Glam Rock Bear

I wish glam rock was still prevalent today, you just don't see it as much as you used to. There is just something so cool to me about people who can glam it up and still be a huge rock star. So in honor of those few I made a little ziggy beardust. You can check him out here.

The Butler Did It

I really love giving my bears mustaches, I think they are really cool. So it seemed appropriate to give this butler bear one, it goes with his bow tie. To see more of him go here.

Purple Heart

My latest bear I have to admit was kind of a pain in the ass to make. The swirl faux fur that I used to make it has a very sturdy backside that is makes it like trying to sew carpeting. However the cloth is so cool and soft that it's totally worth it. If you want to see more pictures go here.

Three Dimensional

I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of the new 3D movie wave. I mean does every movie have to be altered to 3D just to make a quick buck? Unfortunately the new glasses don’t work for me, the image just looks blurred and after a while it gives me a headache. I see what Avatar was trying to do, but every other 3D film I’ve seen just seems to use it ineffectively. So as a way of recapturing my childhood, I made a teddy bear with the old style 3D glasses. To see more of him go here.

The F Bomb

I got the idea for this toy a couple years ago actually. My roommates sister has a son and he was turning two years old, at the time she kept telling us to watch our language around the boy. So every time we would drop the F bomb, she said very loudly "F bomb!" So when I was thinking of a present for a two year old, I thought a stuffed profanity would be fun. A couple years later, I decided to make another one. You can see more of it here.

Bear necessities

Making bears out of corduroy is pretty awesome. I really love to utilize a variety of different fabrics when I sew, I think it adds to the originality of each bear. To see more of my latest bear go here.

Bear essentials

I have to say, one of the hardest parts of posting my bears on Etsy is coming up with a decent description. I spend way too long trying to write an interesting, funny quip about each bear. However, while I would never classify myself as any kind of writer, it is a new and interesting creative exercise. If you would like to read my latest work, go here.

Magnum Bear P.I.

This new bear is totally awesome to me, I just love his mustache. It reminds me of the eighties when Tom Selleck and the mustache was huge. I really hope it makes a comeback. If you want to see more of the bear, go here.

Hip to be Square

Just uploaded a new square bear to the Etsy site. It's hard not to get a little attached to these little teddy bears when I make them, I only hope that the new owners will love them as much as I do.

Upside down

So this bear has an interesting story behind it. I was trying to make a bear with a little more bowling pin shape to it and once I cut the fabric thought why not turn it around and make a fat head. So I did and this is the final bear. I like him, he's cute. If you want to see more of him, go here.

Squeak

I made this bear with a squeak toy in the middle. It was definitely an experiment, but I think it turned out very well. If you wanna see it go here.

America, F yeah!

I didn't get to post a drawing for the fourth of July so I'm posting one now. This is a piece I did of Captain America a while back as a portfolio filler. It was fun to draw cap, I'd like to do it again soon.

Rabbit bear

This is a bear I sort of messed up on and made his ears too long so now I'm calling him a rabbit instead. Check him out here.

Olive Branch
