January 7 - Loopy Bearz

Always respect Mother Nature. Especially when she weighs 400 pounds and is guarding her baby.

~ James Rollins

These bears use the David Brenn Loopy Headz base design.

The simple concepts are great in so many ways.  Kind of like using a doodle to draw a picture from, you can pick two or three colors to use before deciding what to even create.  

I tried playing around with a couple different body styles (or pseudo-styles).  This is really a good minimalistic form to hang accessories on, which gives you the ability to make it as complex as you want it to be and/or have time for.

The polar bear is an homage in part to a balloon Matt Falloon showed during Q Convention 2020.  Matt, as always, brilliant in all he does - I'm looking forward to, but I am definitely not ready to try whatever finger burners he has been up to in the past years.
