I’m not a hand pupeteer, but more of a costumed performer. I consider them puppets because one basic definition of a puppet is that it’s an extension of your body.

I did do a hand puppet thing for this video presentation at the Clio awards, but that was only two seconds and the puppet was heavy.

So, you’re at a party and you want to talk to people and maybe meet someone special. But you think in your head: what if I’m too fat, what i’m too short, what if they don’t like me.

The funny thing is that most likely, the people around you are thinking the same thing. We all have insecurities, maybe they handicap some people more than others. but it’s the same kind of insecurity.

and most likely, people aren’t think negative things about you as much as they are thinking negative things about themselves.

so we’re all kind of fearful and shy and self loathing. All the people at this party. and that’s what we have in common. and iy’s really fun when you put that aside and just talk to a person. When you learn to respect this person (you don’t have to like people, but respect them).

as soon as i had enough money, i did it. And at the time I wasn’t sure if I’d get laid off or not. But everything turned out for the best and I’ve been out for over a year now.
