Other Works
Fosselius has continued to whittle mechanically animated carved caricatures and automata which he displays in traveling galleries called the "Marvelous Mechalodeon" and the "Crankabout Mechanical Theater", an entirely human powered exhibit. Fosselius created a special multiple caricature puppet of the band "The Heavenly States" which stood in for the group in their 2005 music video for the song "Car Wash." Some photographs of these devices are in this flickr album.
Fosselius is a satirical puppeteer ("Puppephobia!") who carves his own caricature puppets and performs on the street and at adult "puppet slam" venues. After all his work in television and film he now prefers this more direct form of self-expression, which he calls "Live, 3-D, Animation".
Fosselius is a celebrated artist and performer and has self-published two of his books: "Ernie Goes To Playland", an illustrated story of his childhood terror of amusement parks, and "Grandpa Floyd's Workshop", a revival of his collected 1970's syndicated cartoon strips. More "graphic novels" are on the way.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Nature is so perfect that the Trinity couldn’t have fashioned her any more perfect. She is an organ on which our Lord plays and the devil works the bellows.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
