Political satire has a vibrant tradition in Britain, and one of the most dynamic recent programs was a puppet show in the 1990s called Spitting Image.
From the point of view of puppeteering, the characters are caricatures come to life, with a tremendous range of hand, mouth, and eye movements. The scripts and performances are crisp, over-the-top, and rude.
Spitting Image has returned with all new episodes lampooning the current crop of politicians, including Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Prince Charles, and Meghan & Harry.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you use for the painting surface with casein. I'm thinking gessoed watercolor paper for practice, but what for a piece for sale?
ReplyDeleteWhidbeywoman, You could use gessoed heavyweight watercolor paper or illustration board or wood panel.
