I’m am very honored and incredibly grateful to have received the Puppetry Award for Awesomeness at the very first inaugural @ablanckcanvas puppetry awards. Thank you so much @joejoeblanck and the Blanck Canvas crew for hosting the event and for celebrating makers and puppeteers. We are unfortunately in a line of work where a lot of us don’t often receive much recognition, and in some cases quite literally don’t get credited for our hard work. So thank you for your support and for everyone who came to the event ❤️ I am very thankful for the short career I have had so far in the puppet fabrication industry especially towards those mentors and coworkers along my journey who have lent me their secrets, guided me in the workplace and have always had time for me to ask them a million questions about their trade. I would also like to thank God for leading me to where I am today. I had another plan for my career path but his plan was way better than I could have imagined. Through him you can achieve anything even making a giant lion 😆 Never give up on your dreams ❤️ #ablanckcanvas #puppetryawards #puppetryawards2026 #puppetry
Painting and prop making commission for @culturejam_fam and @zoosvictoria (Werribee zoo) Christmas market. 4 days to paint and make candy cane/gum drops by myself.
Magpie puppet comission for @ceebsseries definitely a fun one to make. Some test puppeteering by puppet master Lyall Morris at the start of the video there. #magpiepuppet #ceebs #handpuppet #rodpuppet #puppet #birdpuppet #webseries #muppetpuppet #fleecepuppet
As well as making the Aslan puppet I was privileged enough to have the chance to make a wolf mask for the character of Maugrim in Donvale Christian College’s production of Narnia the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. #narnia #wolfmask #epefoam #foammask
Aslan Puppet Final!! This is definitely the biggest puppet project that I have taken on in my early career so far. I am incredibly grateful to the following for supporting me throughout this process: Nic Frame (Donvale’s Drama Teacher) for hiring me a year and a half ago and having complete faith in me to build Aslan, the maintenance team at Donvale for transporting Aslan to and from rehearsals and for letting me share their shed space, to the student puppeteers who gave an incredible performance, to A Blanck Canvas and in particular @lyallmorris for teaching the students how to puppeteer, to the unwavering support of my family and friends and finally to the Lord God himself. There was many moments in the making of Aslan where things almost seems like they came together on their own but I know that it was Gods hand that was guiding me throughout the whole process. Thanks you Lord for bringing together this wonderful production I am very grateful for the fun I had building this puppet and working with the people I worked with. #narnia #thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #lionpuppet #puppet #largescalepuppets #largescalepuppetry #puppetry #threepersonpuppetry #highschoolplay #theatre #foampuppet #largepuppet
