Pirate Monkey Art: Hand crafted props, dead fairy displays, replica raven skull and the fanciful macabre.
Installations & Fabrications
Planchette votive holders with screen printed table cloths for table seating at a local theater.
The beginnings of a horned headpiece for televised drag show.
Here's a Xmas tree that is hiding an aerial apparatus. It had to break apart as the piece was lifted in the air
Prospero's magical staff for an outdoor production of The Tempest
Sooo many CDs for the VIP booths at a hotel space variety show.
All those buttons and things were installed over the house seats, then the neon sign with its protective shield (because of projectiles... originally)
Installing a local tv studio. Had to completely gut the old set to make room for all the pretty new stuff. I'm leveling the floor here.
This show needed a big heavy log that the actors could sit on... and lift without hurting themselves.
The beginning of a magic trick, shh, don't tell how it's done.
Pretty sure I have no reason to be in this mobile escape game. But here we are.
This production needed a severed head of one of their actors. But they didn't really want to cut his head off. I guess this is the next best thing.
Sometimes I get to do science on shiny new things to make them look... not shiny and new. This took about an hour to make the medical tools rusty and gnarly.
Making a steampunk version of a twisty box illusion for a holiday show.
A circus show thought this was an excellent way to engage with the audience for the pre-show. The thing I'm wearing, not me.
A full sized coffin for a steampunk horror show.
Some puppet creation happening here. I was given a loose description and had to design and build in, what always seems to be the case, minimal time. Like need it by yesterday. It had a really cool beak clacky sound.
More puppety stuff here. This was over 13 feet long! I designed and built this behemoth.
Here's a blood effect razor blade. The actor could open and close the "blade" and create a bloody slash or squirt by using the palmed bladder.
Here is a Unicorn fossil, commissioned for a midwestern childrens show.
An art gallery downtown asked for freestanding display walls that could be rolled around. I came up with this design for an 8'x8' rolling wall.
I did the install for this tv studio set. Pretty cool to see it come together in the end (zone). I'll see myself out.
Sometimes the MC absolutely needs a sparkly mic.
A bomb puzzle in a trunk. Like an escape room, but you're already out. You still gotta solve the puzzles though, or the "bomb" goes boom.
Sometimes my girls get to come to work to drop off props with me.
