False Taxidermy

So a few months ago Blue Zoo Animation (where I have been working) decided to have a little competition to create some False taxidermy for the studio walls. I deiced to create 'Gunter':

 Made using newspaper, cardboard, ModRok, Air dry clay, then painted with acrylic and covered with fur. 

Gunter won me the competition :D 

Zombies Next Door

So for a BBC children's pilot I was asked to design and create a monster puppet. I had just one condition.... that I would get to puppeteer it too! Below are some of the designs, and the final monster...

TV Chat show Alien

This is the design, and the suit of 'Zeldaro', an alien who Hosts a chat show called 'Life from Earth'. An NFTS TV creation from students Tim Partridge, and Omar Kenawi.
I was asked to design their alien host from their specifications, and then make the costume with a working blink.

Cuddly Mr Crisp.

While making 'Bertie Crisp' I also made cuddly toy versions of Bertie and Grace. (well... who needs sleep?) 

And check out this 'Retro' Bertie!!! (Made by Hannah)

Cuddly Toys!!

Making Cuddly Toys has been a hobby of mine for a while. Here are some more of my creation:
