Bad Taste Bears and Bits and Bobs

Posted Friday, 11 December, 2009 by Pete Underhill

It’s been a bit of a mad week for me.

The early part of it was drawing new ideas for the Bad Taste Bears, the second part of the week was working on schematic diagrams for a sports equipment supplier. The idea is to show the layout and sequence of various pieces of apparatus and youngsters doing whatever activity is required for each piece. However, that could’ve been the pitfall. As soon as you start drawing children, you have all of the complications associated with covering all the bases – gender, race, hairstyle, fashion, disabilities, etc., etc.. So, to prevent the whole project disappearing under tokenistic hurdles, I came up with a purple figure without gender or features. Sorted. Quite an adventure really, drawing something innocent, for a change.

Still plenty left to make next week an adventure.
