Hi,

Here’s a little bit about me. My family is from Cambodia which was heavily influenced by the French during the early 1900s. My name, Robert, pronounced in French is Ro-bear (with a French accent). My family shortened it to “Bear” and that was my nickname growing up.

​

I loved drawing as a kid and because my nickname was “Bear,” I drew a lot of bears. One particular bear I kept drawing was a big-headed bear with really long claws. When I created this character back in elementary school, I never thought I’d do anything with him. As I grew older, I didn’t draw as much. It didn’t even cross my mind to make a career out of it. I eventually stopped drawing altogether and put my drawings and imagination to the side. Two decades later, I realized that I should’ve followed my passion.

​

I’m going to take that chance now! I’m bringing my childhood character back! Since I stopped drawing early on, I never improved that skill. Fortunately, while in high school, I learned that I loved writing! And I still do! While I do the creating and writing, I have some talented artists who are helping me bring it to life visually. I hope you guys enjoy it. Whether this goes anywhere or not, I’m just glad I’m finally doing it!

​

Thank you for your support!
