Project Puppets 2011 contest winner

And the winner is Emerson Bartholamew Toppit!

This amazing puppet is the creation of Larry Merrill. Larry used the Pinhead pattern from Project Puppet. His dummy's name is Pete. Pete's mouth is controlled by trigger on the rod arm. Very impressive design.

Be sure to checkout all the other contest entries. All of them are very creative.

This is going to be a fun project to follow!

 

Umbilical Brothers

Having a 5 year old I have watched the upside down show on NickJr. The Umbilical Brothers are very physical comedians. Their level of creativity/craziness is impressive to me. They can get very far out side the box. Check out the two examples of their Adult material below. The upside down show is very clean.

Puppet Contest 2010

Project Puppet has announced this years Puppet Contest. The theme this year is Heroes and Villains. Great theme, I am looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Click here to go check out the patterns.

I am thinking of entering myself if I can fit it into my schedule. But, I am torn on which I'd like to do, hero or villain. Too bad they didn't go with Heroes this year then next year go with Villains that oppose the heroes that were submitted this year. Anyway you look at it, Puppet Project's Contests are always fun.
