There has been a trend recently of the artist contrasted with the art and I thought I’d make one for marionettes. Maybe I’ll make a separate one for costumes and comics too. #artvsartist #artvsartist2019 #marionette #marionettes #puppets #marionetas #artdoll #artdolls #kine…

A few years ago I did a piece of fan art for one of my favorite Podcasts, a wildly funny and weird satire political show called The Red State Update. The duo of Travis and Johnathan would create surreal storylines around the town of Murfreesboro Tennessee where all manner …

SooOOOOOOooo, I get asked about puppet eyes… a LOT. I have a video on YouTube about making puppet eyes and the worst thing is that it’s only… Part 1 (and I never was able to upload part 2) The consequence is that I get asked about how to make puppet eyes at least twice a we…

One very important character in NOTAMAN is the antagonistic robot, D-903, which ANDi (our protagonist) comes into conflict with near the midpoint of the story. This robot comes from the same series as ANDi but is significantly more corrupted by errors and conflicts, making…

Inspired by big band music, I came up with this little ditty, all with a capella instrumentation! I'm especially happy w/how the horn sounds turned out :)

Anyone on Long Island have a room for rent? I need to move out of here as soon as I can save up enough money to do so. Preferably something close to the bus lines until I can get a new vehicle, that would allow me to have the cats. #seekinghousing

The penciling and the study of my live fast, eat trash fat raccoon. What's a good hashtag for "Human drawn art?" We should start one. It probably doesn't mean much now but it might at some point. #fatraccoon #livefastdieyoung #livefasteattrash #wip

I needed a respite to work on a personal project for a few days so I played hookie. This is ANDi, a robot character I’ve been writing a story about since 2005. I put him aside for a long time while I did other things but he’s back and I’m excited to bring his story out int…

We are workers who owned the means of production for the game we made & sold. We received the full profits of our labor (save venue & publisher %) & distributed it equally amongst the workers who made the game. Socialism is when workers control things & benefit from their work.

I’m releasing a SMALL number of additional marionette kits due to having some extra parts left over. These will ship out a little later than the main batch. (May 10th instead of April 15th) Get ‘em while they’re here at this price! geahk.art/product-page/mario…

A very quick series of drawings about how I attach a shoulder on my marionettes. (This is for puppets wearing a shirt—nude puppets get a different shoulder joint) I leave just a bit of room between the parts for mobility. #marionettebuilding #puppetmaking #didactic #instr…
