I met Steve Swanson from MuppetCast last year at the Puppets Up! festival in Almonte, Ontario. I was hoping to meet up with him this year, but he was not able to make it up do to a schedule conflict. So Jamie Douglas and I sent him a quick video message with the help of Tom Stewart.
Having a nice space to work is essential to me and my creativity. I am glad that I too some time to spruce up my basement workshop and update my spray /glue booth.
As you can see I’ve added lots of cupboard storage and work areas. All of my fabric and foam are now easy to access and see in these vertical storage units.
My main work table has a white projection screen up behind it. Now I can take quite pictures of the puppets I am working on for my clients on a nice white background.
I upgraded my vent fan and made sure that it is air tight along the corners. I just have to add a shower curtain and the front to minimize vapor leakage and I am golden. It works amazingly well as it is (even with the opening at the front).
The system is vented directly outside, so I can glue easily even in the middle of the winter.
I am happy with the set up and I am looking forward to adding a computer to my future editing area, for my own puppet videos. fun, fun, fun.
I’ve been trying to get a new online show off the ground ever since Chimp TV went into development. Here is my replacement. The show is called HOGS and as the logo suggests, it is a spoof on COPS. There are three main characters who have all been designed and are currently under construction. I will post more as the summer progresses. Stay tuned.
Well, I am very happy to announce that the new company website is now up and running. My hope is that I will be able to share more of my work with people through the company site as well as this blog. Posting can be difficult for me since I am very busy with work and family life, but I will try.
Well, I know it is a tad long for a post title, but it works so well; I think. At any rate I am happy to announce that my blog is now up and running and my new website is not far behind. I have been doing many things as of late, but I have not posted in a long time.
Some things to overview, is that I have made some cool puppets, I am doing some fun puppeteering and I am currently developing a new online show, all of which I will be posting about in the not too distant future.
