Monday Song - Selfless, Cold, and Composed

I said what you wanted to hear

And what I wanted to say

So I will take it back

Are all the dishes intact?

Let them be broken

It's easy to be

Easy and Free

When it doesn't mean anything

You remain selfless, cold and

Composed

You've done me no favor

to call and be nice

Telling me I

Can take anything I like

You don't owe me to be so

Polite

You've done no wrong

You've done no wrong

Get out of my sight

It's easy to be

Easy and Free

When it doesn't mean anything

You remain

Selfless, cold, and

Composed

Come on baby. Now throw me 

a right to the chin

Don't you stare like 

You never cared

I know you did

You just smiled

like a band teller

telling me bleakly

have a nice life 

(Ben Folds Five)

Monday Song - You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks

If you and your folks love me and my folks like

Me and my folks love you and your folks

If there ever was folks

That ever ever was poor

If you and your thing dig me and my thing

Like me and my thing dig you and your thing

And we all got a thing

Yeah, and it's a very good thing

Ha! 

But if in our fears, we don't learn to trust each other

And if in our tears, we don't learn to share with your brother

You know that hate is gonna keep on multiplying

And you know that man is gonna keep right on dying

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

The rich got a big piece of this and that

The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats

Can you get to that

Tell me where it's at

Yeah!

Hey!

You want peace

I want peace

They want peace

And the kids need peace

There won't be no peace

The rich got a big piece of this and that

The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats

Can you get to that

Tell me where it's at

If you and your folks loved me and my folks

Like me and my folks love you and your folks

If there ever was folks

That ever ever was poor

If you and your thing dig me and my thing

Like me and my thing dig you and your thing

Then we all got a thing

And it's a very good thing

(Funkadelic)

Monday Song - Timshell

Cold is the water

It freezes your already cold mind

Already cold, cold mind

And death is at your doorstep

And it will steal your innocence

But it will not steal your substance

But you are not alone in this

And you are not alone in this

As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand

Hold your hand

And you are the mother

The mother of your baby child

The one to whom you gave life

And you have your choices

And these are what make man great

His ladder to the stars

But you are not alone in this

And you are not alone in this

As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand

Hold your hand

And I will tell the night

Whisper, "Lose your sight"

But I can't move the mountains for you

(Mumford and Sons)

Monday Song - Mother's Little Helper

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day
(The Rolling Stones)

Cammy is my father's mother... I decided to make her and my step-grandfather as puppets for their Christmas gift this year. I call them Gummy and Gumpy. They have been two of my biggest supporters in this madness I call a puppet life, so I wanted them to be included, hahaha...

Here's the picture I used as reference...Tomorrow will be Norm, aka Gumpy...

Here's how Mr. Kyhole came about...

I got offered a commission to remake the already well known Kyhole (featured on Blam!) by his creator, Wayne Poe.

And I took the gig! Hahaha...

Here is two pics of the original that I used to base the new one on -

And here his is done, full body, hiding his junk behind the book!

And some pictures of him in progress...

Monday Song - Coffee Shop

I am just a lousy bum

Searching for the unknown crumb
The crumb the crumb
Something or someone to come
Come along and illuminate my lust
Combust
Confucius might have been confused
And Buddha might have blown a fuse
Jooze the muse

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hotspot

Back and forth my body's jerking
Will to thrill will not stop working
Work and work
I'll take you on a honeymoon
Jumping on a bed in a hotel room
The room the room

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hotspot
(Red Hot Chili Peppers)

New Year, new stuff...

Puppets on set for shooting Animal Behavior at Paris In Plantsville

Happy New Year again!
So with Puppet A Day still going I've decided to also add a few other things to it.
Still going to keep going with the puppets as I make and collect them. It's my passion. And I'm going to start up with the reviews again too.
But I'm also going to start posting pages from my stacks and stacks of sketchbooks, posting paintings, sculptures, and other artful things I've done, and old some lyrics, stories, poems... All kinds of stuff.
Look for it all to start in the next few days...
Hope 2011 has been good to you so far! Hahaha
