Bad B.A.R.K.

This is one of my preliminary Bad B.A.R.K. puppet designs. Bad B.A.R.K. is a bigger, meaner, more destructive version of B.A.R.K. the Robot Dog. This design has a neat science fiction look, but the claws, visor-style eyes and bucket-shaped head were too much of a departure from the original puppet. Bad B.A.R.K. had to be similar enough to Good B.A.R.K. that the audience would believe a transformation had taken place, rather than assuming the giant puppet was a new character.

Don’t miss B.A.R.K. the Robot Dog at the NoHo Arts Center on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 1 pm.
