The Intergalactic Space Bears are more than characters—they are the foundation of an ever-expanding universe built through illustration, mythology, symbolism, and speculative science. Born on Pluto, these curious beings journey across dimensions, documenting civilizations, forgotten knowledge, and the hidden patterns that connect the cosmos. Every piece of artwork, every symbol, and every story is a fragment from their world.

I'm Michon Proctor—an artist, designer, writer, and the creator of the Intergalactic Space Bears.

The project began unexpectedly during a college Textile Design course. For my final project, I designed custom fabric and sewed a collection of teddy bears. While listening to the Beastie Boys' Intergalactic, inspiration struck: I gave the bears antennae and named them the Intergalactic Space Bears. What started as a class assignment has since evolved into a living universe that I've continued to develop through art, worldbuilding, and storytelling.

My work draws inspiration from symbolism, metaphysics, ancient civilizations, mathematics, science, color theory, and the mysteries of consciousness. I enjoy exploring the places where mythology and science overlap, creating worlds that invite curiosity and wonder while asking deeper questions about existence, imagination, and our connection to the universe.

When I'm not expanding the world of the Intergalactic Space Bears, you'll usually find me sketching, researching ancient history, studying Tarot, playing video games, watching films, or simply following wherever curiosity leads next.

Whether you've come here to enjoy the artwork, explore the mythology, or discover the stories still unfolding, I'm grateful you're here. Welcome to the beginning of the journey.

As Above, So Below.

As the Universe, So the Soul.

As Without, So Within.
