Nick’s Pics
I have sock creatures living in several different states now and these two reside in Oklahoma at my oldest son Nick’s house. He got a new lens for his camera and took these photos with it. I guess I need to buy frames and hang them on the wall with our other family photos.

Love your use of buttons for the eyes.
I teach a puppet seminar for children’s ministry workers and I have students make simple sock puppets. I encourage them to use buttons for eyes instead of “wiggle eyes”.Interesting to find another illustrator who plays with socks on his spare time. ;-)
After watching the full-length sock puppet movie, “The Lady from Sockholm” ( www.sockholm.com ), I was impressed with how they chose button eyes to fit each puppet’s personality/character. Button eyes have so much more character to them.

...those wiggle eyes make your sock guys look like something Grandma made in her crochet class… buttons give your characters a good, creepy weird look…

Puppet #2 looks like he may need a good Orthodontist. Hes got more teeth and gums than an Osmond reunion concert.

Great photos. The guy on too has a certain Tim Burtnesque feel to him the way he’s designed and photogged.
