Puppetry
Some of my hero’s include Kermit the Frog, Audrey II, and Salacious B. Crumb (for whom I was given my middle initial). I love any excuse to take out the papier-mâché, armature wire, and fishing line and create some creatures of my own. Here are some of the puppets I’ve designed, built, and performed with.
