    Over Time

    Wow! Beautifully made. What amazing CG! I guess the word "Muppet" is there because of the fact that the puppet characters in the film are somewhat "Kermit" looking :) . Sweet and sad film. I loved it. I wonder if my puppets will do the same with me when I pass on. .....Pauly...

    Pauly's Puppets on the SAG Awards

    YES! I know. Kevin just Emailed me the clip. He's purchased several puppets from me already, and he uses them on his site www.puppetgreetings.com . He's a friend, and we exchange our site links. Good guy too. Yes, the SAG award thing was pretty cool. Thanks for being as excited as I was...

    Miss Piggy and Kermit homemade puppets

    Nothing wrong with what you're doing, so long as you're not selling them. Your work is really amazing! Have you tried getting work with Henson (Or is it Disney?) as a builder? I think they'd snatch you up in a heartbeat. I'd like to try building a replica Muppet too. I'd be curious to see...

    Puppety Opinion Please

    Come on, Buck. That's not fair to say. I mean what defines "professional"? If a sock puppet was used to represent a Pet Store Company, it becomes a professional puppet regardless of the materials it's made of. I've said truthfully before, that I build all my puppets out of affordable...

    Do you have a dream?

    Do what I did. Register your website name at www.register.com, for like $40 or so, every two years I think (but don't quote my figures), and they'll give you a free 3 page site, where you can sell your puppets. Here's mine> www.puppetsnstuff.com

    Anyone miss The Electric Company?

    I'm so glad somebody has brought up THE ELECTRIC COMPANY. It would be so cool to see either a remake of the series on PBS, or at least old episodes airing again, or at least on DVD. It's funny how we see some of the alumni today in serious roles, like Rita Moreno in the gritty HBO series "Oz"...

    Do you have a dream?

    For the past three years, I've been fortunate enough to make a living building and selling my puppets on Ebay >http://stores.ebay.com/PUPPETSNSTUFF-PUPPETS. Had to come up with something to pay the bills, because an actor's life is feast and famine. It's worked out nicely so far (although...

    JELLY BEAN JUNGLE dvd, plus....

    Wow, thanks everyone! Shaver, in answering your question, I co-designed the puppets for JELLY BEAN JUNGLE, and they were constructed by Bob & Lisa Fappianno (they are the folks who designed and built ALF, and TIMMY THE TOOTH). However, I DID design and BUILD the puppets for the LITTLE NICE...

    JELLY BEAN JUNGLE dvd, plus....

    Hi, everyone. Some of you already know that one of my fifteen minutes of fame moments is being the creator of JELLY BEAN JUNGLE, a 13 episode puppet children's series which aired in USA syndication from 1995-1997. I'm now selling the DVDs of the series in my EBAY STORE (You can bid on my...

    ELMO puppet on EBAY?

    As someone who tries to protect the copyrights of my own puppet designs, I found this interesting....Found this on EBAY. Could this be defined as copyright infringement? Doesn't say it's actually Elmo, but it sure looks as though it is. Says it's wearing ELMO clothes, and that it's a red...

    Favorite non-Henson puppet shows growing up

    I worked for the guys who are selling it, and saw the costume up close while I was out in LA. It DID look great and I was in awe at seeing it, being such a fan and all. But it's interesting that it's asking price is so high, considering the fact Sid and Marty Kroft (the creators of the...

    When did Blues Clues start using puppetry?

    Yeah, it's strange to see BLUE as a puppet. But it IS called BLUES ROOM, I believe. It's on Nickelodeon here in the states. I saw a one woman show in LA, starring the puppeteer for BLUE. Her name is Leslie Carrera. Very nice and talented lady. She told me John Tartaglia (star of AVENUE Q)...

    Puppet Coach needed!

    I totally agree. But as BUCK said, that's just "the nature of the beast". I've found that the acting industry is probably the most unfair, cruel and back stabbing profession in the world. But that passion to perform keeps us going for it and accepting the injustice as part of the biz. I...

    Puppet Coach needed!

    I agree. But I must admit, I have auditioned actor/singers in the past, who I thought might make good puppeteers based on the fact that they were good movers on stage and did good character voices. Puppeteer skill is something that you either naturally possess, or you don't. Plain and simple...
