Mark has excelled at the art of making and performing puppets since an early
age. If you live in the Montgomery, AL area, you may have seen his puppets
on
television
in several
holiday promotional spots and commercials.
Below
you'll find photos of just a few of Mark's many
fine puppet creations.
This
picture is from 1980, showing Mark at age 10
with puppets that he made for a church puppet
show of the Adam and Eve story. Mark is on the
right, holding his home-made Janice replica,
who played Eve -- and "shamelessly bared
her orange felt skin in a church!" -- and
a Bigfoot doll that played Adam. His friend Craig
is holding the devil puppet, made from Janice's
scraps, and the serpent. Craig also performed
the Tree bearing the Forbidden Fruit.
Mark was recently the First
Prize winner of the ToughPigs.com "True
Tales of Muppet Fandom Contest". See
