For the love of pears!
I started drawing the comic strip, Angry Pear (www.angriestpear.com), a little over two years ago. Initially it began as a characterization of my own life. I coined the word "pearish" among friends and family as a way of describing peevish, fickle and often silly behavior. It's part autobiography, part slapstick with a lot of puns and childlike silliness. A little while later, I started making cards and little polymer pears. I keep adding new pears and new cards as I go forward.
I have been collecting pears for some years now. Some people collect owls, some collect chickens, or teacups, I collect pears. Not a birthday or gift-giving / receiving holiday goes by that someone doesn't give me a pear or something with a pear on it. I love it. However, I have noticed in my years of collecting that there is a serious lack of representation ( repearsentation ) in the marketplace, especially when compared to the amount of apple-related items and knick knacks out there. So I started this shop.
