I've always loved the drawings of Shepard and can never look at them without amazement at the man's ability.
Shepard was inspired to his design by a Steiff stuffed teddy bear. That got me remembering a sketch I did of my son's Steiff. The bear was passed down from his great grandfather and one evening, two year old Christopher lovingly tucked him in on the couch before he himself when off to bed.
The bear ended up in a book for a German publisher, although in a very tiny way on the rocking
horse.

Thanks so much, a joy to look at a master.
