We are thankful for much and this weekend have been reflecting a lot on what a pleasure it is to have this small business. We value your support and feedback so much and realize that not everyone is on board with self promoting, but this tool has allowed us to work with so many incredible people and projects. We are thankful to have the opportunity to work and breathe and create together as husband and wife. 🍂 Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving weekend and thanks for supporting small businesses like ours! #SmallBusinessSaturday

Day two in the city for @thecopperhen. Loving how these new cocktail designs are coming along.

It was a really beautiful day in the city and really loving how these are turning out! @thecopperhen

Working with gold today in the studio and falling in love fast. ✨

The cutest and smallest chalk artist we've ever seen. #minouxwilder

Created this quick little piece in the studio today to remind ourselves to be courageous and punch fear in the face. We are facing some big decisions and turning points as a little two person company. We have some really big dreams and scary issues we are wanting to tackle and make people think about (including ourselves 😁). We know it'll scare some people away. We know it'll attract more "haters". We have to decide whether we are going to stay in our comfort zone or use this platform to make us all confront the ugliness and corruption that still lies in many crevices of our society. Our actions show us what we truly believe deep within your unconscious mind. If we want to know our true beliefs, we must examine our behavior. So we have to ask ourselves, if I am so bothered by some injustice, some issue, some problem in the world...why am I doing nothing about it? The only conclusion is that I don't really, truly care enough to take action. "It's unsettling, but not THAT unsettling." Personally, we are tired of talking and want to start doing more. This quote is by the one and only Jim Carrey and while it could be applied to so many different areas in life, this is how it's affecting us today. ✌️

We had so much fun on Saturday night creating this piece live on Periscope with musician @jeremylardani! It was actually pretty nerve wracking and it stretched us both a ton. There was a little bit of awkward and a whole lot of good. A huge thanks to all who tuned in, asked questions and hung out with us!

Tonight! 8pm! Download the Periscope app, follow us and @JeremyLardani. We'll be hanging out, hearing performances by musician Jeremy Lardani, and we'll be doing some floral and chalk work out at the studio. Cozy up on your couch with some candy and join us!

Come hang out with us this Saturday evening for 🎃Halloween🎃 on Periscope and watch us create a live chalk piece! So excited to be joined by musician Jeremy Lardani for the evening. Find us both on Periscope (@BearFoxChalk + @JeremyLardani), grab a cozy drink and follow along for lots of chalk, a little bit of talk and one of our favorite musicians.

Excellent day at @libertinempls for @tanquerayusa for the launch of their Bloomsbury Gin!

Hey everyone. It's the Bear. Today marks 5 years since the Fox and I were married at a lovely outdoor ceremony. This piece holds special significance to me, especially today. I first met Johnna in 7th grade and I knew, even back then, that this was someone I should have be a part of my life. The energy surrounding her affected me so much, I just knew somewhere in the back of my mind that if I stick with her big things and greatness would happen in our lives. I try my best to listen to my intuitions in life and I don't always succeed with doing that. This is one time I am so very glad I never doubted that feeling and told myself there would be "other fish in the sea" (or foxes?). Here's to you Fox and our grand adventure. I love you more than you know and I wouldn't trade it for the world. My intuition is that the next 5 years will be even greater. TL;DR version: Fox is the best and I love her.

Gearing up for tonight's @cariboucoffee event! Fueling with their new Crafted Press. (us, not her) Hope to see you there! #cariboucoffee Peavey Plaza, 4:00pm Chalk Installation

In process shot from the latest piece. We ended up really liking the gold color mixed with the chalk and definitely want to keep experimenting with this. 🔱

Sharing a little about the Bear and the Fox. Sometimes life running our own business is insane and we question all the work involved, the long hours and effort, but most days we stop and look at each other and can't believe we actually get to do this for a living. A few years ago when we didn't really know what was ahead, Max applied to Whole Foods to be their FT chalk artist and didn't get the job. In starting BFC we made huge, weird sacrifices like being caretakers at an apartment building to save money so we could start this company. And now we are so thankful everyday to work together and be with each other and couldn't be more grateful to so many people for believing in us and supporting us so far. It's always exciting to not really quite know what's ahead, but to just keep doing what we love with those we love around us. We couldn't really ask for much more. #BearFoxChalk

Work days together are the best.

In process for a piece on that new website that we have been talking about for weeks now. We mean months, no wait years, .. Wait no that's crazy. We are so thrilled to be working with @olivialansingherrick now on this website project and pumped about the design talent she has.
