This is the user page for Robert Mills, self described writer, producer, director, puppeteer and curmudgeon.

While I figure out how to use Wikipedia effectively I shall be maintaining a "sandbox" sub-page that can be found here: /sandboxsubpage.

One of these days I'll get the hang of all this.

It's All About Me
I was the founder of Radical Sheep Productions back in 1985. After working for Jim Henson's Muppets for 15 years I started my own puppet shop called the Sheep Shop and ran the parent company, Radical Sheep, to create our own shows. I've been nominated for a pant load of awards and I actually won a couple of them too. Among the shows we produced while I ran the company are:

Shows I Co-Created & Produced While Running Radical Sheep

 * The Big Comfy Couch
 * Ruffus The Dog
 * Panda Bear Daycare
 * Amigo & Me
 * Land O' Hands

I was also the Executive Producer on the first season of Puppets Who Kill and the Sheep Shop was responsible for the design and building of puppet characters for numerous television commercials and childrens television series. I left Radical Sheep in 2003 when we closed the Sheep Shop.

In 2006 I worked briefly as the Executive Producer for Kids CBC.

My first job with Henson was performing in the body costume of Junior Gorg on the show Fraggle Rock. I worked n a whole slew of Henson projects including Dinosaurs, The Jim Henson Hour and Labyrinth where I shared performing duties of the character Ludo with Ron Mueck.

I write, I blog, I code, I design, I direct, I produce and sometimes I still puppeteer. The television industry really sucks right now and I'm finding it far more fun to create work for online distribution. I regained the rights to Ruffus The Dog, a show I created and in which I performed the title character.

I Like To Bake Bread
I'm really good at it - but I do tend to kill off my sourdough cultures with astonishing regularity.
