In Bangkok on a puppet shoot.... How fun is that?

This is Mr. Puppet Puppertin the Puppety puppet that I am using for a puppet gig in Bangkok Thailand. Seriously though it's a shoot for DHL and this puppet has been dolled up (no puppet pun intended) to resemble one of the upper management figureheads in the DHL company. It's a fun gig and I always love visiting Bangkok... it's such a crazy place. I am also working with an old friend Jaclyn Chan whom I have not worked with in a long while. she was on of the writers on my Planet Bizzaro TV show and we are working together again. It's a blast so far... but today is the big day and boy am I looking forward to it.

THE VERDICT IS OUT

Well it was a difficult choice to make but I have to thank all my friends on Facebook as well as Twitter and other online venues for giving me your feedback. Sometimes when you are endeavoring to do something creative you have to step back and get away from it for a bit. The feedback I got and all in all from the blog to the Facebook comments I got, some of which I posted up on the blog, I probably had over 50 different votes telling me which cover to use. I heard from Peers and graphic designer friends not to mention friends who have kids in the age group I am writing this book for, so all your feedback was very helpful. So with all that said I finally came to the decision to use the cover designed by my great friend Matt Ficner. So here it is... the new cover of my upcoming book SPACE SCURVY- THE TWO ISLANDS OF CAPTAIN CULPEPPER. If this is not the cover you voted for, please don't let that keep you from getting the book for either your kid or some other fantastic kid that you know and love. What ever you do.... don't judge this book by it's cover. 

THANKS 

Brian

Credit where credit is DUE

Wow It's humbling to see how many wonderful friends from face book and other online venues have come to my blog and voted on the cover for my upcoming Space Scurvy book. I really appreciate it. I do, however wanna give some credit to a great friend of mine. I had one friend post how inspired she was by my blog and how creative she finds it. I appreciate the wonderful kudos, but there is a lot of stuff on my blog that visually was created by my dear friend Matt Ficner, designer, creator, puppeteer and puppet builder extraordinaire. Matt and I have known each other and worked together on numerous projects  for many years and he has lent his creative mind to bringing to life many of the wacky creatures I have dreamed up. Starting with the creepy space pirate with the cyborg teddy bear, Zargon, who is at the top of the blog, to the illustrations of my new book, Matt has been a creative inspiration to me and a wonderful friend. (Homeless Joe waving on the left, is both a creation of Matt's and one of his wonderful puppet creations. He created him for his Creepy Puppet Project, which you should check out on You tube. Anyway I just want anyone and everyone who comes to my blog to know that the creative stuff you see is almost always the collaboration of myself and creative friends of mine like Matt. I myself do love to be creative and you can find within my Tweeker book as well as my little Bizzaros book, some of my illustration attempts. Anyhoo.... Matt your my hero :) Thanks
