It was one silly idea out of many he had while attending art school in Nova Scotia in the mid-90s. “I’ve always made humorous, kind of irreverent art that was in opposition to touchy-feely, authentic, Oprah-like things,” he says in his Ontario-by-way-of-Brooklyn lilt.A little bit Warhol, a little bit aisle six at CVS cheap canada goose sale , the $17-$26 expletive hugging, stub-nose teddies have only the one catchphrase. “I tried some other slogans. They sold all right, but it wasn’t worth it to me,” Silver says. “When Brokeback Mountain came out, I did do an ‘I Can’t Quit You’ bear. Next year is the ten-year anniversary so I’ll probably bring them back.”The bears, which are available exclusively at LoveisLame.com, have experienced a resurgence recently—Silver sells up to 7,000 a year—even though he’s been making them for over a decade. (A single 1″ ad in the print version in The Onion garnered him his first Valentine’s Day sellout 13 years ago.)”It used to be a cynical, goofy person who was buying them,” he says. “Now baertakreation , it’s almost a little more earnest.” Regardless of the bears’ somewhat anti-feminist sentiment, Silver says the majority of his fans are women. “I had a booth at the New York Now tradeshow at the Javits Center, which probably wasn’t the right trade show for me—it was a little provincial,” he says. “People loved it. Old ladies with little knitting shops were asking me to take their picture.”And despite never tweaking the product, even as his marketing tactics evolved from postage-size ads to pop-up stores, the bears still speak for themselves: “It’s amazing because this is from a white, Canadian dude from 1995,” he says. “You think it would have gone totally out of fashion.” Shit bitch, no way.Related: Step and Repeat with Michelle Collins: The Annual Westminster Dog Show Related: Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas From Fashion’s Most Fabulous CouplesPhoto: Courtesy of LoveisLame.com
