Happy World Puppetry Day 2016 edition

Today is World Puppetry Day! A bunch of my friends were in Time Square with the Avenue Q cast to celebrate the day this morning.

Puppets have very deep meaning for me. I honestly can’t think of a time in my life that there wasn’t some form of puppetry in it. For me puppetry is like breathing, it is just something that I do.

Puppets have taken me on some interesting journeys over the years and I have made many incredible friends through puppetry.

So today I celebrate the puppet by working on a puppet.

Behind the cut are photos through the years that are puppet related and kind of special to me.
