Pearfesto (About)

Angry Pear is about pears– their troubles, their joys, and their anger. Angry Pear is a recurring character who is angered by everything and everyone. Can she really be blamed? The strip originally began as a characterization of my own life. I coined the word “pearish” among friends and family as a way of describing peevish, fickle, and often silly behavior.

Drew McKevitt is a knitter and illustrator of pears. This blog’s intention is to show pears in their natural habitat and showcase their pearishness.

Drew also writes poetry and works as an editor. She would much rather live with pears…

You can find / follow me and Angry Pear on Facebook and Twitter.

  1. Hi, Drew! I love your drawings. They’re entertaining and yet oddly relaxing at the same time. The pears — even the disgruntled ones — are all so endearing.

    I came across your site when I entered a recipe for Amaretto-Pear Baked Oatmeal on my site. I’ve happily subscribed. :-)

  2. I’ve been reading Angry Pear for a while now, and I want you to know that I love how consistently you make me smile. There’s a lot about this gentle, strangely perverse, very sweet comic to like. I’m all admiring and stuff.

  3. These are fabulous! I have a cartoon I can’t share because it’s under a different name I don’t want associated, but it has a similar concept: simple images, simple colors, simple props. Done right like this, you can apply them to almost anything can’t you? Great work!!

  4. Very nice blog and very different than most of the blogs that I find. Who would of known that a blog that is all about pears would be so entertaining? This is a really amusing site, and I’ll be sure to come back often to see what the Pears are up to now. PS: I really like the illustrations too.

  5. I simply love these pears. Had no idea pears could be so uplifting, even though they are angry.
    Somehow I can´t seem to subscribe since I get told I don´t have a valid email. Please ad me somehow. rastateacher at gmail.com

    Perfect love!

  6. This is a fantastic blog – your artwork is wonderful and so creative! Thanks for liking my latest post, I’m happy it gave me the chance to find your blog! Looking forward to seeing more pear adventures! :)

  7. I don’t know how Angry Pear feels about blogging awards but I really love this blog and I just wanted to stop in and say congratulations I’d like to pass on The Only Lovely Blog Award to you. I’ve written a post about it and I hope you’re happy with the link I’ve put to your blog. You can find it here.

    • Thanks so much! I actually don’t sell prints right now. I’ve been working on it for a while, but I have trouble with getting the colors just right– hopefully I can make them available in the near future. However, if the pear you are interested in is in black and white, I can definitely make you a print of that. Just contact me by email (angriest[dot]pear[at]gmail[dot]com or on etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/AngryPear .

  9. I’m so excited to find this blog! I started collecting pears when I realised they looked like a big boomby bottom swinging from their stalk. So voluptuous. Now they cover my pillows, hang on my walls, sit on my window sill and arrive by post from relatives. Loving your drawings, and have just commissioned my mother to try and knit me a pear :o )

    • Thank you for visiting my blog! I can completely relate to your love of pears. I have the same fascination and they are all over my house as well it’s always wonderful to hear from someone who appreciates (appearciates) pears as much as I do! I hope the knit pear turns out well! I am working on posting a pattern and / or offering them in my etsy shop soon.
