Big Bauer the Builder Bear is over 5 ft tall including his hard hat, and on the wood deck built by Bruce Bauer Lumber he topped six feet tall. His shirt is made using house plans, and he wears jeans and has an authentic tool belt also donated by Bruce Bauer and altered to fit his 52 inch waist.
Little Cupcake is the world's sweetest bear! He carries his own giant cupcake, and wears a little cupcake on his head like a jaunty cap. his chef's jacket is covered with images of different kinds and flavors of cupcakes, and he carries a small spatula. The red scarf and striped pants finish out his sous-chef look.
Los Altos Bears
In 2021 the city of Los Altos was treated to a parade of colorful bears, through the efforts of Los Altos Rotary Club. This was a fundraiser which was also developed to bring visitors back into the little downtown of Los Altos following a year of ‘hibernation’ from the COVID-19 lockdown. I developed and painted/sculpted three bears for the occasion. One of them, named Cupcake, generated a bidding war which delighted everyone, including me. These little fellas were hard work but they were so much fun, I hope to do more projects like this in the future.
