Brad's Puppets (Updated 6/8/11)

Hello! I have been horrible about updating this blog since moving to California, however I'm now making an effort to be better about it. I would love to update the look of this thing, and post a lot more pictures of my artwork. I'm working on a few freelance project's along with my new (ish, since march, job.) I recently finished some puppet's for a film, I seamed, painted, and made the costumes for these guys. All the same character 3 costume changes. Also if you are still in the Portland area, Brad's previous film "24 Frames" is playing locally right now, I made the costumes for that as well! Yay!

Moved!

I moved, now I live in San Francisco! I will be posting updated pictures of brad's puppets and Larry's Goats. I've very busy at the new studio, I'm getting to do a little of everything and feel really excited to be part of something so awesome!

Trader Joe's Artwork

Before moving to San Francisco I took a break to work back at Trader Joe's in between projects. (I love working for Trader Joe's) here is a few images of some of my favorite things. I forgot to snap images of my "Big Game" Chicken wings and chips, as well as a couple other favorites ( hoot do you love).. but I will post those on here soon as well!

I love that Trader joe's still supports Artist and staffs 2-5 artist for all their store signage per store. It's a great company and I feel very lucky to always be able to have a place to touch base at where I can work with other talented artist while still enhancing my artistic abilities.

Puppet Process...

Newest Planters commercial

For this commercial I did a lot more Silicone work, I cast the lizard and seamed him. It was a large process first involving him being cast in foam latex then clipping it back and skinning him with silicone, I then painted it all in, seamed him, and because of his texture I was not just able to sand the line away but I had to do many passes of painting on the texture in layers. The butterflies also had tiny armatured arms and legs, which I made cast, and seamed and hand applied the bug like notches. I also shimmer painted their boots, and had made the antenna. The cricket was also a proud moment, I wired, cast and seamed his very tiny arms, paint in cast and seamed his legs, and hand made his antenna. The mice I made the silicone ears, and tails, to which I also made the molds. The 2nd lizard was the same as the first, as well as I made her silicone. The list goes on, but I was heavily involved allover the process for all the puppets, and learned a lot from Katie at Laika house, who graciously taught me mold making amoung many other things. There is one more commercial to come, then i will post making of pictures. Yay!
