BEAR ANNIHILATOR – Wear the Bear

We’d like to give a huge thanks to everyone that came out and supported the Bear this First Friday. You’ve all helped the Bear get one step closer to world domination, and you’ve all made this company possible.

In other news, all of our products are currently out of stock, however we’ll be restocking a lot of our designs by this friday (2/13), along with a NEW unreleased design. Stay tuned, and always Wear the Bear.

What has happened here was caused by a force entirely beyond the scope of Man’s imagination.

Bear Annihilator always values originality and uniqueness. That’s why we’re constantly evolving, pushing our art in new directions and resigning the old. Rest in peace my friend.

The tremendous support we’ve received from Phoenix’s local businesses, urban culture, and artistic community has helped us reach new heights faster than we could have ever imagined. We’re proud to announce that Bear Annihilator is now carried by Culture Fresh.

Happy New Year you lil bear cubs! We’ve been in business for almost one year, and I’m proud to say that Bear Annihilator has grown larger than our expectations, and evolved into new and exciting directions. We can only thank you, our friends and customers for supporting our company and wearing the bear.

2008 was a memorable year for Bear Annihilator, below are a few of our favorite milestones:

• Becoming carried in Conspire Phoenix, a collectively owned and operated art boutique, espresso bar, library, and neighborhood hangout.
• Expanding our line to 9 different t-shirt designs and one skatedeck.
  

• Moving our shop online, and selling our shirts all over the United States.

2009 will be an even more exciting year, some goals we’re looking forward to are:

• TONS of new designs
• New gear like skatedecks and snowboards.
• Hoodies.
• Becoming carried and distributed by more local and domestic stores.
• Staying true to our brand, our friends and customers.
  

Here are a few unreleased images and shirts that never made it to the press.
