Kevin Peterson, Coalition II
Used for the cover of "The Getaway" - Red Hot Chili Peppers album

Artist Statement:
My work is about the varied journeys we take through life. It’s about growing up and living in a world that is broken. These paintings are about trauma, fear and loneliness and the strength that it takes to survive and thrive. They each contain the contrast of the untainted, young and innocent against a backdrop of a worn, ragged, and defiled world. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension versus slack are all themes that I often visit. My work deals with isolation, loneliness and longing teamed with a level of optimistic hope. Issues of race and the division of wealth have arisen in my recent work. This work deals with the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behavior.

Teddy Bears and the Grown-Ups Who Love Them

Teddy land: Teddy Bears and the Grown-Ups Who Love Them

Sort of Cute, Sort of Creepy Teddy Bears and the Grown-Ups Who Love Them

Nobel Peace Prize winner, Medal of Honor recipient, New York City police commissioner, America's youngest president, Mount Rushmore visage, Dakota cowboy, trust-buster – Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, Jr., packed so much living into his 60 years on earth that the phrase "larger than life" sometimes seems to have been coined expressly for him.

But it's as the man who inspired a fluffy bedtime toy that Roosevelt left one of his most enduring legacies. On a hunting trip in 1902 (so the story goes) the young president refused to shoot a black bear – a refusal somewhat at odds with the man's well-earned reputation as a hunter who killed countless birds and beasts, without compunction, for decades. At any rate, a toymaker in New York learned of T.R.'s merciful moment and, inspired, created a toy bear – a "teddy bear." (Roosevelt, incidentally, always despised the name Teddy.) The bear was an immediate hit, and for the past century has remained one of the tried and true emblems of childhood.

In December 1970, LIFE featured a number of adults who, long years after their childhoods had ended, still retained a fondness for the fluffy companions of their youth. The resulting photos by Nina Leen are somehow sweet and, at the same time, just a little bit unsettling.

Three bears

Three black bears broke into a pizza shop, nabbing trays of dough and a chunk of salami before leaving. The tree bears broke into a window at front of the Colorado pizza shop. The trespassers chose their diet wisely. After August black bears enter "hyperphagia" and carbo-load to pack on pounds for hibernation. "Many bears actively forage up to 20 hours per day during the fall feeding frenzy," wildlife officials say. Restaurant staff "tossed product, sanitized, re-stoked," and were back open for business the next day. A few dough trays also had to be bent back into shape. "It was really fun to come into that one." Tony Francher co-owner of Antonio's Real New York Pizza

Giardia Lamblia

Teddy land: Giardia Lamblia
I am smiling from within :)

My duodenum became a shelter for these guys after less than a moth into our trip in India. It is characterized with explosive diarrhea, gases and losing control over any bodily functions and dignity. I took Metronidazole but most probably got infected again, because the symptoms persisted. It is only after I came back to Vienna that I realized the cosmic message I have been sent - I am full with smiley faces, maybe because I am so sulky. Can you freaking believe it that this is what lamblia looks like? I have been invaded by emoticons! Even my parasites are a joke. This is something you can imagine been infected by a clown, but beaver fever?

Tracking the sources of Gang. Pindari joins Alaknanda in Karanprayag, continue as Alaknanda (the biggest of the two) in Rishikesh, big ayurveda na yoga center, and then in Haridwar the river becomes Gang. I feel the lens of my third eye widen, and so many chakras opened that is getting drafty in there. I am not sure if the wind I am passing is caused by the the opening of so many chakras at once or the Indian cuisine.

Nanda Devi

Teddy Land: Nanda Devi

Nanda Devi 7,816 m (25,643 ft) is my personal record for a highest mountain I've SEEN. It's the one on the right that always looks smaller than Nanda Devi East 7,434 m because it is always further behind and more secretive this way. Nanda Devi is not permitted to climb, permits are given only for Nanda Devi East but the goddess of the mountain is very proud and unforgiving, and there is a legend that men that go there end up in freak accidents without graves. If you have seen Polish Himalayas the members of the Polish expedition in 1939 to Nanda Devi East all perish two in mountaineering accidents years after and the third member disappeared during the war all three bodies not recovered. When we were the closest to the mountain she always shrouded herself in clouds and in the middle of the night at a sky full with stars Nanda Devi gave us the most incredible lightening show I have ever seen. It looks like we angered her.

Himalayas (a déjà vu)

In the 1 year anniversary of our cancelled trip to Sumatra it is all happening again:

  1. We bought tickets for 2 month dream trip starting May 1st.
    2016 - Sumatra / 2017 - Indian Himalayas
  2. Juri is on the verge of exaction and desperation after continuous home renovation. He gets to the point of falling unconscious rather than asleep at night.
    2016 - new kitchen for his father / 2017 - painting and refurbishing one of the apartments
  3. The annual grill party on Danube is on same date every year - 4 days before the departure. Bulgarians gather, barbecue and drink on the bank of Danube river.
  4. Drago is coming to Vienna. He has birthday a couple of days before the grill and brings good alcohol to celebrate. Drago is a very good friend but it just so happens to be always present when Juri breaks a bone. In 2008 Drago started a brawl in Kabata hut in Rhodopes mountains where Juri got 3 ribs fractured trying to break up the fight with the locals.

Last year I packed 4 beers for the grill and Juri asked why am I taking so much alcohol. I said: "What do you mean?" Juri is a designated firestarter. Everybody knows (including him) that he can't lit a campfire in the wilderness for the love of his life, but at the grill the party begins earlier for him, he gets all smoked up, and the beers were finished before the meаt was on the grill. Then he continued with wine, vodka and the whiskey Drago brought. On the question did he need a ride home Juri answered that he is going to get on his "silver horse". He fell of the bike and broke his right collar bone in three pieces the middle one floating, so he had to be operated on. I dare not publish any of his X-rays because the EU is going to knock on my door asking for €10 000 000 or 2% of my turnover, whichever is greater according to the effective 2018 General Data Protection Regulation.

We tried to get the flight ticket reimbursed due to emergency cancellation but Fluege.de had bigger fish to fry. I still think our money was in the suitcase found in the wreckage.

The Teddy Bear Project

Teddy Land: The Teddy Bear Project
“The Keeper” exhibition September 2016, The New Museum in New York

Ydessa Hendeles has collected 3000 photographs that only have in common the presence of a teddy bear, the quintessential transitional object for generations of children. The amateur photographs, found mostly on eBay, are arranged in order of posture and social status and are framed and hung from floor to ceiling.

As the artist herself writes “The collection is a reflection of the values of society at the time the photographs were taken. It is notable not only for what it includes but for what is absent. Only one photograph of a child with Down Syndrome was discovered, and only one portrait of a child with a cleft palate.”

“It ends up being about more than the bears themselves,” said Emily Mello, the museum’s associate director of education said, about “how people choose to frame themselves with the bears.” Visitors, she added, can “see how one common object is an entry point for an infinite number of histories.”

Although those histories can be tragic — the teddy bear owners include future Holocaust victims and at least one suicide — others reflect only youthful joy. And while young museumgoers probably won’t recognize Elvis, Ringo or Lucille Ball in their photos, they’ll see that grown-ups posed with teddy bears, too.

Bearly believable

Photo Copyright AlamyCreature of comfort: A third of British adults still sleep with a teddy bear

When Sebastian Flyte took his teddy bear Aloysius to university in Brideshead Revisited it was supposed to be a sign of his eccentricity. But in the years since the 1980s TV dramatization, it seems more and more Britons have come to see nothing wrong with keeping ted in the bed. More than a third of us still hug a childhood soft toy while falling asleep, according to a survey of 6,000 British adults.

More than half of Britons still have a teddy bear from childhood and the average teddy bear is 27 years old. Those who slept with a teddy told researchers that they found it was a comforting and calming way to de-stress at the end of the day. And 25 per cent of men polled said they took their teddy away with them on business because it reminded them of home. Even Prince Charles travels everywhere with his childhood teddy, according to claims in a book by the U.S. writer Christopher Andersen.

Hotel chain Travelodge, which carried out the research, said that in the past year staff have reunited more than 75,000 teddies and their owners. Spokesman Shakila Ahmed said: ‘Interestingly the owners have not just been children, we have had a large number of frantic businessmen and women call us regarding their forgotten teddy bear.’
