Noreen Young is a master at caricature type puppets. They are latex rubber puppets however and not cartoon "muppet type" puppets.
But perhaps one of the best know builders who make the types of puppets you are looking for is Rick Lyon. You can see some of his stuff here. And here.
I am sure...
Hey Wes,
I am glad that you were inspired. Again, it was nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing those puppets.
I have been inspired by many things recently, but I was definately on a high note after the Toronto auditions and I did finish a puppet recently (just check out my blog...
Sounds great! Best of luck with your idea.
Hey. What does "Flag Spam/Abuse" mean? Just curious.
I was also just wondering why you have such a tight age range? Seventeen to twenty-two years old seems to be limiting your prospective talent pool. Especially since most of the talented...
Hey thanks Buck-Beaver, MGov, Phantom and Shtick for the positive words about the puppet.
Thanks Shtick, for being an advocate on my behalf. Yes, I do acknowledge that it is a puppet that I have created and that I used the basic pattern from ProjectPuppet.com (but I added a bunch of stuff...
Well I know that people have been wondering about Project Puppet patterns. I have been wondering as well. I just finished my first attempt at using their patterns. I must admit that the instructions were easy to read and the final product was exactly as planned.
You can see the puppet...
Sometimes I come across Ebay auctions that state items are a certin Muppet character. I got a kick out of this one of Oscar The Grouch. Now this person is definately not trying to trick anyone here. I think they are being sincere about thinking it is Oscar...but I'll let others decide if...
There you have it. Since RavageFrackle has experience building Muppets I would say he knows what he is talking about.
The Muppets I used had no pins in them that I could see, so I assume that the rods were sewn in.
So for the Muppets who have the arm rods sewn in, how easy are they to...
I was recently at the Muppets audition in Toronto.
I was fortunate enough to be called back and I got to wear Kermit. The "real Kermit".
The person who was helping me put the puppet on pointed out two little loops that were attached to the handles of the arm rods. The woman who...
The point here has merit.
One of the things that might make each pattern more valuable is if there is something unique (a special tip that is unique to each pattern, but that could help with all the other puppet patterns as well. Or a special small pattern for a nose or something that you...
Hey Shtick,
I don't know for sure, but my guess is that they are NOT former muppet workshop builders. I know that RavageFrackle IS, but he has nothing to do with Project Puppet; as far as I know.
Sorry if I missed returning an email (don't know how that happened).
As for the puppet, it is almost finished, but I have made a few interior alterations and I am doing some detail painting on the puppet itself.
Let me just add (to the people who feel these pattern prices are expensive)...
Just remember that professional builders did not always make great puppets and it was just as much of a struggle in the beginning for them as well. I am sure that there are many pros who can relate to building something for the first time. I often try new things out and have just as much...
Hey Wes,
Good to have a face to put to the name. Zack and I both had a blast at the second day (here). They told us that we wouldn't hear anything until about a month or so. I will be updating my blog about any news.
I am sure that Zack will let everyone know as well.
