Photos of the finished Freddy

Today I got sent some photos of the finished Freddy puppet on set.
Freddys Crazy Kitchen is a stop motion Pilot by Cecile Noldus, a Hamburg based film maker and artist.
She says, that she's happy with the head I fabricated for the puppet, so it is good to hear that.
I am really looking forward to seeing the finished film. It is full of wonderful ideas.

Action Figure - Boris

I am making an action figure out of a sculpt I did of a friend of mine. I've always thought he deserves a cool action figure of himself as he definitely is a real life hero.
It's all learning by doing. Luckily I have a nice collection of superhero toys for inspiration...
