    You NEED to go get this DVD! The transfer quality alone, is worth the disc, but the bonus features rock too. Yes it's UrAc, the scribe. I did the sketch in '88 and followed it with a large drawing in oil pastels. Unfortunatley I don't have that larger drawing anymore and never got a picture...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Thanks Ken, 'Sounds like a plan. If nothing else, the more playsets ya'll make the more you'll learn what to do and not like we were talking about before. And you'll have a better idea of just how big it will have to be to hold any of the smaller sets as more of them will be done. This is a...

    What's everyone think of CRANK YANKERS?????

    I've only ever seen one skit on CY's. I thought the puppets looked OK. I've definately seen better. The sets looked pretty good. They did do a pretty good job of "lip" synching the puppets to the recordings. So I guess on the technical side of things I'd give it a B. As far as the humour goes I...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Well, I've actually been here a little while but since i just dove in head first so to speak I missed this thread until now. I'm John and I'm an artist. 'Sounds like an AA introduction doesn't it? I was one of the original Sesame St. kids(meaning the first kids who watched SS. I was never...

    Unappreciated Cartoonist!

    Most art schools are pretty much stuck in 1960 when it comes to "How to draw" if it doesn't fit into one of the pre-ordained acceptable styles(realism, impresionism, cubisim, etc) then they don't accept it. There is *some* method to the madness. It's kind of like a musician learning to read and...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Yeah the more I look at it the less I think it would be feasable myself. Besides, like I said(I can't remember if it was here or over at Palisades) I think more figurally than architechurally. Oh, and BC-Fraggle, my avatar is a crop of one of my sketches as well, does that count as more? J~

    Everyones Leaving!!! Boo hoo!!!

    Are you kidding? I know I've only been on this board for less than a month but we've got a really good group here. I've not done a lot of Forums, Discussions lists etc. but this one is BY FAR the most positive in tone that I've seen. I tried the alt.patmetheny list a couple of years back and got...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Of course ya'll realize... if Palisades actually makes all these linking playsets we're talking about here(Theatre Box/Prop Closet, Back Stage, Dressing Room) we're all going to need an extra table to display the completed stage on. This could eat up more space than some of those "Christmas...

    If you really want me to. It's really a pretty bare-bones rough, no details or anything. I'm really more of a figural artist than an architect anyway. J~

    Series 2 has landed!!

    Yep, Nothing like actually *doing* something to figure out what works and what doesn't. So far I'd say you're doing great with these though. Can't wait to see them get even better. J~

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    OK, additional thoughts... You include Sweetums and Robin with the backstage playset. Then you combine the Statler & Waldorf's box with my idea for Prop room and make it in two pieces that snap together to make one playset that is narrow(only wide enough to encompase the width of the theatre...

    What if Palisades could manufacture Henson DVDs???

    Yeah, it's all about $$$. If you put say, six episode per disc than you would only have the potential to sell half as many units as if you put three episodes per disc. It's not as good a value for the consumer to get only three per disc. But how often does anybody go into business to make the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    OK how about this: If you design the stage as sections that snap together with only bases to support the sides of the stage and a three piece arch for the back wall(sides and top)? That way your materials and packaging cost are greatly reduced by it being a sort of "skeletal" product. You use...

    Muppets Series 1 Super-Clearance!

    I Got this off of Action Figure News. If anybody has a Tower Records nearby and is missing any Series 1 I'd jump on this. Too bad my nearest Tower' is 150 miles away! I still need Dr. Honeydew.: With the holidays quickly approaching and hot items like Tortured Souls 2, The Osbournes, Wizard...

    No, no, no... If it comes to that, I'd rather have the cool bus. Besides you've already got us making wish-lists of bonus packs of just accsesories so here's an idea: You're going to do a "Super" playset of the main Muppet Show stage, right? (Which I still would love to have with working...

    Series 2 has landed!!

    Hey everybody, I just went over to the Palisades site to check out the Daily Bit and saw that the Palisades Forum is up and running. According to the moderator Series 2 has been delivered to the LA warehouse! So, Ken what kind of ship date are we looking at now? J~

    I think we definately need mics for the whole band. I still think the best way to get them out would be to include them in the EM bus with Janice. J~
