Rob Nelson, a native of Waukesha, WI, was immersed in art from an early age. His creative journey began with inspiration from his grandfather, an impressionist watercolor painter, and his babysitter's artistic family. With a mother who taught English and a father and older brother who shared a deep love for film, Rob's passion for storytelling naturally developed. He pursued formal training in painting and animation at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design while also playing football at a private college.

After his first successful art show in Minneapolis, Rob moved with his younger brother to Vail, CO.

In 2012, he was nominated for Independent Visual Artist of the Year, showcasing his work in Denver and Boulder. His artistic path took another turn when he lived on an organic farm in Santa Cruz, CA, surrounded by a vibrant community of artists, animators, and musicians.

It was here that his fascination with film and puppetry blossomed.

Driven by a passion for storytelling and craftsmanship, Rob relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue his interests in film and puppetry.

He had the opportunity to collaborate with Rick Lazzarini and The Character Shop, a pivotal moment in his career. Soon after, he presented one of his puppet film projects and connected with his mentor, Dan Garza of the Jim Henson Company, who shared invaluable puppetry techniques learned from Kevin Clash.

Since then, Rob has created hundreds of puppets for schools, shows, music videos, therapists, and more. Recently, he served as the Head of the Puppet Department for a major pop star's puppet-centered show. One of Rob's greatest joys is witnessing the magic of someone trying puppeteering for the first time, watching their creativity and personaility come alive. For him, puppetry blends all his artistic passions into a single, captivating medium  

Andy Clinton has been working as a freelance puppeteer for eleven years on top of his full-time job as a high school counselor.  He got his first taste for on-screen puppetry from a class led by Steve Whitmire at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, and the bulk of his training has come from the Beyond the Sock Workshop at the University of North Texas, led by long-time Muppet and Sesame Street puppeteers Peter Linz and Noel MacNeal.  Andy enjoys creating videos for clients and for himself, especially videos with a wry sense of humor.

Allison has been a life long performer and caught the entertainment bug in grade school, which eventually led her to a degree in Theater from Sunny Buffalo. Her first performing gig after graduating was puppeteering, so she's thrilled to be working with Chunky Monkey Studios!

As well as voice acting in numerous video games, animations and audio dramas, she has recently written, directed, edited and starred in the audio drama Partial Veil under her production company, Ylem Media. She loves rats and is a doting rat mama to her adorable cheese girls, and has written two kid's books about rats. You can learn more about her work at her website www.allisoncossitt.com
