Making New Puppets Part Deux (II)—->

The exciting-excitement prevalent in the making of new sock puppets and their portraits persists on and beyond that which we can even conceive!


Pictured above: eyeball making! They don’t all come from the aforementioned magical box… some are apparently born on macaroni and cheese boxes!


And then: sometimes puppet-building involves scissor-threatening. They must be kept in line at all costs!


What mysterious magic is this?!!

Or this?!!! How infuriatingly tantalizing! I simply must Blog about it RIGHT NOW!


By way of proving both to myself and many of my former teachers how much I obsess over each absurd detail, here is a litany of dog noses…

…which went on to become a mysterious puppy! Who is that DOGGGGGGyy!?


I still didn’t find anywhere for this beautiful bunny button. But I love it and wanted to show you.


And I’m so into this little hat that I made…


…and all of these puppets that I made..!


…and making a mess!!!

Ok, that’s all for preview-time hooray show of ego-mania and joy! Buckle in for the actual release of these puppets this Spring, as well as lots of Myspace Songs to come!

Thanks for being awesome and looking at things,

I am making new puppets, Part Uno

Greetings, mysterious world of the internet,
The rumours are true, I have been gleefully holed-up in my palatial puppety workshop making a pile of new guys and gals to release upon the now-suspecting world of Sock Puppet Portrait watchers this spring.


I’m making them for other more secretive and/or speculative reasons, too, but for all of the intents and the purposes, let’s just think of these as Series 2.5, which should premiere in an exciting manner this march-ish!


By way of indulging my conspicuous ego-mania, as you may have already noted I’ve been taking pictures while I worked (a fact made more compulsively possible by the new little digital camera I gots). Above you see me going through the intense sock-finding process (disturbingly enough, it actually is quite intense). I spend far too much time studying socks. You then see some shots of my magical-fantastic (and recently proudly and somewhat precariously re-organized) “Closet O’ Stuff” (I’m sure you’ve heard all about it…), with a feature shot of the coveted “Box O’ Eyes”. Dr. Indiana Jones himself went looking for that and couldn’t find it (the cool younger Indiana). Below, check out sketches for the new lot, and stay tuned for more nifty looks at stuff!

So alluring and intriguing! Series 2.5 will be like it’s predecessor, Series 1.5, and will feature three new trios of conceptually-related puppets. It just might premiere in a similar manner, as well… More to come, and I haven’t forgotten about the Series 2 Myspace Songs! I’m multi-tasking!

hi.

and hello.
I’m back to work at my mighty Sock Puppet Factory (after a super-amazing journey to Germany).
IF – you are busily looking for any of the remaining six Myspace profiles for folks like Sebastian Metaphor and Herb Bloomquist from Series 2, I promise that is exactly what I’m working towards right now.

In point of fact RIGHT now I’m re-organizing the inner workings magical puppet workshop. Stacking and re-stacking and such. There are some secret projects brewing during the next two months, too, but during that time I’ll be dilligently working towards getting the remaining sock puppets their no doubt eagerly-anticipated shots at all-out social networking…

More to come, and also come see Uncle Monsterface play in Connecticut this weekend, where I’ll also have SOME puppet portraits for sale.

Yay.
