He’s really rocking that that 3D printing with his talent for movement and his understanding of anatomy. Total puppet rockstar. Hope you can come to The Salmagundi’s Club’s Puppetry Arts Show in 2027!
So inspiring! What a great artist
You failed to mention his raging transphobia.
Wow. The movement of his puppets looks amazing!
His style reminds me of laika studios and I mean that as the biggest compliment 👏 so fascinating and cool!
WOW.
Random YouTube recommendation but wow, what a talented dude!
Now collab with Guillermo del Torro
i appreciate his “forget how it works and enjoy the movement” philosophy, but “how it works” is all i can think about when i see his puppets
2014 is now called “fairly ancient” !
Man i must be a relic then. I am a living fossil.
The fact that someone calls a period in time, he actually lived through, fairly ancient, is so disturbing. I was born in the 70s, i will never call anything between the 70s and today, ancient. I don’t even see the downton abbey era as ancient. Ancient is classic Greek, Roman, Egyptian, era. 2014 is not even old, let alone ancient. Especially for plastics which take centuries to degrade.
I love such people. They are the master of master.
BRILLIANT!!!!!
Jim Henson reborn.
ROCKSTAR 👏
This man is extremely talented this is amazing
I need these puppets in a dystopian video game STAT
Smart boy
AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ingenious!
He needs write a book about this!, knowledge like this should not be lost & forgotten!
Really cool
