Is it spring yet?
This version of this song always makes me think of spring nites...
I don't know why...
I'm ready for the sunny skies, green grass, and warm afternoons... Hurry up Mother Nature!

Podcasts....
The last one I did on The Shadow Nation got me wondering how many I have been on. I was trying to remember them all... It's not too many, just 5!.. But more than I could place in my head, so I went and looked them all up.
I believe this is all of them here, if you wanna listen to me babble!
Honestly, I haven't listened to any of the episodes I've done, just seems weird!
Maybe now that I have them all saved here I'll break down and do it!

World Puppetry Day!
To say I love the art of puppetry is an understatement.
It is my life. My passion. And at times, an obsession.
And not just the type of puppetry I do. I love all kinds, and try my best to learn as much as I can about each one, see shows, films, etc. whenever I can.
It is an art form that has enriched my life.
So how does one "celebrate" world puppetry day?
As a puppeteer and puppet maker I will definitely spend some time today working on my art.
And as a fan of puppets I will watch something... New? old? I don't know yet.
What can you do? Seek out a local puppeteer and see if any shows are happening, go online and rent/download a film featuring puppets... Hug a puppeteer and thank them for keeping this ancient art alive in these times... Check out your local puppetry guild, and Puppeteers of America!
And I be a fool not to mention my own work here! Want to help this puppeteer? Check out the films I have worked on at VHX and at YouTube!
And on a total other note...
Eleven years ago today Prince released one of his BEST albums, 3121.
I can't believe it was that long ago. Right now the album is out of print, but easily found used online. I heard it's getting re-released soon though!

Heather - Post Nose Job
HEATHER
Mouth Puppet from "The Risley Brothers
The picture above is of the newer "Heather". She got a little facelift (and more) as the series goes on.
One of my favorite parts of revisiting the characters from the short film and turning it into a series was being able to mix it up, make a new Wes, and update Heather, and add some new dynamics as far as performers were concerned.
I think the show of "The Risley Brothers" is wicked cool, and hope that as you see it you'll love it as much as I do!
Below is a look at Heather's nose job in progress!
