Points: 134

I present to you: Macklebear, with Whiskerino "W" hoodie.

With that I say farewell to you for now. I hope to stay in touch with all of you. And I'll be back in '09.

Whiskerino has been an adventure for me. It's been a catalyst for my art. I feel fortunate to have participated in this great experiment.

email or g-chat me: phil.barbato at gmail.com. you can also keep up with me at philbarbato dot com, where I occasionally blog about art, life, and whatnot.

Mike says:: hey phil. its a pity that i havent had the opportunity to show my whiskbear... they will be flying right away. i think they will be here this week

great shots and great work with the bears.

see you in 2009

Paragone says:: Amazing work my friend. The V-day whisker-bear was a hit and everyone asks me about my new pins on my camera bag. Keep in touch.

Mackle says:: Yes! A thousand times yes! Please let me know where I can send the money for this little guy immediately. So so good.

I am glad Whiskerino was able to inspire you and that you were able to spread such joy through the proverbial lands with your creations. Keep doing the great thing that you do.. we all appreciate it.

wonder made says:: So good. I want a bear, but I'm broke courtesy the throwdown. I'll find some funds soon to get a custom bear for my kids. Hopefully I can arrange to just pick it up from you next time I'm in Richmond.
Bests!

About:: You can buy whiskerbears from my Etsy store (link above).

I've decided to keep making whiskerbears until I get to the original total goal I set for myself, which was one per day of Whiskerino or 121, so keep those orders coming. I'll keep posting pics of all my creations on Flickr (flickr.com/philbarbato).

I'm going to be at SXSW Interactive this year. Anyone else going?

I'd love to stay in touch with everyone. you can email me at phil [dot] barbato [at] gmail [dot] com.
