I have to interrupt our travel report from South America for a moment with a current post.

Very, very similar pictures are popping up everywhere at the moment, showing a person as a small plastic action figure, complete with various accessories originally packed in a sales package. These images are usually all generated with AI. Except for a small independent trend where artists make their own versions of their action figures; often drawn, but also folded from paper, crocheted or modelled from plasticine.

Here is my take on this phenomenon:
The Garstl action figure. 100% AI-free. Completely classic, manual image retouching.

Adda loves our lodge! The complex of several palm leaf-covered wooden cabins is built entirely on stilts - as protection against floods and all kinds of creatures that are at home in the jungle.
The cottages are connected to each other by a system of covered walkways and bridges, so that the entire small village appears to float above the ground.

Image description:
1/5 Adda, a small, fluffy creature with white fur stands on a covered walkway made of wood, which branches out in different directions in the depth of the picture.

2/5 Another of the covered bridges. It leads straight into the depths of the picture, where it ends at an airy cabin.

3/5 A footbridge branches out in the centre of the picture. One branch leads to a cabin, another part ends in the background in front of another cottage.

4/5 Part of the lodge seen from the outside. Two wooden cabins on stilts. In front of them is a palm leaf-covered, roofed footbridge connecting the two cabins.

5/5 The main building of the lodge. Also a simple hut on stilts. A staircase with several steps leads up to the entrance door. To the left and right of the building, footbridges lead to other parts of the lodge.

Many opera singers appeared as guests on The Muppet Show, starting with the great Beverly Sills in 1979. Schmopera has an article about that, with a selection of videos:

It’s odd, but some people still react to puppets, muppets or marionettes in opera as if it were strange or new. This season alone there are THREE operas with puppets at my theater! L’elisir d’amore, Der kleine Prinz, and La muette de Portici.

SchmoperaMuppets at the operaThere is this fascinating relationship between opera and the Muppets.  Considering that The Muppet Show follows the blueprint of the classic revue show, it’s not that odd; revues are built on sophisticated satire of anyone or anything famous at the time.

Musical Interlude: I know I've posted it before, but I watch this video every October. It's got the perfect playful spookiness for the Halloween season, and the whimsical mix of puppetry and animation delights me.

"Mysterious Mose," performed by Harry Reser and the Radio All-Star Novelty Orchestra, animation/puppetry by Seamus Walsh and Mark Caballero.

We had an amazing public turnout for 2024 Esquimalt Lantern Festival. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen this year. I was working the lanterns making station inside the pavilion until 8pm. I walked around some of the festival after my shift.
