Node Fest

Bob!

A little puppet with a big job.

Who doesn't love puppets?

When James Cowen from Node Fest approached me to create an opening character for the festival, the goal was simple: create a fun and memorable way to welcome the audience and introduce James as he took the stage.

And so, Bob was born.

From character design and rigging through to animation, I brought this little puppet to life with the aim of giving him his own personality, energy and charm. Creating characters that feel alive is always a rewarding challenge, and Bob was a particularly fun one to work on.

Hopefully, this isn't the last we see of him.

I acknowledge that I live, work and create on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

I pay my respects to their elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
