Herb started the whole thing, he is a project several years in the (re)making. Herb is the other half of the lead of Crash Pad with Chad the Bird.

Mooch is a live hand puppet built much larger than usual. He’s a crowd-pleaser and a favorite to perform.

Built for a music video, Scraps is the perfectly lovable retriever - his name came from the remnants of fabric that brought him to life.

Salty sure looks like fun, but he HATES the winter and the kids and the cheer, oye. He turned out exactly as conceived which is a triumph.

Resident conspiracy theorist, Mole gets most of his news from the tabloids that line his cage. But, he’s adorable.

Another addition to the archetype cool girls - Trish has a custom wig designed just for this project.

Kim Lynn is the final addition to the archetype cool girls.

My boy Blu would totally be into tic toc, insta and any of the other social time wasters. For now, he’s waiting for his patreon to get traction.

This was for a local parody show that never got produced but needed ‘topical’ political hosts. The idea was to replicate without going too caraciture.

Ol’ 45 was another host for the unproduced project - he now live in Flordia.

The first of several monsters for a PayPal industrial training video. One of my favorites.

Here to party, or chill, or netflix, or pizza, or to party, or pizza. Another fun monster.

This monster was a bit like Srcaps - sometimes you just have to make something with what you have and it starts to form itself.

Ol’ Red is a bit of a spaz and a total scaredy pants - lot’s of hand laid feathers brings out the crazy for this monster.

Boner is a mechanical reverse ventriloquist design. The head has three points of movement including a fully articulate jaw. Boner also has a fully articulated hand with four independent fingers.

Just a quick cast shot for a music video project where all were required.

Chad the Bird is the brainchild of Josh Zagoren and was commissioned for weekly performances at the Paper Machete at the Green Mill.

Punch and Judy were made out of polymer clay for a production of Joan of Arch. They are grotesque and charming at the same time.

'Joe' is a 6-point-of-movement mechanical crow that has full functioning wings and head movement. The trigger mechanism engaged the wings to expand out, splay and flap via the performer.
