I just want to take a minute to credit someone who does a lot of hard work for me. Alex Lucas is a good friend and writes most of my videos. He also does most of the editing for the videos (I’m learning, but at a very slow rate). He is a talented writer who typically writes much more serious stuff than puppet videos. He has just finished his first novel and is looking to get it published. He is also the founder of Mad Flamingo Media, a start-up company focused on the arts and literature. Look for more of his work in upcoming videos.

Okay, I’m a really big Harry Potter fan, so today as I was driving, I thought: I should do a quick little video to commemorate(in my own way) this momentous occasion. So here it is. I also have plans to take Francis and the owl down to Barnes and Noble Friday night to try to talk to some of the folks there. Wish me luck!

I realized that the head wasn’t looking right, so I made some changes. That’s all part of the process. Puppetry is an art not a science.

This is the first in a several part series that I am doing to document the making of my Red Panda puppet for the Unknown Artist show here in town. I’m gonna take you through the entire process from the first drawing to the actual show. Stay tuned…
