Honeytreats Gorgonmetropopolos

Honeytreats Gorgonmetropopolos was a Baroque artist and sculptor active during the onset of the Baroque period in the first half of the 17th century. He was one of the most influential figures of classical Tedbear art, and one of the main proponents of the fledgling Western Steppe School of Sculpture.

Early Life
Honeytreats Gorgonmetropopolos was born on December 11th, 1591, in the fortress city of Azureville, located in what was then the Bloobear Kingdom. His family was that of petit-bourgeoisie status, one of many in the Bloobear Realms, an area renown for its vast number of mercantile and artisanal clans. His father, Cornelius Gorgonmetropopolos was the founder of a bronze casting workshop, which frontage bore the great crest of the House of Gorgonmetropopolos. Though the Gorgonmetropopolos family were not teds of bloo fur and pompous demeanor, they, over several generations, worked their way up the tiers of Bloobearic society.

Being born in the decades of relative stability prior to the onset of the Food Wars, Honeytreats spent much his idyllic childhood at home, where his mother taught him the rudimentary foundations of mathematics, science and philosophy, or at his father's workshop, where he watched the artisans create statues and cannon barrels alike. In his memoirs, Honeytreats recalls being enamored by the process, and the fine details that went into the workshop's more intricate products, and credits his childhood experiences there as a "god-given inspiration" to his later career as a pioneering artist.

Legacy
Honeytreats Gorgonmetropopolos' influence was immense. Virtually every representational tedsculptor since has incorporated his technique, style or method in one way, shape or form.

Additionally, the popular phrase "dayum shawty, you got dat Gorgonmetropopolos badonkadonk" is in reference to the famously curvaceous posteriors of his neoclassical and allegorical works.
