Artist's Comments

This little guy is one of the puppet stars of my art history project: a movie based on what it would be like if they taught kids about the plague on sesame street!

The show features puppet and human characters dealing with death and re-creating famous scenes from plague-era art.

This cuddly little fleece-and-cardboard fellow here is death, he stars in skits such as "death and the maiden" and "dance of death"

He also reminds me of Elmo, because he is responsible for KILLING sesame street (yes, we're all onto you, Elmo)

his head makes funny clacking noises when he talks. His two arms are operated by a stick, similarly to kermit the frog.

See Death in action! (the first and second act of my art history project here!) 1. [link]

awwww I want one!!!! it's so adorable!!! I think they should also teach kids about things like that aswell... they want to teach them all about history but they never want to tell them the bad things... and they they wonder why they get so upset when they find out the gold fish they had when they were 2 didnt really go to a big farm that had a nice big pond...

ah, yes. numbers and letters are nice, but there are some things that you wish you had been taught as a kid that you just need to find out the hard way.

(that's what "Avenue Q" is about, too)

I spent 45 minute break we have before class making the head out of a cardboard box that they were going to throw away, then Mary helped me sew together his body after school. I painted his head with acrylic paint after class.

Dont go touching rat with fleas!

The first movie was kinda longish but the script was funny.

He looks kinda cool, but I imagine his voice of death would be funny with a hick gravely voice..Something like a trucker.
