This cool new piece from cute character brand, Smiling Bear® is really eye catching. Your friends will definitely want to know more about this cheeky blue koala bear who's just arrived on the scene.

The design features Smiling Bear hanging out the window of his 'ute' waving and tooting his horn. Ute is the Australian term for coupé utility vehicle, which is basically a 2 door coupé cabin with cargo space behind. It's a popular vehicle in Australia, and Smiling Bear's ute is totally tricked out – it even has flames painted down the sides. He carries his surfboards in the back, ready to surf when the surf's up. Over the top of the picture are the words, 'Toot from the Ute' , and underneath is the Smiling Bear logo.

This design is a celebration of the fact that Smiling Bear comes from Sydney, Australia, a fact he is very proud of. Whether you live in Australia, have been there or even would just really like to go there, this is the perfect design for you. It's cool modern Australiana like you've never seen before, and it's so cute too!

A smile has universal appeal – no matter what your age is, where you live or what language you speak, everybody understands that a smile is a sign of love and happiness. Smiling makes you feel good. Life is definitely better when you smile more, especially when you're thinking of Australia and what a great place it is! Smile More with Smiling Bear.
