Goblins Reloaded!

First look at one of the new Goblin Chef characters that will replace our existing pair post Halloween. The Goblins were the first characters that Jamie and I ever built and the founding stone of what would become Creature Encounter, so it was through the conception, building and performance of this pair that we learnt what not to do! Re-inventing them eight years later provides an interesting opportunity to test the principles we have learnt along the way, will they work more if they embody everything we have learnt?

Here is a picture from the mystery gig we did last week, even three years on it still amazes me how well this guy photographs. You can just see our new work, Jamie's fabulous sign writing and a fluttering flag, on the left hand side.

One for his personal page me thinks!
