Introducing myself Posted by Erik van O on Feb 19, 2008
Good Morning people!
Well I just stumbled upon this site....
Whilst letting latex-rubber dry on a simple witch's head. Actually I was looking for a way to make latex act more clay-like... (it's dripping all over the place). But now that i've even signed in, even put a picture with my profile, let me introduce myself. My name is Erik. I'm an illustrator/ animator/ sculptor/ puppetmaker. Father of two boys (Kamiel, 6 & Marnix, 4 yrs old), married to Maria and she's a photographer.
I've been drawing, scetching and modelling for about fourty years now. And when I grow up I want to be a puppeteer!
greetings from Amsterdam!

Great to have you here at Puppets and Stuff. A few of us dabble in latex. I am presently experimenting with a latex and a foam combination puppet. It's messy but the final product is quite interesting. If the latex doesnt eat the rubber, this puppet will last 100 years...lol
I hope you enjoy your stay here and feel free to comment or add any bit of information you would like.
It's great to have kids around when making puppets....they are the most honest critics..lol
