Willie and His Dancing Bear

I saw Willie, his bear, and his partner Evelyn near downtown several times. His dancing bear grabbed my attention almost immediately. While there are a lot of people in search of money, Willie's method sure takes the cake for creativity. So today I finally stopped and asked him if I could photograph him and his bear. He kindly (Willie is an amazingly kind and gentle guy) accepted and began putting the bear through its hip-gyrating moves. In addition to burning up the pavement with ursine dance moves, Willie is a burgeoning comic artist. I'm going to try to help him get published... if you know any good outlets in which to showcase up andcoming artwork (aside from Tumblr) please let me know!
