Make: Online : Lawrence Argent's big blue bear

Lawrence Argent's big blue bear

How'd you like to come into the office some morning and open your blinds to see this guy peering in at you? Artist Lawrence Argent made this huge blue bear for the Denver Convention Center. There are links to a short video of the installation at the bottom of this article. (There was a longer video presented at Maker Faire in 2006 - wish I'd seen it!)

WOW..

OMG that is great. If I came to work and saw that it would make my day. Truly awsome.

You can own your own Blue Bear!

I Love the Blue Bear! Did you know there will be a website that sells the bears?
Go to www.thebigbluebeardenver.com
Now this really is public art!

Did you know you can purchase your own blue bear?

Go to www.thebigbluebeardenver.com and you can buy exact replicas
of the 40ft blue bear. Ok, they are not 40ft but very cool.
I love the key chains too!
