Tommy's Puppet Lab
Where your favourite characters turn into real-life puppets (and scare the life out of you, one 3AM challenge at a time)
my name is Tommy & you're in my
Puppet Lab!
I'm a Canadian art lover from the land of the living skies, Saskatchewan! I am a bird loving magician who is strangely obsessed with weird/creepy things.
Because I’ve always liked being different, I wanted to make something no one has made before.
Functional “monster machines”
Usable puppets with moving heads and arms that can speak. I created 5 well-known characters from an indie based horror game “Five Nights at Freddy’s” by ScottGames
My obsession with weird and creepy things made me want that creepy feeling to exist in my own home.
Now I have a puppet family...

RECEIVED DEVIOUSNESS AWARD
· July 2016 ·
Receiving the Deviousness Award is something I never expected and one of the biggest honours in my journey through art. It felt like I was knighted by one of the most amazing women I had the honour of working with.
This award is a memoir of the beginning of my journey through art. I started on deviantART and met some fantastic people, including my beloved mentor. Having the privilege to be a volunteer in the Fan Art gallery, I was able to run very successful charity collaborations which I continue to this day. I've learned the best way to achieve greatness is to build your own community. This was one of the best things that ever happened to me!
#5 PUPPET YOUTUBE CHANNEL AWARD
· July 2019 ·
In June 2017 I was placed #11 in FeedSpot's Top 25 Puppet Youtube Channels awards! This award caught me by surprise! Being a notable puppeteer on YouTube makes me feel like I've come a long ways! I'm feel humble to receive this award!
In July 2019, I was surprised to see my channel had climbed to #5! I'm so happy to have gotten this far, and I will do my best to climb higher!
recognized by Sask Arts board
· April 2023 ·
On April 2023, I received an email telling me that I was nominated for this award! I got to attend a very special celebration in Regina and got my puppets and my work published in the newspaper afterward! I was nominated by a former/retired Art Curator who worked in Art Gallery of Swift Current. This was a huge deal for me to be recognized by the SK Arts Board!
