Camo Bear is a very talented animal: he can surf, ski and ride a BMX like a pro. An he also loves photography! This big, funny, camouflage bear is the superstar of a very original viral campaign launching the brand new Nikon COOLPIX AW100 camera, which is shock proof, freeze proof and water proof. If you like adventure, speed, and extreme sports, and you wanna be sure to take amazing shots, this is the definetely the device for you.

But who’s behind the bear costume? Be sure to watch the making of the video to see freestyle skier Julien Lange, bike rider Daniel Americo and surfer Miguel Fortes dressing the part of the reckless, crazy bear…

Gloomy. The Naughty Grizzly

Gloomy. The Naughty Grizzly is a controversial character designed by Japanese artist Mori Chack:

“GLOOMY” is Pity’s pet bear. His height is about 7 ft. He is well trained…except he has a hard time remembering not to attack humans.”

By the way, if you’re not afraid of him, you can buy a plush version from our shop :-)

Teddy Bear Natural History, a project by Stephanie Metz
I’m totally in love with those felted skulls!!

“Teddy bears at first appear trivial. They are toys—playthings for children and symbols of innocence, comfort, and nostalgia. But the teddy bear is also a metaphor for the way humans manipulate the natural world to our own ends. The teddy bear is an idea: a docile, cute, friendly invention far removed from the wild animal that inspired it. I create teddy bear anatomical specimens with a pretense of realness to emphasize the artifice of a familiar but unconsidered subject (…) The anatomy of the teddy bear is wholly planned by its creator to appeal to the biological response of human adults to care for their cute, round-featured, helpless babies. The manufacture of teddy bears is a blueprint for bioengineering trends that are taking place today—without the biology.  But the sharp canine teeth in a teddy bear skull serve as a reminder that nature can only be tamed to a point.”
