The Various and Sundry Travels of Carl the Bear

Carl is a stuffed bear made from remnant bin fur fabric and a whole lotta love--but don't let his humble origins fool you: He's a little bear with big dreams.

Sir Edmund Hillary had Tenzing, Lewis had Clark--and Carl has a photographer with just as much wanderlust as he has.

Collage and Oil, Jackson Pollock, c.1951 Normally I find myself indifferent to Jackson Pollock (yes yes, I understand that there is method to his madness and that it is in reality very difficult to replicate his splatter patterns. Don’t mind me; I don’t “get” a lot of modern art.) However, I really liked this piece and hope you do, too. (That light at the top is of course not from a camera flash and is, instead, an ill-placed lamp) {Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.}
