Upside-down Bear Pencil Case: click on the bear to see some more bad drawings


This is a bear pencil case I bought off some trendy 19 year-old kid with a fin haircut and stupid jeans in Brick Lane a few years ago. Me and Yol had somehow ended up there on a Sunday morning (to get beigels no doubt) and there was this guy selling off what looked like his childhood all laid out on a blanket. I think since moving to London he'd developed a drug habit or simply acute embarrassment about his former pre-cool life. I liked it and the transaction was done for 50p. I think it might have been hand-made by his mum. It now has a Robert Crumb badge, a solvent abuse badge and a St Joseph's Hospice Keyring attached to it. And yes, it is meant to be upside down.
