With my fourteen year old nephew’s permission, I am linking to his story, the king saved the king of popcorn. He is striving for a dadaist sensibility — he told me so. I think this story succeeds admirably.

Here’s a teaser.

Bizarre. I designed these puppets years ago and evidentally they are being used in a remount now. Willamette Week reviewed the production and had this to say about my work.

The puppets, designed by Mary Robinette Kowall [sic]¹ , are detailed, lifelike and sometimes capable of expressing quite nuanced emotions.
