"Wonderland Tea Party" Logo

Logo for our show that I put together in a mad rush to look legitimate for a promo pack I was sending out. Arlette designed and made her own costume, which never fails to get comment.

Jack Frost Costume Design

I whipped up this drawing and then Patricia Toovey transformed it into fabulousness. The photo shows some of the frosty detail she lavished upon it.

Chameleon Logo

I made this for my performance business. Actually, I did the drawing and Lisa Macleod did the color and graphics.... but never really went with it. My graphics Designer friend, Robert, discouraged it. He said that a reptile has nothing to do with performance....What do you think?

Logo for Zambini Brothers Puppet

Jack & The Bean Stalk

Here are some monster (masks) and a Giant (Puppet) design for a Jack & The BeanStalk production that I'm doing through Zambini Brothers. It will be mostly cardboard construction.

Tech Force III

Primping the actors on the set of TECH FORCE III, with director Sam McJunkin. A Dell computer project. Not sure who designed the puppets. It was a spoof on the TEAM AMERICA style of marionette. The eyes and mouth were remote control. Dan and Sean were the marionetteskateer masters. Fun project. Clay Martin and Bill Jarcho worked on the project as well. Here's a link to all the photos taken by camera man Mark Mcknight. http://gallery.me.com/markmcknight/100388

Animal Farm

From 11 years ago. Made this with Adam Ende, Maria Fe Vilda, Arlette & Norma. I painted the set in 3 HOURS! We did a lot of elaborate shadow puppet work with this show.

Gilgamesh

This is a mask production of "Gilgamesh" that I did wtih Mercer High school in Seattle. The kids were rolling their eyes the entire time, but the performance wound up being great.

Free Rangers

A Zambini Brothers Puppet made by Nancy Foster Moss, Bill Jarcho and me. First run of it at teh saturday market on Vashon Island.

These were the desgins for a couple "Byrd Ryder" puppets for Zambini Brothers. One puppet is almost done, and it has turned into A CHICKEN being ridden by a COWBOY. We're targeting State Fairs. http://zambinibrothers.com/

Retro Rumpus Shots

Video Set for Children's Educational "music video"

This project was a ton of work & fun. I created faux instruments, a set, and lots of cartoon cutout props. The crew & cast had a good time shooting this video, I guess 'cause it was so visually cool. It's rare to feel like the set is the star of the show. I can't wait to get the final edited version. I worked out the design concept with the director, Bill Jarcho of Zambini Brothers.
