This is a design I drew for a Rockstar marionette a few years ago. The puppet is a commissioned piece for a San Fransisco street performer. Initially I had done two different designs for him. He commissioned the other puppet from me at the time; a Hip-Hop DIva which I built for him and he has been performing with regularly. Now he has asked me to go forward with this puppet so he can expand his performance repetoire.

Just spent a lovely Saturday carving a leg for the puppet I have been building for Woodcrafters. (212 NE 6th, Portland, Or.) I love doing the demos there because I get to talk to all the woodworkers who come through the door. I get a lot of questions about my craft as well and I hope I inspire at least a few people to try puppetry and puppet building.
