Celebrity Watch: Mike Schupbach

Time to brag on a friend of mine, Michael Schupbach.

From his humble beginnings at The Muppet Workshop, Mike has been working on some really cool stuff - see his website www.michaelschupbach.com I only just heard about his current show "Johnny and the Sprites" from a mass email he sent out today. Last Christmas I saw some of his puppet sketches for this project and now it's a big success!
Check out this show he co-created and designed:
www.playhousedisney.com and click on the "Johnny and the Sprites" button on the left to see all five episodes. It's totally cute.
Or you can catch it on the Disney Channel weekday mornings at 7:25am right after Little Einsteins. There are five, three-minute "Johnny and the Sprites" shows, each featuring a song by a Broadway composer, and lots of brand new, furry creatures designed by Mike.

(Note: The photo isn't of one of his characters... it's Mike himself.)
