Doodling With Jim Henson


Last year I said I'd start posting pages from the book "Doodling With jim Henson" as I do them and photograph them...  I didn't forget!  My camera just died...  But my awesome girlfriend gave me a new camera for my birthday!  I'm going to post them in order, so here are the first few

and thanks again to Maggie for the book!!!

In my head...

Driving home from work my brother popped into my mind.  Not for any specific reason.  He just does from time to time.  Sometimes it's something as small as a fleeting thought of something from when we were kids, other times it some deep thought about what is life and how to live it well...
Tonite it was just a simple some how entry into the head.
And then I couldn't really shake it.  I left work around 8:15ish, and since I hit the road tip now he's still in there, over an hour later.

I wish I could make sense of why this happens, and why this time I can't shake it off with a little laugh about goofy off with him.  I guess I just miss him.  It happens.

Above my desk, where I am typing from right now hangs a "Steve the Vampire" poster from last year's Elmwood Productions tenth anniversary screenings that were happening this month.  Steve is smiling down on me.  And it makes me smile...  Thanks Mike and Jody for the poster.  It's one of the reminders everyday of what I really want to do in this life.  And that's make people smile.  And if I can do it with puppets - EVEN BETTER.

Sometimes our mind's throw us curveballs...  Sometimes "my mind is a pice of shit" hahahaha...  Tonite it's not though.  Tonite I am grateful for the life I have and the people in it...

Sunday nite thoughts...


It is better to walk away?  Knowing you were a success, quietly and with grace...

Or is it better to stay on a sinking ship and scream about glory?

They say rats on ships start swimming away before it sinks.  Before anyone else even sees it coming.  So rats really aren't foolish when it comes to self-preservation. 
As a creative person you try to have yourself on a few ships at once, sailing...  
And sometimes you want to dock before you sink.

Just thinking...

Movies, movies, movies... EVIL DEAD?

As I do trey to keep this blog about my adventures in Puppetry and other art, and sharing things relating to those...  Like music I love, stuff at PiP, other people's puppets, and so on and so on I sometimes veer off into something like this...

I love "Evil Dead" movies.
Love them.
My first thought when I found out a re-make a few years ago was "Why?"  Why re-make a good move?  Shouldn't we be re-making bad movies that could have been good?  And make them good!?

Then I found out Raimi/Campbell were producing.  And I got it.  And I'm in on it.  And I'm more than ready for April 5 to see this flick.

Kevin Smith announced a while ago his intention to make "Clerk 3".  I'm excited.  Love his flicks.  And this week he posted the title page for the script online.  Bring it on Silent Bob, bring it on.

The Muppets keep posting pics online from their next movie, "The Muppets... Again".  As long as they make Pepe bigger part, I'll be a happy camper.  Hell, I'll be a happy camper anyway when it comes out!

Just did a websearch of upcoming "Hollywood" movies.  Not alot I'm excited for right away.  "G.I. Joe 2" will be fun, I'm sure...  The new Oz looks cool (Sam Raimi after all!), and I'm a sucker for all the X-Men movies, so I'll be there to see "The Wolverine" ASAP...
But over all it looks like I'll be spending a lot of my movie watching time on Netflix with the indy's and documentaries...


So back to "Evil Dead"...
It's count down time...
When I figure out what time I'm going to see it I'll even post it here if anyone wants to join us (I'm sure Elmwooders Russ and Nick and Mike and Tricky and Jim will be with me)

27 Days...
