Yossef

Today, after reading about him on Yifat's blog, I came upon this sweet movie showing Yossef the puppet signing books on the last National Isreali Book Week. Yossef and his long time operator, Roni Mosenson-Nelken, who is an acclaimed puppetry teacher, wrote a wonderful book discussing the art of puppetry, the philosophy behind it, and the relationship between puppet and operator. The moment I saw it on the book store I knew that a - I must have it and b - I'm SO stupid I didn't write it myself (but I am not really angry, my book is in the works. I am simply sad I am not the only one who can write such a book so beautifully. Big ego you know).

Israeli puppetry and art lovers, this book is a must! I wish I could have my signed by Yossef.. I also think I should take a course tutored by Roni, maybe a summer school thing?

and say it's a signature, that's what grown ups do"
