Dan Deacon - Paddling Ghost

2009-11-24T00:28:00.000-08:00

Dan Deacon's - Paddling Ghost music video, directed by Natalie van den Dungen... Puppets by me, shot in Melbourne. After first constructing the skeleton pirate with his mechanized jaw, I built the Dan puppet out of a pink bath towel and a lovely orange bed spread. The Paddling Ghost himself is a pillow case, two rubber bands and a spoon. Being our own boss, we managed to trick ourselves into a day off and spent an entire afternoon at the Dali exhibition.

Natalie directed it so she is particularly great, it also features some super tidy puppeteering by Heath McIvor plus heaps of other top stuff done by other great people in Melbourne, check the list, there's lots.

Anyone with a keen eye will see that the pirate flag and trousers are made out of a very well loved pair of Stubbies.

For occasions such as Halloween where you may come across your 3 3/4 inch co-pilot decapitated with a shovel. A classic and universal alternative to help your Corellian scoundrel navigate a safe passage to the Alderaan System.

Rubber mask for your favourite Star Wars figure.

Sculpted by me with my mind and a stick.

Beware!!... Old Puppets.

2009-02-20T04:59:00.000-08:00

This series of marionettes I made at the age of 17... Horror films and puppets had truly placed a firm grip on my developing brain and well being by this stage and after a childhood spent ruining 'the good scissors' chopping up mattresses and cushions, obsessing over sponge foam... I that year graduated to latex and molds. These old photos aren't too bad, though the convenience and versatility a digital camera could have lent to archiving these fledgling efforts would have been greatly welcomed back then.

Vincent Price as Dr Phibes was the 5th head I sculpted... I carried it around and cared for it like a new born baby for many years... protecting it, transferring it from freezer to freezer after identifying that as the safest spot to prevent it from melting and getting squished. I eventually did get around to molding him, but alas fell out of love with what was now a rather old sculpt.

They're now all rotting away in a box in Australia, ravaged by time, cursed by a double edged sword both magic and cruel.

Of note are the Transylvanian sausages that I obviously at the time thought would make terrific looking fingers.

Rubber monsters are fraught with heartbreak.. first and last lesson learned.

Here's a Photoshop cobble job design of a space craft thingammy. Everyone enjoys a nice spaceship from time to time, including me. I think the end result proved worth the trip. Long pointy nose, a super konky angle, pretty plumes of smoke and a ruddy big whooooosh all assist this vehicle as it bursts the frame into your pleasure dome.

Cosmic Rays of Death—R-Type

2008-10-17T21:33:00.000-07:00

Long time collaborators Simon Ward and Don Brooker, with help from Luke Rowell and the band, once again have discarded the baskets on the front of their bicycles and put aside the recipe book. Gleaning numerous outer rim coin laundries and regular sized druids, the team have irrepressibly emerged triumphant holding aloft a splendid plumage of intergalactic 8 bit proportions for The Cosmic Rays Of Death.

R-Type cost three boxes of matches, two cups of milk and one caterpillar’s dignity.

The EP ...Of Doom is in stores now... it contains six tracks to smash protons to!!

Kenneth Middleton.. he's from Mars, (that's way up in outer space.) A little grumpy in this shot having not quite managed to get all the sand out of his bum before he left the house. That's a bronze medal around his neck... competitive sandcastle tournaments are very big on Mars particularly in the north and 3rd is not a bad effort but he has something quite special planned for next years big event. Those things levitating beside him are orbs... the left one is the ships navigator and responsible for keeping Kenneth out of the sun and off crappy television shows whilst visiting other planets..... and the one on the right is full of sandwiches!!!!
