Bear Necessities
A group of 11 artists took these Bearbricks and transformed them into masterpieces we can't live without
The Art Project is one of our favorite sections of the magazine. Each issue we get to collaborate with a group of our favorite artists and challenge them to “make a thing.” Admittedly that may not be the world’s most helpful advice, but when you give artists creative freedom, good things usually happen. This time around we sent out some blank Bearbricks and were stunned by how insanely talented these artists are. Check them out below!
