A Bear's Life

Part comedic and part drama photographic comic book, A Bear's Life: Teenage Stuffed Animal Angst is a portrait of a stuffed animal named Bear and his struggles as a teenager in a world that doesn't understand him. While many of the parts do seem rather hilarious, A Bear's Life contains realistic undertones that many of today's youth experiences first hand, from trouble-some parents to drug-addiction, to homelessness, to being the bear that the other little critters like to pick on. Somehow in someway, Bear has to overcome the dangers and traps of being a teenager and find if the grass is indeed greener on the other side. A Bear's Life: Teenage Stuffed Animal Angst was captured on digital photographic images on various locations around the Portland, Oregon Metro area, enhanced, and transferred over to comic book style, using realistic poetic words at time in order to appropriately express the true emotions that many youths go through.
