- Its me, a Pear!
- That sounds like the solution to a problem that I want to continue being a problem.
- The secret to success: be depressed, drink a bottle of cognac, binge VR strip clubs, then become a successful gallery owner. Its that easy!
History and Biography
History
After being informed that VRC could be played without a headset by a friend, Pearsall joined VRC in search of quick thrills at the tail end of December 2021. He ended up befriending a group that would attempt to make a VRC club called "Club Nowhere". After one event, the club exploded in a drama-fueled fireball, and the friend-group disbanded in early February 2022. Being in a slump both artistically and professionally, Pearsall would end up going on a binge with a few friends that involved drinking a whole bottle of cognac and going to several VRC exotic dance clubs, starting with Club Zodiac and ending in Club Soulwell. This would end up being a fateful occurance, as he was quickly hired by Soulwell as the official artist for their staff posters, having him paint the dancers in his grungy dark fantasy art style. This would lead to his artwork increasing in popularity, leading to a consistent freelance art career in the VRC community. Though Soulwell, Pearsall made a connection with the owner of the VRU Oasis, TheCastle, and in around April 2022, he would pitch an idea for an "arts district" in Castles VRU Oasis map. Seeing an opportunity, he and Castle spent the next few months crafting the original Strange Pear map, which released in September 2022. This venue would persist and evolve over time into one of the biggest art communities in VRChat.
Life Before
Before VRChat, Pearsall ran a teen drawing workshop at a local art gallery, volunteering his time to help set up gallery shows there as well. He went to school at the Delaware College of Art and Design for animation, and has a degree in animation. He has made two video games which can currently be found on Steam ("The Mull Littoral" and "Existensis")
