Getting to Know Zack Buchman: A Journey Shaped by A Passion for Puppetry

John - Gentleman CrafterLeave a comment

A while back I did a series of posts with the catch-all title of “Worldwide Wednesday” where I interviewed folk from around the world and from a diverse range of create genres and whilst it fizzled out a while back, mostly due to “life” getting in the way, that spark to reignite this form of content literally dropped into my inbox with an email from Zack Buchman.

As the founder of Uncute™ and Furry Puppet Studio, Zack Buchman has spent years creating puppets, creatures and characters for television, music videos, brands and all sorts of projects in between. So when his email dropped into my inbox, I was curious so I popped together a list of questions and sent them over. What came back was a life story that I think you will agree is fairly unique.

Come with me on a journey as we get to know Zack, his beginnings, his influences, his achievements and his determination to live a creative life!

Trust me, you will be in awe.

So, you know how much I have enjoyed paper cutting over the last year and how much I am in awe of those that do this delicate and time intensive craft?

Well, for that very reason I contacted super-talented paper cutting artist Julene Harrison to see if she would take part in my Worldwide Wednesday series – and I am pleased to say that she agreed! (it would be a pretty short and pointless post if not, lol)

I really enjoyed the time that I got to learn about KT Young and her work on a recent blog post and thought, “wouldn’t it be fabulous if I could do this on a regular basis”, so, to cut a long story short, much deliberation led to the birth of the Worldwide Wednesday post series.

This series of posts sets out to introduce you to independent arts and crafts professionals from a range of genres from around the world.

I hope that you enjoy this first post in which I will be talking with Ashley Lucas, an illustrator and craft designer from Jersey City, NJ.
