The Skinny on the Bearded Yeti Coalition
You might be wondering exactly what is a Bearded Yeti and who’s in this Coalition? Well maybe I can shed some light on this. First let me give you a quick insight into the whole Bearded Yeti thing.
My name is Blu Pearson the founder and original yeti. I’ve always had these two sides to my personality, the wild & beastly, metal fueled, knuckle dustin, throttle twistin, knees in the breeze, loner, and the goofy, cuttin up, contemplative, introverted, teddy bear. Of course being older, married, and having kids of my own, I’m much less the beast and more teddy bear now.
Being a kid at heart I like to play video games with my kids and doing so you need a name to use in the games. So I asked my wife and kids to help me come up with one. After much deliberation they decided since I looked like a yeti (because of the big grey beard) and my name was Blu, that I should be Mr Blu Bearded Yeti. I loved that haha. And so began the development of my alter ego MrBluBeardedYeti.
Fast forward about 4 years… I have always loved designing and creating things. All kinds of things like artsy pursuits such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and playing music, to practical things like design and build remodeling, building custom motorcycles, or anything related to wood. Its just one of those core parts of who I am. To have a vision in my head and go through the pain and process to see it come to life is a great joy to me.
Of course what medium I am creating in ebbs and flows, as does everything. So while wood is my main medium which I’m working currently I have also taken some of my drawings and digitized them for various print on demand items.
My wife by the way is an amazing creative soul herself and has quite a portfolio of great designs, typography, and other cool crafty things. I saw the opportunity to give her an outlet to have some of her designs out in the wild as well. She already has an Instagram page for some of the awesomeness she has done in the past at https://www.instagram.com/willow_rock_handcrafted .
Then I thought “Why stop there” and encouraged my kids to start designing things. Hopefully it will spark their yearning to customize the world. So I asked them to come up with a brand and logo and few designs. They did and so Stinklefinch (my son) and SixBeauties (my duaghter) were born.
Put all this together and the Bearded Yeti Coalition was born. My wife, my kids, and me . Stinklefinch, Six Beauties, Willow Rock Handcrafted, and Bearded Yeti Coalition.
In Conclusion
The Bearded Yeti Coalition brand is more just a refection of myself. The designs, the other products I’m offering in the store, are all things that appeal to me. I know all the ecommerce gurus will say that’s not a good way to be successful and you should just follow the trends and only sell the hot products blah blah blah. But that’s just not who I am.
If I’m not passionate about something, don’t believe in it, or wouldn’t use my self, then I sure as heck wont recommend it to some one else just to make a buck. If its in my shop you can bet, either I use it, have used it, know folks who have used it, or researched and vetted the heck out of it, and feel confident recommending it. Come, join my family and I on this journey! Feel free to message and chat ask questions and get to know us. Have a blessed day and thanks for your support.
