An artist who recently inspired me (aside from the ones I saw the documentaries on) is Phil Lumbang in LA. These are a few pieces of his; first saw his little bear artwork in SF a few yrs ago (@ Giant Robot -which has since been closed.. booo!).
His lil bears are simply the cutest I’ve seen, and his message comes through in his art 🙂
