20 Years
The Creature Works Studio is a puppet building and performing company dedicated in producing high quality and memorable characters for any media outlet. Tom Stewart started the company after working in the film industry for 20 years.
Tom is indigenous and the oldest of seven children. As a young child Tom often created worlds of his own; by drawing his own comics and through the art of puppetry. He was captivated by shows like Hilarious House of Frightenstein, The Great Space Coaster and The Muppet Show. These television series provided Tom a means to escape during some difficult times. Tom’s younger brother and sister both had cancer.
Tom began performing puppet shows at church in 1990’s and then in 1995 started to work and volunteer for various puppet companies. He also went to school for Film Production and worked in the film and television industry for years. Tom also spent his summers working at a children’s cancer camp giving back to a community that fostered life skills Tom adopted as a camper.
Presently, Tom is puppet building full time and developing projects that pay ohmage to the entertainment he loved and was impacted by. Check out our latest stinger video for a new series we are working on called “15 Tales”.
