The following characters were built by John Kennedy using many techniques. John likes to sculpt in foam rubber, airbrush the faces, and fabricate the bodies with soft materials. Some of his other characters require a complex molding process for a more realistic latex skin. A standard puppet takes John 10 days to build, however a lot of thought goes into designing John's creatures before he even begins the building process. The puppets represented here were not all designed by John. Though some came from John's imagination, others came from outside artists and some from real photos of people.
