Dpuppets, you are saying exactly what I was trying to say. Good post! Like I was saying, even if techniques were divulged by the high end guys, who would really run with it and try to compete with them or try to take over the industry? Who would really benefit from it from an economical...

I agree with you guys. It certainly is the right of people to not share their knowledge and techniques if they wish not to. I hope I wasn't sending the wrong message. But that doesn't mean it's still not frustrating. :) But anyway, I really don't expect anyone from the muppet workshop to go...

I also would like a copy. I thought I posted this in another thread, but it I can't find my post now. I would rather pay for a copy, seeing as how I really have nothing to trade except for maybe a copy of Great Performances, The World of Jim Henson taped off of PBS.

I also like the Grover, but the rest don't excite me. They don't really look to me to be styled after any 70's Sesame art work that I've ever seen either. Bert just looks weird. Ernie looks rather generic. The jury is still out on what I think of Cookie and Oscar. I'd like to see detailed...

I would also like a copy of John Denver and the Muppets, A Christmas Together unedited as it aired. The only thing I really have to trade would be a special that aired on PBS that I'd have to find and make a copy of. I think it was Jim Henson and the World of Puppetry or something like that. I...

Thanks for the advice, Buck. I didn't mean to come off the way I did. You're just telling me the way it is. It's just not a reality for me is all. It's kind of depressing when I think about it, considering what I do for a living now. Sheetmetal. Woohoo. The pay is the only thing keeping me at...

This is what used to frustrate me to no end as a kid trying to build puppets. I could never understand why JHC would not share a little info and giving me a chance instead of telling me to make a puppet out of paper plates and sandwich bags. I'm not really sure why the technique of building a...

At 34 years old and having a wife, 2 kids with a 3rd on the way, and a house payment, there is no way I can become a starving artist or quit my job and go to school or even think of moving without a solid job on the other side. People always tell me I should work in the entertainment industry...

I always daydream from time to time about getting a job with the Jim Henson Company, and then I start to wonder. If I did get a job with them, would I make a decent living? Having a family, you can't just run off to LA in the hopes of being hired and then hoping you will still be able to provide...

You guys didn't know about monsterpuppets.com? I figure everybody here knew about them. I first found them a few years ago on ebay. I wonder how well built those puppets are. And I wonder where the heck he gets his monster fur. :confused:

Doh! Sorry! One last time and I promise they will all work or your money back! :) The aliens. Me with my Kermit head. Kermit and Piggy. The spirit of Jim Henson? My daughter picking Ernie's nose! Father and son performing the alien muppets.

I'll just redo the links. I can't edit now. Here they are again. The aliens. Me with my Kermit head. Kermit and Piggy. The spirit of Jim Henson? My daughter picking Ernie's nose! Father and son performing the alien muppets. How are they working now? They all worked...

I'll fix it. I don't know what's going on, but they were good when I posted them. I tried them myself. Now they have weird !!!!!! in front of the links and stuff. Sorry guys. Check back soon and see if I successfully fixed the links. Thanks!
