I enjoy working with Photography and Photographic Digital Restoration of various kinds. If you have family photos that you need to have preserved and restored, or enhanced, please drop me an email or visit my new website for more information. I can do anything from colorizing black and white photos, to repairing heavily damaged family heirlooms
I have always been into various arts and crafts I also enjoy pastel drawing and sculpture so those will be worked into my gallery later as well.
As far as hobbies go...
stomping around in creeks way away from the city - every chance I get :), taking pictures out in nature, (lots and lots of pictures)really good thunderstorms, listening to music, working on my computer projects, collecting lots and lots and lots of gargoyles (I have about 130), and reading (when I can). I am also lucky enough to be getting the chance to embrace this art stuff to my hearts content (pretty much) with the * update* drawing, painting, of course more photoshop courses, and now with the addition of my kiln and other such goodies...I am still waiting to get the kiln hooked up, wont be too long though. :)

Anybody willing to make their lives better by actually putting forth effort, and not just expecting it to magically happen, or waiting for it to be given to them. Stand on your own! The only way we will be better is by actually striving towards it.

Everybody come out and have a great time at the 18th Annual UnPlaza Art Fair! It will be Saturday, September 26th from 10am - 6pm & Sunday, September 27th from 12pm - 5pm. Located at 4501 Walnut St KCMO 1 block East of Main. The Plaza Art Fair is also that weekend and quite nearby, so be sure to check out all the great stuff. Be sure to look for the Bear's Wares booth for beautiful photography and other art. I look forward to seeing you there!
I am currently attending KCKCC and working towards my associates in visual arts and business. So far so good. Between work and school, I hardly have a moment to breathe some days, but it will all pay off in the end. Slowly I am introducing pieces that I have done for sale, and you may even see me at some local art shows which I will update as they come along.
Thank you to everyone that came to the West Wyandotte Reception. I would also like to thank KCKCC for purchasing one of my pieces for their permanent collection. I am proud to be a part of it.
One of my favorite things is to do is photography, (an understatement for sure)so...
Check out my Flickr page. Lots of great shots.
Hope you enjoy. Also, feel free to give your opinions :)
Also, check out my site at snappages. You can find me at www.missbear.snappages.com If you need photo restorastion/enhancements done, email me for more info.
Who I'd like to meet: More local artists & other such interesting folk.
People that actually want to move forward in life and not sit & rot in their own stagnant pool of devolution.- In other words, people NOT pushing us closer to Idiocracy.
I've been disappointed by far too many of those.
People that don't suck... and more kooky, artsy people...they are always a lot of fun ;P
That should pretty much cover it.....I do have a brother that I would like to hear from, Christopher Joseph Avalos, CJo [he's the cutest little redhead on the planet :)].If you're out there, know that I miss u & I luv u ...
