Spring has returned, and now that the trees are in bloom the beautiful setting inspired a quick photo session recently with 'George'. The surroundings made for some charming photos.

A new series of images are forthcoming, as well as a short video filmed during this impromptu photo session.

Watch for them very soon!

Two recent photo sessions featuring 'George' have yeilded some charming images of him enjoying the greenery outdoors, and some uke time indoors.

This new collection of images are the first digital photos of the marionette and feature the sharpest images to date, revealing details that had yet to be seen until now. Over 60 new photos were taken in total, with two dozen or so well worth sharing.

These new photos will be posted on the 'George Harrison Marionette' Facebook Page every other day or so over the next month, for those interested. To view the photos in better clarity, be sure to click the cropped images shown on the main page.

A small handful of a select few of favourites will be shared right here for your viewing pleasure...beginning with this lovely photo.

Enjoy!

A new series of photos featuring *George* was created a few days ago.
Nothing like some lovely weather to get inspired by...and a certain gardner as well!

This *denim garden* series is one of the best set of images yet, as the clarity of the pictures ( digital...at last!) allows for details to be seen that previously could not be. The charming setting also adds a lot of appeal to the images, and *George* looks quite happy to be outside surrounded by greenery.

The main inspiration to create these photos came from a interesting source....

I was recently given a copy of Mr.Harrison*s *Brainwashed* CD from a friend overseas as a gift, and the photo of George contained in it ( wearing his blue denim shirt, seated outside on the grounds of FP ) inspired this photo shoot.

So here are some of the better photos from the shoot...enjoy!

A new, updated *Behind the Strings* video is currantly being put together.
Filming just wrapped after a 3-day shoot, and footage is now being edited together.

This new version will take viewers behind the curtain to see what it takes to bring this marionette to life when performing. A closer look at how it happens, with some clearer examples of the process, will be featured. A lot of people seem to think this is some type of animatronic, or robotic creation...but all movements are controlled simply by pulling nylon strings. The new *Behind the Strings* video will make that visually clear, and provide a interesting overview of how it all works.

Also included in this forthcoming new video is a few fun surprises for those watching....including some tunes being performed that should make viewers smile.

During the filming, a series of stunning photos was taken...perhaps some of the best to date showing *George* enjoying his guitars and ukes before the camera.

Here is a selection of some of my favourites.

Enjoy!
