Traditional hand puppets? Hand and Rod puppets? Or do stop-motion puppets count too? If they do, then the Aardman films "Curse of the Were-Rabbit", "Chicken Run", etc. And "Corpse Bride", and "Nightmare Before Christmas" come to mind!

Don't think that taking a "day" job means you aren't a dedicated artist! I've spent many, many years (Prior to Swazzle) doing regular gigs and working various "day" jobs in retail, and office work, and waiting tables. I never thought of myself as anything but a puppeteer and I snatched every...

Puppet Heap was hiring? Dang it! I think those guys and gals rock the casbah and I am very bummed that I'm on the opposite coast. Just to go and check out their facilities would be great! Thanks Buck for posting such a nice opportunity!

The advice above is excellent! Make yourself laugh and the world laughs with you! Also, watch the Muppet Show! Those writers knew how to tell a joke that appeals to a variety of ages! Lastly, puppets hitting the wall is HILARIOUS! Try to do that a LEAST once a show! If you can hit the wall and...

That's GREAT news! Congrats!

I had such a good time @ that panel! It was wonderful to see Karen with Red! That character is so iconic and Karen give her such energy! It's a joy to watch. I shot some vid of the panel (just snippets--I wanted to enjoy the show too!) and posted 'em on YouTube but, you guys already linked 'em...

Glad you liked the show! It's been fun touring solo. Next time you see a show, come up & say "hi!"--unless you did that already :)
