Afternoon everyone….
A few weeks back I shared a pair of bars that were poured for me by The Bear. He is a silver pouring artist.
I have never met him in person, but had tons of interaction with him years back. He was a very prominent silver pourer in the YouTube silver pouring community years back. He was also apart of the Metals Mafia which was a handful of master pourers ran by Pit Bullion.
I don’t know what exactly happened but there was a falling out between them and The Bear went on his own.
Shortly after that all of the silver pouring community left YouTube and went over to Instagram instead. While I have an Instagram account, I really don’t know how to navigate it at all and maybe have used it an hour total since I opened the account.
I was making wooden pouring molds for several of the silver pourers in the community for a few years. These are for packing delft clay into in order to make custom art pours. While I made them for several pourers, the two that I made the most pouring frames for are Skully and The Bear. Which probably is why I have the most hand poured art from these two pouring artists.
I’ve shared a pair of vault bars from The Bear. This is a very unique designed bar.
Check out this design….
That’s 8.5 troy ounces of a badass hand poured bar…

Regarding social networks, some say that you cannot live without them, this is NOT true, I left social networks like Facebook and others and here I am, I live more peacefully
His IG account x_thebear_x has been quiet since April.
I hope he's okay.
I've only got a little fractional piece of his work, he'd often sell out before I could get a chance on anything.
Wow that's an amazing piece. Loving the design! !PIMP
