Cool Music video I tripped over

Enjoy!

Basil Twist

Normally, I don't push things onto anybody that reads my blog that I haven't stumbled on myself.. you know, the whole e-mailed link from some anonymous stranger thing... but I recently received an e-mail with a link to this site, and I have to say I was impressed enough to share it with you...

Now I haven't seen much of this guys work, but the short video is enough to get me curious to see more. I kinda wish they had focused a little more on actually showing his puppetry a bit more, it's obvious he's quite talented.

Anyone with further info, feel free to post it in the comments.


Also, and totally unrelated to the above... I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. My wife had a bit of an accident and her recovery is taking some of my free time... so things have slowed down for a few months here.
The good news is that over two hours of footage has been shot for my brother's show, "LFT! The Podcast for Superheroes!" and is currently in post-production now...
So hopefully soon I can feature my own creations in a video! Woot! I'll keep you guys posted as I learn more...

Unsung Heroes...

I remember waiting for these guys to pop up with as much anticipation as I waited for Spidey on Electric Company... A great set of characters no one ever seems to mention much.

Psst... Hey buddy...

The brilliance of Sesame Street.

Mass Update Round-up!

Just so nothing gets lost in the shuffle of my multi-posting binge...

New puppets!

Boris

Pepper

Wilt

Quickdraw McGraw

These guys were all completed last year actually. Check them out and tell me what you think!
So far this year, I'm working on a few more LFT! puppets and am gearing up for my first attempt at the new Mostro pattern. There's definately more on the way!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

It's alive.... ALIVE!!!

Boris was created during my pre-halloween classic monster phase, along with Rico, Cassandra and Lonnie. The last of the batch, Boris has been neglected until now... so here he is.
He was an original design, no pattern was used for the head construction. I totally adlibbed it. Much like my Gir puppet, his head is mostly a cylinder of foam, just with a wider jaw.
This was another "Trick or Treat" puppet I embarrassed my wife with by insisting on taking it out with the kids on the candy gathering (and hanging it out the car window as she drove, taking it into Walmart with us and just general goofiness... ah, good times...)

A Dash of Pepper!

This puppet was very experimental for me. Pepper is an original character, and my first "full bodied" puppet.
I started construction with the roly pattern, and drasticlly altered the basic "sock" of the body, and added her legs to the mix. I kept all of the patterns for this design and may revisit some aspects of it on a later build. Overall, I like how the body shape came out.
This is also the first time I've tried using yarn for hair.
I've considered making one like this for sale, but my poor photography skills just don't do the design justice. It really looks better in person than what I caught on camera.
