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.

Brains Play Set
I decided to make a play set for my animation, Brains a postmodern Prometheus story. Complete with removable shrinky-dink actors and a working doorway.

Lunatics Play Set
I’ve been having fun with shrinky-dink like shrinking plastic and making little dioramas from my animations. This one is based on characters from the Lunatics universe.
