sit down. 
I'll show you something.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just finished work for Old Kent Road Theater and our newest production- 
Are We Bourgeois, Mon Amour? 

which will be a part of:





THE BUSHWHACK SERIES

MAY 13-15 AND 20-22

AT 8PM

THE BUSHWICK STARR - 207 STARR STREET - BROOKLYN NY - 11237

From the Bushwick Starr site, which can be found at thebushwickstarr.org:

The Bushwhack Series is a performance festival devoted to the development of new experimental work within the neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. This annual series celebrates what is unique about our arts community, and serves as a platform to share that with the larger NYC area. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


to get this work made, sometimes I pull late late nights mid week. Because nothing is fast when you're approaching a deadline. and well, that last sentence should be read- All I do is stay up late and pay for it the next day. 


AND. when I am up late and wrapping my mind around the puppet drying on the kitchen table and what that says about my life in that moment, I feel the need to take a picture and share that image.





This night is brought to you by brown sugar and the plastic mixing bowl. 

Thanks for the support guys.

Onward...


 Almost all of my work likes to pit stop in Philly. Is that because the people there love to watch puppet photo shoots? maybe. Is it because there is a kind couple of friends who bend over backwards and help ease my trips with sprinkle-covered soft serve and the Continental? maybe. 

But I love Philly for 302312+ reasons. and here you can see some puppet head transport. 




I did keep telling her, "stop carrying it through the streets FACING people. it is shocking."

Now, some finished work:




Three "live feed" images of Paris. Again, this is all for our new production.

The seeing eye dog c'est fini!


She is safe and sound in a Brooklyn apartment resting up for her rehearsals and shows. 










WORKING DOG. DO NOT PET.






Cant help it.






Agnes Bidet














She was tired of being in a trash bag. 











And...


She is going to work hard. 





She is sweet. 






gooooood girl.






This one would be our senior high school portrait if we had one. But that would just be silly. because dogs don't go to school.








POW.
