Wow! How the hell did I not remember that, somehow, I had a pic of this? I thought it was lost years ago. Hell. Not sure where it is now. Magic! Marvel Comics letter reply that I received back when my buddy Ed (RIP) and I sent in some character drawings. Sorta not so good as I recall, but still. I’d say this is a rejection, but maybe that’s not fair all around. What I sent was unsolicited 😊). But there was initiative by God! I always say: As I was getting out of the Army I had an epiphany that I wanted to be an artist. While that’s true - I was always out there doing my thing, even as a little kid. #artlife #fredfleisherartist #rejectionletters #artistsjourney #americanartist

Bears everywhere! Large plush bear and other one like it used in sculpture and installations. Carebears, Pooh and Polar bear too. Work from various exhibitions- ISE Foundation, Concepto solo in Hudson and work included in other exhibitions over a number of years. From environmental outlook, cultural framings, political ramifications and gentrification/disneyification. The bear as a symbol of what was and what becomes is something that has always been there for me. #fredfleisherart #fredfleisherartist #sculpture #plushtoysinart #plushbears

Some sculptures from the past 10 - 15 years. These continue to inform me in my direction with sculpture and installation. Exhibited at various venues. Will share more soon. Lion & Lamb, Kids Are Alright and Freaky. All: found objects, wire, glue and thread. Images shown on white background. #fredfleisherart #fredfleisherartist #sculpture #toysinart #contemporaryart

Daily drawing/idea on 7x10 inch Canson Mixed Media Paper. Just started and invented what it would be. Will take this approach into more of what I am doing. #fredfleisherart #fredfleisherartist #dailydrawing #inkdrawing #brooklynartist

Woke up today thinking of these five things and wrote down my thoughts. Purpose, Wonder, Being, Equality, Equity. Put through the graphic novel style I have been using with chat. Considering how these can possibly be a wrap at the end of the graphic novel I continue to work on. Establishing larger, shared societal views is crucial to the individual journey thematic that runs along in my thinking. #thoughtsonlife #purpose #graphicnovelstyle #fredfleisherart #thejourney
