Headline : I'm Your Puppet: Musician Creates Amazing Marionettes Of Old Rockers
Caption : Glasgow-based artist and singer George Miller has used the coronavirus lockdown to his full advantage – making the most of the time by creating a series of stunning marionettes featuring some of the music industry’s biggest stars.
Miller, the frontman of the legendary Kaisers, has turned his artistic talents to creating stunning puppet likenesses of rock 'n' roll icons including Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, and Little Richard. Asked how he chose the musicians he’s made, Miller explained: “Although a couple of the subjects are still with us, the notion of ‘resurrecting’ the others in some way appealed to me. I like seeing them bursting out of their ‘coffins’", referencing the retro illustrated boxes they're stored in.
Don’t expect to see these marionettes on sale anytime soon though – Miller thinks of them as his second children. He does, however, have plans to make a “video showcasing their individual musical styles plus a series of short clips” once his cast of puppets grows to around 20.
