Who are the bears?
Artists Diana H. Chu and Benjamin Grzenia launched BearBear as a self-publishing Risograph studio in Milwaukee, WI. BearBear celebrates the intersection between what we put on our tables, where we call home, and who we gather with. We've been gettin' cozy since 2019. (Photo by Erin Lynne, 2026)
