have furbabies.
