Hi folks,

I decided to give gobo a go. Click the link to my blog in my signature and you'll be taken there.
As i write in the blog, this is just a small test before i go and build the full puppet.

That's cool.

Didn't you try your hand at Sam and Beaker before, too?

Thanks! I did, way back long time ago. They weren't that good, hehe. It was when i was just starting out building puppets. Besides they were'nt really puppets. They were more like photo-posers, non-manipulable.

Thanks Blink! I really like your stuff too, and your blog is really good. Now i don't know what a "clean" style is, but it sounds great :wink:
I will definately show more stuff on there as soon as i get this thing going. Right now i really don't have as much material as i need, and foam is expensive. I think i'll have to wait a month until i can build something new again.
Gobo is a project that is next up tho :wink: after that i will do an original charachter.

Hey BorkBork,

The term "clean" is my own term/a term I use that refers to how neat and tidy the puppet looks. Messy puppets that have bunches on glue (like the ones my students did) are not very "clean". Your sock puppet entry is "clean". Sorry to confuse things by using my own terms/sayings.:smile:

I can't wait to see Gobo and your original puppet character. I am glad you enjoy the blog. I would like to upadte it more, but with so much on the go it is hard to find the time.

Hello Bork Bork.

Cool Gobo, can't wait to see what he going to look like in the end.

A little off topic here, but I saw your sock puppet, Eric, on the Projectpuppet website, I thought it really was one of the best. I'm looking to build one myself here very soon. I hope you win.
