Introducing Angry Pear needlepoint canvases and kits!

This winter, I collaborated with Barbara Russell of Barbara Russell Needlepoint Designs to convert some of my pear drawings into needlepoint painted canvases. She picked six of my favorite illustrations. So exciting! Here are the ones she picked:

Cleopeartra:

Pears like Wine:

Pampeared:

The canvases have turned out beautifully! You can purchase the canvases (and kits with threads) from Barbara Russell’s website under the pear people collection. I used to do a lot of needlepoint when I was younger, and I can’t wait to try these!

I’ll post pictures after I’ve finished one of these. I just can’t figure out which one I want. Probably Pampeared.

Maybe you would like to shop for some pear stuff (pear-aphernalia)? Check out my Angry Pear Etsy shop! I make everything myself!

Easter Photo Shoot 2013

Last year I made this comic about taking Easter photos of Beatrice (my rabbit). I redid it in black and white for the mini comic Pear and Rabbit.

This year, I wanted to share some of the pictures of Beatrice.

As evidenced in this behind the scenes video, Beatrice will not be stereotyped! She does not like eggs, and she does not like Easter! Despite her reluctance, we got some very cute pictures.
