Now that the website is up and running again I can get back to puppet building. I haven't gotten much actual building done the past few weeks but I have been busy picking up all the supplies and costuming I'll be needing. It's always a challenge to find puppet-sized clothing and props; I'm a bit of a stickler for realism and highly realistic/detailed costuming and props so I was fortunate to find Bear City, a new store that just opened at the Scarborough Town Centre. It's filled will all sorts of teddy bear-scaled clothes, everything from boots to shoes to police uniforms...they even have tiny little boxer shorts!

I have some new video clips posted in The Video Vault. These are from the aborted 1996 short film version of Bear Town. This was pretty much a student film from eight years ago so I'm not crazy about the look of puppets themselves, but the videos are still worth a quick peek if you're interested and have a decent Internet connection. The files are only 160x120 but they're pretty hi-res (7 - 12 mb each).

Well, that's all for now...have a happy ho-ho-ho everyone!
