It all started with a tiny sketch, a little teddy bear with a ball gag in his mouth. The reaction that followed enticed me to explore this concept more. Eventually it all led up to this painting marathon that allowed me to bring more ideas to life! It was awesome watching people bond to my misfit characters. Much more than I could have guessed. My feeling is that they represent a naughty streak many of us keep as secrets while maintaining the appearance of innocence. I tried always to keep the misfits expressions confident, like myself, they are flawed but never forced, they have made their decisions and accept all consequences tied to those decisions. They take responsibilities for their actions! That’s what I believe people love about them! Now it’s time for happiness!
