Inside Out Teddy Bears

Kent_Rogowski_Bears_36

Bears, is a series of portraits of the most unusual sort: ordinary teddy bears that have been turned inside out and restuffed.

Each animal’s appearance is determined by the necessities of the manufacturing process.

Simple patterns and devices never meant to be seen are now prominent physical characteristics, giving each one a distinctly quirky personality: their fasteners become eyes, their seams become scars, and their stuffing creeps out in the most unexpected places.

Some fantastic fodder for a horror movie or three here.

Great. Now I am going to have nightmares about being trapped by clowns with only my army of inside-out teddy bears to defend me.

Via Kent Rogowski with tons more.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
