I'd just like to...

...go on record expressing my thanks for some of these folks.

Puppet 101

Snapdragon puppets


none of them actually helped me, but with the magic answer box here, a little bit of pattern making experience from my last "real" job making backpacks, and a lot of dumb luck I managed to pull off my first venture into something along the lines of puppet building. Three large sheet foam masks for a theater company.

You can see them by stopping by the site and having a look at the puppet samples.

WELCOME TO US

Hello from lovely snow covered Cleveland Ohio! Home to gray skies, snow, rain, and not too much else. OK, so there are some other things here. The Rock and Roll hall of Fame, the sports...all those damn sports, and well, I guess I covered everything.

Fine, there are some folks here trying to make some movies, folks doing special effects, hell, I guess there really is something going on here after all.

This will be a "behind the scenes" and commentary from my point of view on the FX scene here. Who am I? Why, I'm Tom. Don may chime in from time to time, but he's based down in Pittsburgh.

Welcome, now stop back soon when we have some more content.
