It's an inkjet print on watercolor paper. The piece behind me is the very first bear I ever did. I found new versions online every day from the Deadheads, who uploaded images of T-shirts, bumper stickers, and badges to their webstores. I found different versions of the bear when I researched it a little and I started collecting them. My dad listened to the Grateful Dead when I was younger, but I wasn't aware of the bear until my friends made flyers with it on them, to advertise a party where they were dj-ing, and I thought the bear looked funny. TB: The first time I came across the bear was in 2011. JS: If you made that in art school, then you've been working with the bears for nearly a decade? JS: There are a lot of artists who live with their own work, which I've always thought is a little weird. I gave this to him a few years ago when I was in art school, and he hung it behind his desk, where it still is. That's not something I have in my own house (laughs). Tina Braegger (TB): I'm in my dad's office at my parents' house. Jordan Stein (JS): Tina! Where are you? And what’s that tiny bear in the background?
