HEAD???
Tomorrow Elmwood Productions starts photography on our second feature film called "HEAD".
It's been a movie long in the making. I'll save that history lesson for a different post someday.
I'm writing now just to say thanks to the cast and crew who are all so freaking excited to be doing this wacky project… A horror movie with an all puppet cast…
The shoot will be fun, that's for sure…
So now to pimp it out to you…
Take a look at the "HEAD" production blog HERE
And I'll be posting about it on this blog TOO!
And some pictures of the crazy people on this journey…

Monday Song...
See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow,
What you destroy today, you might regret tomorrow.
When you're young and defensive it sometimes comes off offensive.
And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed….

It was a gloomy morning...
But it didn't stop Mike and I from filming some stuff…
Here's a couple pics from the shoot…
Heheheheh…
Art I Own - The Missy Collection
My friend Missy is a painter, and she does the coolest stuff. I wish she had a website!
Over the almost five years I've known her I've managed to acquire a few of her pieces…
Here's a look -
This last one is the first one she gave me… Based on three puppets I made -

Morning nap
My morning view…
Every day I get up, start a pot of coffee, turn on my computer, and then hop in the shower.
Ater I dry off I get a cup of coffee and head to the computer to do my mooring business.
And everyday Ripper hops up in my lap and falls asleep.
That's my bud!

Fizzle
Fizzle
Mouth Puppet
This guy is a commission for Elmwood Productions' buddies and partners in crime
Party Time Comics is a comic company that publishes the web comic…
Wait for it…
They will be doing more comics soon too!
They wanted something special for their first anniversary and got me to make Fizzle for a special short!
Elmwood is also going to be the home of the Party Time YouTube Page!
Keep an eye out for the fun!
Here's a looks at what I based the puppet on…
The comic is drawn by Gabe Finkinstein and written by Ben Farley… Two regular Elmwood contributors and handsome men!!!
And Fizzle in progress…
While making Fizz I texted Gabe… "When Fiz had no hat… Bald on top?"
Gabe's response: "Do something cool like bald with a third eye on top"
So Gabe was either drunk, or he trusts me as a puppet maker. To be honest he didn't give me much direction, as long as it looked like Fizzle and something from Elmwood Puppets.
And I'm sure Gabe was drunk too.
In the picture above you may also notice the beer… In a Big Bird cozy! The cozy says "Wing Man" and it was gift from Mike! Thanks Mike!
