These are a set of props for TED’s online streaming show Cheeky Monsters as seen here. The clock, the monkey and the cushions were all designed using the books characters as inspiration. The clock is used for educational and fun videos teachings kids how to tell the time. Designed as a sketch and then sculpted in Zbrush, the clock was 3d printed, sanded and hand painted and finished, with fabric details.

About Me:

I am a professional puppet maker and creature creator. Also I design, illustrate, sculpt and fabricate. I have a performance background as both an actor and puppeteer. So when I develop characters and build puppets I always approach the project from the point of view of the performer. Due to this I strive to build characters that are engaging and believable, whilst making them a joy to perform. Allowing the puppeteer to get the maximum and most versatile performance out of them. I have worked in puppets and creature FX for a number of years; spanning TV, Film, theatre and online mediums. Please do take a look through my galleries: puppets, Illustration, sculpture, Design or you can look over my experience to see some of the clients and projects I have worked on over the years. if your interested in any of my work please don’t hesitate to contact me.
