The Bear Collaborations

So, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a fantastic person named Lila Bailey, my sister-in-law, who lives in a sick apartment that is lovingly curated in the Haight-Ashbury San Francisco.  She absolutely adores her niece and nephews! Especially now that she has a fresh one - little Peter Muffin Man, aka: SUMO BABY.  Lila has been a fan of my work since she first saw it and wanted to commission me to make a sweet bear for her bedroom with her hubby Derrek.  Once we got to talking though she actually wanted every bear on Pinterest she ever pinned, SO, what else to do but make several?!   And the bears were thus born from this desire to fullfill every possible concept we really felt good about.  Sarcastic, colorful, sweet, fun, silly, joyful, modern, simple, textured, and everything in between.
