Look out for this man!
He will be on a stand today and tomorrow at the LSCC in London Excel with a variety of super hero puppet bodies that can be attached to your head so that you can instantly become : Judge Dredd, Wonder Woman, Hellboy, Elekra or Invincible!
Like this
They are rather like the little bodies Dick and Dom used to use when they did their show, using their own heads, puppet bodies and a black background to hide the rest of them... but Superheroes!
So the making of was yesterday, and here are the finished bodies for today...
There are sticks on the arms to make them more pose able but they are drawn out in the final piece.
This is just one of the many things going on at the tablet drawing stand with Paul Clarke/ Kercal so you can either check it out in person if you are in London, or check it out on his media sites.

My daughter's boyfriend is a Harry Potter fan so she bought him various bits of Potter and Ravenclaw merchandise for Valentine's Day and then did the most wonderful thing with them.
She wrapped them in brown paper and tied them up with string, then fixed cardboard-backed owls to the parcels!!!
We pinned them to some fabric so you could see the effect...
It's like Owl Post being delivered at Hogworts! Genius!
I wish I'd thought of it... mind you it would have to be skulls delivered by flying Marmite jars to be relevant to my Valentine!
No not real ones... let me put your mind at rest over that before we even start.
If you were around for yesterday's post, you'll have seen the pics of the frogs I have made over the years for my husband, and I said that today that I'd show you what I did with them for Valentines Day.
If you upload photos to https://boomf.com/ they put them onto marshmallows for you! And before you ask... no I'm not sponsored by them (or anyone else for that matter) I just loved the idea.
I don't know what they are usually packaged in but, as it was Valentine's Day, these ones were in the obligatory red.
And labelled with the appropriate care message.
Beautifully boxed and including a matching picture so that, even when you have eaten them, you remember... or thriftily make it into a Valentine's card like I did.
They provide messages you can choose from if you don't want all pictures, and they are for all occasions and none.
Of course it does cost money but then most things do. It is free to go and browse on the page though = )
My husband loves the frogs I make him, mostly because he can fill their mouths with styluses (styli???) when he goes to do events and shows.
So here are a collection of the ones I have made him to date... and following posts will show you what I did with them.
Made from a very weird leather skirt I bought in a charity shop.
M
ade from weird crocodile print fabric over printed with snakeskin texture that I bought from a charity shop.
Made from a very stretchy second-hand top.
Made from some pale green linen fabric from goodness-knows-where.
Made from cheap felt pack, bought in a branch of the Works on holiday to fill a felt-making fetish and celebrate 21 years of marriage (flippin heck!!).
Did you see the adverts on TV for Boomf products over the weeks leading up to Valentines Day? If you did then you may be ahead of the game in guessing my next post!
