I make a lot of puppets for various reasons. I have built them for shows, for sketches at conventions, for puppet slams, for individuals, and to see if I can do it.

It is rare that I make a puppet specifically for me. There are a couple that have become my puppets like the War Doctor I took onto Capaldi’s TARDIS, Rumpelstiltskin because he grew on me the more I performed with him, and those puppets I have had signed over the years.

But for me to say I am making this puppet for me is practically unheard of.

There would be pictures but apparently my online photo storage is not working and I haven’t found something that I like that stays.

When I started watching anime, it was on Channel 17 in Atlanta which became TBS when cable TV became available. One of the things that they showed was a terrible mash-up of Captain Harlock and Queen of 1,000 years. I was fascinated with both series but really like Harlock. I became a fan of Leiji Matsumoto’s body of work as well.

There are times I thought about building myself a Harlock puppet but I didn’t feel my skills were to a point that I could execute it the way I wanted it.

Well I feel I can do it now. I have resources for things I didn’t have before and materials that have been invented since I first had the idea.

This will be my summer puppet for conventions. There are a couple of others I want to do as well but this one is going to get made.

Yes, there are things here I have not done or not done in a long time, but I do believe this is possible.

I am grateful for my skill set.
