"G@MRZ" strikes again!!!

Elmwood Productions - The Home of The Elmwood Puppets And More!and Party Time Comics will be screening the very funny (and apropos) series G@mrz at Gen Con Indy 2014! May geeks and nerds alike unite as we join Geoff and his band of merry rollers in their attempts to form the perfect gaming group. And by "perfect" we mean of course one that merely functions well enough to get through an entire session each week. There will be a Q&A after the screening with representatives of both Elmwood and Party Time.

The event ID is FLM1453281. The show is free for all Gen Con Indy 2014 badge holders and there are only 50 seats available so get your tickets now!

 Abel, Mike, Ben, and Nick working like mad…  Look close and you can see Gabe waaaaay in the back drawing the latest "Party Time" comic strip!

 The production line…

The "Schmutsy" Project Part One

Sometimes people find out about a puppet I'm making and can't wait to see it…

A handful of people found out I'm making a puppet of a friend, Pat, to be a character in Elmwood's upcoming web series "The Risley Brothers".

The puppet of Pat will be named "Schmutsy"

So here on the blog I'm going to post pics of his progress…

Here's the first two...

 The "skull" of Schmutsy is polyfoam.  I used the Project Puppet pattern "Punto" for him.  I have a few of their patterns and I recommend them if you're interested in puppet making

Here it is completed (skull) with the mouth added…

Next Time we add the skin!
