Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus!
August 24, 2011 at 8:29 PM | Posted in characters, dinosaurs, dragon con, movies | Leave a commentAnother project I have been working on is for the infamous Dragon Con in Atlanta, over Labor Day weekend. The project is a Dilophosaurus from the movie Jurassic Park. My husband and a few friends have been researching a few generic characters on THE big Jurassic Park fan website, Jurassic Park Legacy,so I think we will look pretty sharp. Steve and I will be veterenarians,and I will be carrying a very ill-tempered young dinosaur. 
This is Clementine, nearly finished.

Here are some characters from my upcoming show Handsome Prince Barbecue, about a dragon who needs to bring home the main ingredient for his and his wife’s barbecue–a handsome prince. In the process, he brings home everything but the right thing until he at last comes across a handsome prince.

Noland, the hapless husband dragon, and me.

Sludgey!
June 23, 2011 at 6:15 PM | Posted in commissions, friends, fun stuff, monsters | Leave a commentI’m working on a commission for The Sexy Armpit, a blog about pop culture in New Jersey. It’s a great site and I’m proud to be a part of bringing its slimy green mascot character, Sludgey, to life.
Bit by bit, he is taking shape. Next come layers of green fleece “slime”.

Let the video get to about 4 minutes in to see this extraordinary work of art in motion. I love Hugh Jackman’s face, out in the audience.:D
Spookygirl, by Jill Baguchinsky!
June 17, 2011 at 9:23 PM | Posted in books, friends | Leave a commentFriend and fan of Puppatoons Jill Baguchinsky did something incredible and special–she WON the Young Adult Fiction contest for Amazon!!! She won, she won, she won and now she’s gonna be PUBLISHED! I am so proud of my dear friend.
Her winning entry novel, Spookygirl, is available for pre-order at Amazon!
Here’s the scoop: Violet Addison can chat with the dead, but what really frightens her is starting her sophomore year at a new school. Still reeling from the loss of her mother, Violet is about find herself in the company of ghosts . . . both playful and deadly evil. Standing at the threshold to an unseen world with newfound friends at her side, only Violet can uncover the truth behind her mother’s death and save the family business–paranormal investigation.
Trust me folks; if you like a ghost story with dashes of humor and wit and a good helping of mystery, this is the tale for you. I know I’ll be ordering it.
Commission: Cuddly Toy Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man!
June 17, 2011 at 9:15 PM | Posted in charities/fundraisers, commissions, events, ghostbusters, movies, shop | 2 CommentsI was asked by my fellow Ghostbuster Brock Parker if I could make an item to auction off for charity at our Ghostbusters II Screening Event that will take place at The Alabama Theater on July 30. The proceeds will go toward helping the victims of the recent tornadoes in Alabama. I said,”Sure thing, Brock, whatever you need”. He asked for a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, and here you go.:) it took a while to get the shapes for the arms right..or at least as right as I could get them…XD but he is very cuddly and soft, made of fleece and felt and ready to be cuddled.
He will be going up for auction to benefit Alabama tornado victims as part of The Alabama Ghostbusters‘ GB2 movie event July 30th!
Silver Scream Spook Show!
June 17, 2011 at 9:07 PM | Posted in characters, monsters, other projects, Puppatoons Event Appearances, Siver Scream Spook Show, special effects | Leave a commentSome of the Puppatoons monsters will be making their live stage debut July 25, in The Silver Scream Spook Show at The Plaza Theater in Atlanta! It’s a bit of a test run, but Professor Morte is very stoked about having them. Wish us luck! Morte is especially interested in featuring Gruno and Gliz, and Halbag. At last, these monsters will get the live show time they so richly deserve.:)
