Is it just me, or do you love your old teddies just as much as I still love mine?

About Me
- Karen Cheung
- United Kingdom
- Hello! I am an illustrator, animator and artist based in the UK. I am represented by Jelly London. Please visit my portfolio here. I like to draw freaks and monsters, or animals with personality disorders - these are the kind of people I find interesting. I love vintage homewares, going to auctions and wearing bad knitwear.
The name Alternative Eagle comes from a childish, deliberate mispronunciation of 'alter ego'. Best not to ask exactly how that came about - you'd probably think I'm mad. Thank you for stopping by. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome :-) Read more about me here.

awhhhhh!
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything form my childhood. :-( (we moved a lot: military and all that). My daughter, though, was given the perfect tiny bear when she was born (from the uncle of my au-pair kids in France) and she still has it. It has gone everywhere with her - school trips, family camping trips, WWOOFing, Thailand - and now it's all settled at her side in Ottawa. There's not much left of him - she patched him with bits of a pink terrycloth bathrobe at one point - but he is so beloved. That's him on the very left:

P.S. I wish you sold prints of more of your drawings. This one is simply irresistible. So many are.
ReplyDeleteoh, Lynn, I'm sorry you didn't manage to keep anything from your childhood. Having an old toy is so silly, but special :-) Your daughter's bear and blog are super-cute - the patched bear reminds me of the story of the Velveteen Rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to put more prints up for sale - I've been a bit lazy on the shop front recently. I'm so pleased you like this drawing. It just seemed right the other day :-) x
