			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More World of Heroes goodness! This time I made a Catwoman costume for their &#8220;Cosplay Piano&#8221; series for our very talented pianist, Sonya Belousova.</p>
<p>We decided on sort of a mash-up of Catwoman&#8217;s current comic look, and Michelle Pfeiffer&#8217;s Catwoman.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C8L4xnhlocM" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>The suit was purchased and heavily altered to extend the neck and zipper. The arms and legs were shortened and taken in to fit Sonya, then the white stitches were all handsewn on by myself with elastic thread.</p>

<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RnM_tcDcZLE?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>I was costumer on this, however since the turnaround for the costumes was so short I ended up casting many of my talented costumer friends in this who already have beautiful superhero costumes! Besides casting roughly half the actors, I also managed costume rentals from other friends. The only costume I ended up having to make for this was Aquaman.</p>
<p>This project was great fun and the end result was hilarious!</p>
<p>Check out the deleted scenes too!<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I recently worked on an animatronic cougar for TBS&#8217;s recent Cougar Town promos at The Character Shop!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I did a lot on this little fella! I built most of his body under the supervision and direction of the great <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0116901/">Billy Bryan</a>. (The Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters!) I also helped do a lot of fur transfers once his base body was complete.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I also went on set with this guy for filming these spots! My first time on set as a fabricator &#8211; it was a lot of fun!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On to the spots!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This little guy was done for a Capital One commercial and was meant to resemble a beat up Chuck-E-Cheese style animatronic.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He was a group effort and took a team of 7 people to complete. Things I was responsible for were the fur, the ears, the horns, the tail and his little beard.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">See the commercial <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McQFZd9K82g">here!</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately Derpy only got a backround role. Such a shame as he turned out so cute!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">See more pictures and Derpy in action at <a href="http://www.character-shop.com/tcscaponegoat.html">The Character Shop website.</a></span></p>
