The artists behind
Bear Annihilator, a local apparel brand, say they're dedicated to producing the "
highest quality mutant, robotic, over-sized and irate-bear related clothing in the world." We're just happy they blog about it, too.
The Bear Annihilator brand was born in 2008. Its designs are a blend of street, skate and surf-styles and are printed on T-shirts, decks, and posters that are sold through the website, which, you guessed it, is also the home to the blog.
Always wanted to see a base jumper on fire, the latest mash-up video of a popular tune or just a ton of killer bear cartoon eye candy? These guys have it all in one place.
Perhaps our favorite part of the blog are the featured pieces on street sports. Because much of their apparel is made for skaters and bike fanatics, they also post a ton of skate videos and bike pictures.
It may not be enough to really satify the want to go outside and do something, but it beats checking e-mail and makes 5 p.m. come around a little bit faster. Here's just a taste:
The Bear Annihilator team says they'll keep the blog running as long as they can find inspiration around the Valley and on the web -- and we have a feeling they'll have plenty to work with for quite some time.
