Red. The Black Bear. You might say he's a little "empty". He's sweet as pie, but dumb, dumb, dumb. Bribe him with berries and wine and he'll love you forever.
Ok, sorta cheated this week. No time to draw for Illo Friday right now so I had to dig up something from my files. This lil' character was created (amongst many) for a show I was developing a couple years back. The pitch got good reviews, overall, but it never found a home. waaaaa! My friend Al and I had a great time working on it though. We laughed, we cried and a little like our pal, Red the Black Bear...we consumed much vino too.
112 comments:
Yea! I am happy to re-introduced to Big Red! I loved your whole concept for the pitch. I must admit the Yeti was my favorite character you designed for that show.
Best,
Steve
Excellent.
I wouldn't mind killing a bottle with big red myself.Bet he has good taste.
love his arms
That's a shame you never got a show for Red - he's a cutie! Love his prickly fur.
Bear is cute. I like he’s little ears sticking up like that. So what’s that fish up to then? Looks like he’s having a bit of a chat with someone outside the picture! Perhaps he has had a few sneaky swigs of the poor bear’s wine and is now at that have-I-ever-told-you-?-you’re-sound-man-you’re-sound-you-are stage.
Sorry about that. I think I got a bit carried away there; it’s very late at night here so please excuse me.
Hurray! Red strikes again! Strikes out, maybe? I always liked Bunny's pink fur, but Red always seemed like he'd be a sweet friend. His head may be empty, but I'll bet his heart isn't, hmm?
jaja funnier than joggy bear :D
Additional opinion: I don't think you need be apologetic about drawing from your archives for IF, Paige. I think your position's an enviable one. Having an archive full of images ready for action is a testament to your unstoppable creativity! Neat-o!

Great blog site, lots of info really liked it.
I have a Ceiling Fan With All Wood site/blog. It pretty much covers Ceiling Fan With All Wood related stuff.
Come and check mine out if you get time.
What an adorable painting. I especially like the look on his face as he gazes at the berries and wine.
Ah, I remember Red. I always thought he, and the other characters, were super cute. Shame really that they never got picked up, they would have made for such a great show. Still, its good to see him again. Love the tree trunk table
hi...do you design greeting cards? i am a fellow artist and just stumbled across your site. will be back. peace, inky
I've never seen him. Where the heck was I. I never get to see the cool stuff. Well.. until now I mean. Cool bear. Now I don't feel so empty.
ooh, Red's cute! haha..
We all love the little characters we have created, even though they may not have found a worthy 'home', yet. But they'll always have a special place in the heart of the creators :-)
wow - I'm loving your art. When the signed copies go on sale be sure to mention it in your blog.
wonderful art.
Ahh - finally, an artiste true and true of the drawing / doodling kind... Greetings my dear! Me, I am, verily, a mere artist of the written word...

Vastly different from ESP, I assure thee... *lol* (E.F.P. simply means that I am fluent in English, French and Portuguese! :).
Stop by my blog sometimes - hope we can WORK TOGETHER eventually... words need visuals and the opposite can be true too - with the right project! ;)
Ah yes, I remember Red also. Whatever you put out there Paige, it's always good.
wow, I love Red the Black Bear. He looks so cute. I'll give him some food so he'll love me forever. Sweet.

You have a riveting web log

May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient

as your revering audience.
Please remember to never

existence for their quintessence.

A time to scatter stones

A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear

that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."

I feel the same way as Red looks sometimes.
I was just perusing your blog and I just love your illustrations! They have such a unique, yet nostalgic look to them. Art has never been my thing, though I always wanted to have that gift. (Unfortunately, I have a tendency to screw up a stick figure!)
I look forward to seeing more of your work!
:)
i as well am one of those aimless wanders of the 'net who just happened to stumble across to your blog. love it. question question though: exactly how do you make your drawings? like do you use oil, pastel, watercolor? what do you use? anyhoo keep it and visit my blog when you have the time.

Paige, love your bear, Red. He does look pretty "empty"! I've been keeping up with your blog for awhile now, and I've finally decided to participate in Illo Friday, too. Check out my blog sometime if you get a chance: http://whitneyandrobert.blogspot.com/.

There is so much happiness in your illustrations, Paige! Even the dead fish that is going to be consumed is content in its fate! Excellent piece as always.
Okay,
If I had half your talent I might be able sell better shirts of cafepress.
Keep up the cool drawings, I mean, they are great.
You drawings are really good, I did try to become a cartoonist once but I had to abandon ship because of my school work and also I wasn't that good.
I particularly like your bear
Hi Paige,
I've been told that you could help.
I'm trying to replace my blog title by a graphic i created but though i can now get rid of the title, the graphic doesn't seem to take the good place.
Could you help?
Thanx

The big brown guy reminds me of the yeti in Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, only brown.
I just ran across your blog. Good Lord...could you be any more talented?
Hi!
