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:
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
