Mad few weeks...
Afternoon to you...just a quick one - but I thought I'd update you on all the goings on!
The No.1 Bear & The Art of Front
So If you follow my moves regularly...then stop - I'll call the police. Nayyy, of course I mean my interweb movements, well If you do you'll know that the grey 'Bear No.1' T-Shurryyt is now available! I'm beyond happy with this one - the feel of the t-shirt, the placement, and the detail of the finished artwork...
The video...
So I made a last minute decision to film myself drawing, it's not the greatest process video out there - but you get the idea behind how i construct each of my drawings. It's sped up, because If it wasn't...you'd miss your next meal. Hopefully in the distant future, I'll make an even fancier, more thought filled version - not something that resembles the Blair Witch Project...
Obviously this is just an 25 minute sketch, using letraset promarkers...but like I said you get the idea of how it all works!
Anyways stick with it, even it's just for the music! (Beastie Boys).

Also look out for the new 'Bear No.1' T-Shirt that will be available from Feb 1st!......and the new logo T will be available shortly after.
Anyways, all the best for the week - keep it touch & let me know what you think of video!
A week on - Competition Time.
So it's a week on from the website re-launch and it's carried on from where I left off...cracking first week. Everyone's taken to the new 'Steve' T-Shirt like a rat to the sewer. Mr Buscemi seems to have the same effect globally, as each t-shirt sold seems to have stretched to the far corners of the world...well a few have anyways. As if I haven't drilled it into you enough times, do remember that the mentioned T is a definite limited edition of 50 & once sold will never return...that is until you go on holiday to Taiwan & come across a classier replica!
Also, If you'd like to win one & your one of the very few in the world that uses facebook - CLICK HERE - for a chance to win one. For the cool kids who use Tumblr - CLICK HERE - for another chance to win!
In other news - this bad boy is getting printed sharpish, and no your eyes have not deceived you...it's a grey t-shirt...unless your colour blind...then yes your eyes have actually deceived you -----------
My spidey sense tell me this one is going to be 'pop-u-lar', like the only kid who brought a football to school 'pop-u-lar'. So If you'd like to put your name down to reserve one, contact me by smoke signals...If that doesn't work - email me.
This is a pic by my good pal Andrew Sandercock taken of him & his only other pal wearing the 2 classic BearHug T's. He's a quality fella, a true gent & takes some amazing photos - get him added up here - TUMBLR & FLICKR
I get alot of pics sent over of people wearing the t-shirts, so keep sending them & I'll add them to the site with links to your various social good time hotspots.
All the best.
TheBearHug.com Re-Launch!
Howdy & welcome back to newly improved BearHug website! The site will still be under construction as i go, tweaking & changing little things that I won't hve seen - I'm looking to build up the stock & look to add some artist collaborations over the next few months. Making the new site seemed like the inevitable next step, I'm really excited how the idea of the t-shirts has started to build into it's own identity. By now starting to focus on making the BearHug a label, it starts to give the idea alot more scope & freedom - I can start to slightly separate certain area's of my artwork, but still keep a strong connection between the two.
