I’ve worked up a prototype, using some 3D prints I made last year. It’s just a sketch, really. But I like him.

Is there any more lunch?
Well, is there?
Some more work. Beverly gave me this amazing doll as a present, and I scanner her. There are so many possibilities around this.
Below is a small test print of the scan. I haven’t cleaned this up yet, and it’s smaller than I intend to use, but it’s also fantastic.

3D printed pups
I’m trying out some new scan/filament combinations for some puppets.

Puppet Process
I’ve been working toward taking my action figures farther along into animation. Fortunately, I have some access to scanning and printing equipment.
When I was in grad school, I came across a book about Paul Klee’s hand puppets, which he presumably used to scare the shit out of his son. I’m very inspired by the uncanny nature of these puppets, and all puppets, marionettes, and ventriloquist dummies. After all, puppets are a natural companion to/for animation. We bring them to life.
I am focusing on heads and hands at the moment, with armature and clothing to come next.

S. Ex. no. 24 (cactus cowboy)
My colleague scanned one of my Cactus Cowboys and we tried printing him in an SLA 3D printer. This particular fellow took 14 hours. The drums in the video are from my basement, and the conversation is, well, a conversation.
