Teddy Bears?

So I have a bunch of leftover fabric from photo shoots I worked on. At first I began making pillows but then from another shoot I acquired some glass eyes. So I decided why not make, I don't know a teddy bear. I searched and searched for a free bear pattern on the internet and turned up fruitless. So I just decided to wing it.

With some dark brown suede I made two attempts the first was too small the second a little bigger. You be the judge. Teddy bear? or CatElephant?

This was just some beautiful light streaming into my living room.

This is to a be the home of my creations sans food. I am an artist and am constantly creating, collecting and transfering a "Mess". I was born in NYC and have lived here ever since, I have tried to escape a few times but have been thwarted by my love for this town. All my important people reside here, and all which I do not know is waiting for me to discover it.

I grew up drawing and painting, which led to photography, film, video, and performance art. Here is where you will get to see it all. In this mess of a blog I will show you what I have been doing for the entirety of my life. This will be a gallery space, a conference room and tomb. To finish the unfinished that I have been amassing for too many years. To show you what I think, who I am, what I make as a result.

I have a digital camera. I like deteriorating surfaces and wish to create my own, but I take pictures of those that I find.
