MyRtle

Myrtle was made for Fish Pie. She is a sea cucumber. And she is on a one-sea-cucumber-woman mission to emancipate baby sea cucumbers (gherkins) all over the world. She is arguably the stealthiest criminal mastermind in the country. Other heists include stealing eminent paintings and going on Blind Date to find a criminal side-kick. She is a puppet/costume hybrid, designed to be operated by two puppeteers. She has moving eyes, a tiny little moving mouth and with human hands in hers is able to move elegantly and aptly around a space. Photos by Oleg Pulemjotov and Richard Davenport.

ludwig

Ludwig was made for Fish Pie. Ludwig is the greatest living artist on the planet and he is also a prawn. His work consists of kicking things over...and then picking them up. Ludwig is strapped-on-the-feet puppet, almost 6ft tall and has independently blinking eyes, a moving moustache and mouth. He is designed to be manipulated by two puppeteers. He can also smoke real-life puppet cigarettes, who also in turn, come to life. Photos by Ulysses Black and David Bull.
