This was a fun shoot, the puppet idea was unintentional, but worked out perfectly for this shot.

Puppet Pizzazz with Greg Ruhe was a great show with puppets of all shapes and sizes!

Here are a few puppets I helped create for a private movie. Alright, I didn't help much.

My soul is trapped in a puppet's body; and society manipulates my every move. Filled with wishes that remain as dreams, I am lost to myself in search of expression. In my desolate retreat in the treasure box, I continue to dream in a dark world.

But the strings that cling to me are thin and fine. One day, I will sever them one by one. I will be liberated from your rule. I will walk my own path. I will make my dreams come true. I will make things happen.

I will not be society's puppet anymore; I will be a living being.

This traditional Sundanese puppet was made by an unnamed master puppet maker sometime in the first half of the 20th century. It is noted as being made for the Mahabharata epic, representing Ardjuna. The body of the puppet is carved from wood and painted; the costume is sewn from cloth and embroidered.

Puppet Puppetry

I'd never fancied myself a shadow puppet show designer, but a friend asked me to build one for The Heist Project, so I did.

This shadow puppet show is called "The Horse and his Shadow"

Each puppet has 2 movable limbs.

From January to June, I worked as a public relations intern for The Jim Henson Company. It was wonderful, and I had the opportunity to help prepare for a month-long Australian tour of Puppet Up! – Uncensored, a live puppet improv show. I was also able to participate in their rehearsals for a show in Anaheim. This is me onstage with Brian Henson, Leslie Carrara (Abby Cadabby on Sesame Street), Paul Rugg (the voice of Freakazoid), and Victor Yerrid (tons of puppet stuff).

See Puppet Up! online.

This was in a shop in Hannoversch-Münden that specialized in puppets and artistic objects.

I saw this monk looking at this puppet and fell over myself to take a photo. As monks did whenever they saw me he turned and posed (the rest turned away). I would rather he continued looking at the puppet, but I really like the hook dead center behind him!

I just love the Oliver + S Puppet Show shorts - perfect for little girls this age. Blogged here.

Master of Puppets is a 1980s album by heavy metal band Mettalica. I'm not sure why it is being featured on this Shoreditch wall, which is known for advertising, unless perhaps the album has been remastered and reissued...? Dunno, but it still makes a good piece of artwork.

My new puppet with the 3d-printed puppet head is now finished. The fur was sewed together and glued on with hot glue, eyes were painted with permanent markers, tongue is made of foam - covered in leather, the teeth were hand-sculpted with Plaast.

The eyes can move left and right, eyelids are movable too.
