Knight Hand Puppet

This is a little hand puppet that I built recently. I must say, the big moustache is my favorite feature.

In recent weeks, I’ve been busy being a new Dad and loving every moment of it. Now I’m back to the studio working on some fun puppet projects which I can’t share just yet, but stay tuned…

I’d also like to congratulate John Carlin and the Kid’s Music Underground on their new TV pilot which will include three of Thistledown’s puppets. Below is an excerpt from John explaining the show’s concept:

“We’re just putting the finishing touches on a kids’ television show pilot that we’ll be shopping to the networks. In each episode, my character comes to the aid of a child guest by traveling to a distant culture and learning about its people, food, customs and music,” Mr. Carlin explained, “with the help of three pretty amazing character puppets. We shot the majority of it in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival in 2009.”

Sounds fun and I can’t wait to check it out.
