Shops closed April 6 to April 30

The Etsy Crankbunny Shop will be closed from April 6 to April 30. All orders placed before April 6 will have gone out in the mail by April 30th - they will NOT ship out AFTER the 30th (a few people always ask/get confused!. No exceptions - I will be out of time and not have any of my papers, tools, etc with me.

The regular Crankbunny store will still be taking orders from April 6 to April 30th - but all orders submitted between that April 6 - April 30th period will ship out May 1st. No exceptions - I will be out of time and not have any of my papers, tools, etc with me.

Work is again taking me prisoner (ok, not really) and taking me away from my home for a job during that time in April. You can read all about my 'work' here.

Etsy Crankbunny Shop Closed August 14 - Regular Shop stays open!

The Etsy Crankbunny shop - at http://crankbunny.etsy.com - will be closed from August 13th to whenever (prob mid Sept or so)! The regular shop will stay open at http://shop.crankbunny.com - so get your cards and magical puppets there!. The regular shop has the new orchid pop up cards available, all the paper puppets and custom pop up cards.

Why? Because I'm gonna go back to working on my film that's been ping-ponging between back-burner and total creative frustration for the last two years. Time to get it done - or atleast half done or closer to finished. It's not easy and the process of animating real puppet shadows is not something you can do quickly. I'll also be working at my regular animation job too until mid October. Whoo(pie)!

Here are a few sneak peak stills from the movie "Soda" and the movie poster for it.

Etsy Shop is back open!

My whole work schedule got messed up so both the shops are back up and running! Woo!

Just a small post to remind everyone my Etsy Crankbunny shop is closed for the month of October while I animate away on a personal project. I have left my other regular online Crankbunny shop open though and some pop up cards are available through it.

When the etsy shop reopens in November there will be new Crankbunny goodies, pop-up cards, holiday gifts and deals.

New animated trailer for da'Palooza!

Check out the new animated trailer!



The trailer is a peak into the life of Paul Palooza - the explorer and self-proclaimed puppetologist who is the center character of the new book Paper Puppet Palooza.
