You may have noticed that I’m really into pandas. Andy Panda has been my nickname since elementary school and is in the name of my Tiki Lounge. I have many pandas and Tikis down here. One of my first non-SHAG pieces of art was Sandra Tang Fremgen’s Saturday Night Muse from her Panda and Me collection.
One of my newer collected artists is Autumn Frederickson and her Pocket Pandas series. I met Autumn at the 2019 Chicago Comic-Con, where she was exhibiting her work. I picked up a cool canvas tote bag featuring her panda going Boop! (Pls No Boop) with its red panda friend. I also bought a wonderful print, Two for Tea, with the same two pandas enjoying a whimsical tea party. This print hangs proudly in my bedroom.
I love when artists feature pandas in their work. Autumn Frederickson does a daily post on Facebook and Twitter, The (Mostly) Daily Panda, featuring the adventures of her Pocket Pandas. You should check it out and support her work. That would make me happy.
