I am deeply saddened by this news. I did not know Jim very well. We had only exchanged a few messages back & forth. I do know that his name was connected to Puppetry as long as I can remember. And, I know that he did much good work for this art form…

This is wonderful! I was able to see several of the Tillstrom OZ puppets that are in the Detroit Institute of Arts' collection. Really beautiful creations! Too bad they had so little exposure or use. I have been doing some research on Jean Gros. Whe…

String animation hole . . . wasn't that the name of an ACTUAL punk band from the 1970s? :) He's looking great Phillip!

Dan, I use a metal blade on the band saw & it lasts quite a long time. The steel is quite thin.

Eric, these leg pieces were carved from Poplar & White Pine. The finished figure will only wear an open vest & cargo shorts. so chest & legs will be seen. I do wish I could leave them natural wood, but it would not appropriate for this character.

The first time I appeared was 2006 in Sao Paulo where I and several other puppeteers entertained 40,000 spectators at once in an outdoor park with the help of a director & 3 camaramen capturing the puppet close-ups that were projected on giant screens placed a… Continue

Hey Phil:
Thanks for posting all your photos of your marionette construction. We have found it very informative and interesting. Though I've been building marionettes for 20 years, I am now sure that my basic intruction of marionette making was very, very flawed. Your photos really help see the development of your style and your construction techniques. Thanks again for posting them.

Woha, I´m just totally awestrucked to fing your profile.
I saw "beeing John Malkovich" and for sure I payed much attention to the credits, because your performance was really amazing. I never ever even imagined that a marionette can ROLL.
That´s how I knew about you. So I also researched a little bit more and saw your own webpage with some videos. Too bad that I´m not living in America to see a show of you, but I still love your work. (at least that what I was able to see through the movie and videos.

I've learned a lot from Molby. The way the body on the Beast was constructed is very interesting -- it allows for him to turn and twist and bend in all sorts of ways. BTW, that puppet was definitely recostumed from another figure -- can you see the other pair of pants underneath? And the boots -- going up to the knee, but not showing on the Beast costume...
