Work In Progress: A Winged Penis Marionette and a Bird Marionette

 I started work on a winged-penis marionette, based on a Roman fascinus. The wings and scrotum will be movable to give the puppet “character”. It will be on a wire controller.

I continue to work on the bird marionette. I like how it’s turning out. Legs and paint, and then the rigging of the strings to come.

Corpse Puppet

 I built a combo puppet: a finger puppet inside a hand puppet. Or it’s a finger puppet dressed in a body bag?

Painting and Puppets

 Two oil paintings.

The Axe and Seax needs to dry and to be oiled-out, and I’m nearly finished with The Raven.

The bird marionette is coming along pretty well.

I’ve been planning some more puppets in my sketchbooks.
