The pupil is a disc that is attached to the eye by a small black screw. It can spin freely on the screw for that googly look. This year at Dragon*Con, when talking about the puppets, Peter Linz remarked that Cookie Monster's mouth was made from a cut-up football. I would never have thought...

newsmanfan: Thanks. That's a style I've had since high school, but I rarely draw in it these days because I color stuff in Photoshop. It's fun to get out a double-edged Sharpie and go back to the basics once in a while. charlietheowl: Either that, or he's bored off his baloobius with making...

I not been drawing much. But here's somethingI drawed today because today was slow at work... Jago Fraggle from my current fanfic, The Minstrel's Path. He may look a little familiar. There's a reason for that. I'll probably color this in later. Right now I'm tired and I feel awful, which...

Frankenweenie. I saw the original version as an extra on my Nightmare Before Christmas DVD. I'm looking forward to seeing the expanded version. Silent Hill 2. Please, please, please let this not suck too hard. It's based on the SH3 and, apparently 4, games. 3 is a big plus, 4 is a minus...

I've found the LMM episodes on Youtube. There were only three that aired. Some of the footage made it into later "Muppet Babies" episodes.

I think I've got the problem licked. I dug out of storage some black vinyl placemats I got about twenty years ago for a different crafty project. (I don't throw art & craft supplies away if there's nothing wrong with them; I know that sooner or later they'll be used.) I cut the frame and...

I'm trying to make a pair of glasses for a puppet. Regular glasses won't work, as I have a specific shape in mind: rounded cat-eye glasses, eyes in the lenses, with the earpieces tilted way down so she doesn't stare at the ceiling. The lenses are no problem; plastic spoons work just dandy...

Hmm, I almost has that sneer problem with Janken, as his "skin" is tight, but his mouth is small enough that the extra thickness of the fleece "lip" makes up for it. Things to fix in version 2.0...

I'm making a puppet with a very wide mouth. I first used gasket rubber, which worked so nicely for my Fraggle. However, the mouth was wide enough that the rubber bent in the middle, making it look just terrible when closed. So I got a clear plastic storage container--the kind you can buy at...

Erk. I see my followup didn't post for some reason. It turned out to be "part of a transformer," so the crews said when they showed up. I don't know what the sirens were for, but I saw nothing about anyone getting hurt. Anyway, everyone was walking around outside, asking each other what was...

Today the power went off, and a nano later I heard a loud BANG. I thought it was a transformer. Then I heard sirens...

Everyone loves Wembley!

This is a topic I would never have thought about discussing, and I've drawn this stuff. Of course there's We Love You, Wembley, in which Boober (under the influence of the love potion) kissed Wembley over and over. IIRC, although everyone was momentarily besotted with Wembley, Boober was the...

You're both right. Murray's the better linguist, and will pick up Jago's language fast enough that there's not a lot of point in Jago learning his. Which is a good thing, as Jago's two languages are music and...well, whatever it is that Fraggles and everyone else in the Rock speaks. It varies...

I guess it's obvious that this is Murray. I wasn't sure it would be. Out of curiosity, what was the tip-off? I'd been wembling on whether to bring Murray in this early, as he doesn't seem as old as Cantus. However, I realized that Jago needs a friend right now, not years (er, many, many...

The Minstrel's Path Part 6 by Kim McFarland ***** Jago was in the cavelet he called his home. It was small, suitable for one Fraggle and his possessions: bedding, clothing, and a few personal items. In Jago's case these were musical instruments. In addition to the chordophone, the...

The caves are an ecosystem. Things eat other things. Some creatures eat plants, some creatures eat other creatures. Such is the way of things. Jago's colony is insular and a bit provincial. They have no contact with people other than themselves, and thus have no notion of other ways of...

The Count: Thanks. I don't know if the spiderlike critters are recognizable. Probably not, unless you knew the odd way I think. charlietheowl: This is a different Fraggle clan, so they have a different culture. But, yeah, Fraggles are not warlike by nature. These guys just like to make a...

Just a note: each story in the "text sketchbook" is finished when I post it, and of course each pic I post is self-contained. So, everything in those threads is a finished piece. Each thread is simply a collection of finished pieces that I have put in one "binder" rather than scattering them...

Romney wants attention. he wants people to talk about him. So, he does this. And people talk about him. I'm not even gonna start.
