My Artistic Journey…On A New Blog
Posted on January 26th, 2010 by Philip
At least once a week as I’m building puppets in my workshop, I come across some doodle or painting that I’ve done over the years (like the one above that I did on our honeymoon in Ireland) and I always think…”Wow—I forgot all about that!”…and nobody sees it but me. Maybe that’s a good thing, but when you create something you at least want SOMEONE to see it…besides your wife.
Puppets are my art now…and I put everything I’ve learned over the years into designing and performing them. So I’ve created a new blog as a place for me to show some of the artistic journey that I’ve taken over the years. So for anyone who’s interested, I’ve dusted off a bunch of images and will try to update it as often as Thistledown will allow.
Wow, I LOVE this. The (deceptive) simplicity, depth and beauty is wonderful. Is this hanging in your house? It should be.
Hello, I came across your blog and website from seeing the amazing puppet you created for Corey Godbey. Your puppets are just amazing. I think the art form of making puppets and marionettes is so very interesting. I would love to create one of my own someday. I was equally thrilled reading about your company that you are in Roanoke/Salem VA. My son is attending Roanoke College. We are from the Syracuse, NY area. So next time I visit him will do a drive-by to see where your at. A silly reason to be so trilled but hey your work is pretty cool.
I visited your art blog and your work there is just as amazing. I will continue to check back in to see what’s new.
