Nice that all the proceeds went to the Swiss Red Cross, not many book proceeds go to charities like that. Very interested to hear about the full size costumes you made, sounds great fun. Do you have photos from this time? Would love to see images from the book you still have, fantastic. Shame the funds ran out would of loved to have bought that.<br />All the best<br />PaulPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-31876108676463153042011-06-28T23:14:32.285+00:002011-06-28T23:14:32.285+00:00Greetings Cobwebbers.

Together with the other miscreants (George, Mike and Casper) we did quite a few mad projects!<br />This books did hit the shops and all the profits went to The Swiss Red Cross to fund a refugee camp in the Sudan... noble 'right-on' ghoolies them Scare Bears. We made some full size costumes as well and started work on a book that would be part infra-red photography and part illustration... but the cash ran out!<br />I've still got a copy in the attic :-)<br />All the best<br />LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-45130066669418552222011-04-06T21:50:19.749+00:002011-04-06T21:50:19.749+00:00Hi Mike

Did any of these copies end up in the shops? Would love to find one of those.<br />Which pages did yourself and Caspar work on, was it all the non-scarebear parts?<br />Nice to hear that you are both doing ok.<br />Thanks for visiting The Cobwebbed Room.<br />Glad you enjoyed your brief bit of nostalgia.<br />All the bestPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-1798599828007505452011-04-06T21:44:13.505+00:002011-04-06T21:44:13.505+00:00Hi Caspar

You may be interested to know that the book was originally designed to be a glow-in-the-dark book...and although a few copies were made that way, it was so expensive that it ended up as a standard version. The original Scare Bears artist was scouse legend George Nicholas who was a genuine force of nature! Myself and Caspar kind of 'inherited' the Scare Bears from him. Nowdays I am a mere graphic designer, while Caspar stars still shines brightly as a brilliant illustrator and graphic novelist.<br />Thanks for the brief wave of nostalgia!Mike Gibasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-31305546410911148452011-03-26T21:41:19.860+00:002011-03-26T21:41:19.860+00:00Nice to see this again for the first time in years...Nice to see this again for the first time in years. I often wonder what happened to me as well. I'm not drawing monsters nowadays, but I am at least still drawing - see www.casparwilliams.com.<br />Mike runs a design studio called Nomad Graphique in deepest darkest, er, Hertfordshire. Mike & I didn't do all the Scare Bears artwork - as I recall, a lot of it was done by George Nicholas.Casparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173076840562762680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-25645362881567983002010-07-15T22:18:50.578+00:002010-07-15T22:18:50.578+00:00Hi Peter

Maybe put some more pictures up from the book sometime. I didn't know Casper Williams and Mike Gibas did all the Scare Bears artwork. I thought there would be something about them on the net. I'll let you know if I find anything on them.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-54948922962630333402010-07-13T08:09:42.388+00:002010-07-13T08:09:42.388+00:00Thanks for posting that Paul!
