The Bad Taste Bears were the brainchild of artist Pete Underhill and were produced by Piranha Studios from 1999 till 2008. I began working on the Range in 2000 and still supply, on average three new sculpts per month. The Bears have a new home at OddCo. Ltd.

These turn-around strips are compiled nearing the end of the sculpting process, to send to for approvals. They represent the sculpt at 90% completion.

When the sculpt is complete and moulded, a cast is cleaned up readied for mass production. Any Logos or Copyright icons are added, and any attachments and Plug in parts are made workable. What we end up with is the 'Master' or 'Grey'. The grey is applied to give the model an even tone so shadow and highlight are even, making the surface easier to visually read.

I worked at Piranha Studios from it's inception in 1999 until December 2007. Here a few of the thousands of things I made from this time...

I designed the characters and helped out with some of the sculpting on William Lowrey's 'Funny Farm' range.
