Mascot Makers extraordinaire! We're with you from idea to mascot design & mascot creation. We had to invent how to do it. We're still inventing. We think BIG!

We started making mascots in a Berkeley CA garage before they were even a thing. We design & build small-batch, artisanal mascot characters - hand crafted in our light-filled studio in Indianapolis. We are with you from the 1st spark of an idea through design conception to completion of mascot from the top of the head to the soles of the feet ...and beyond! We can advise you on auditions, performer training, strategic planning for the mascot program and revenue streams. Should you want illustrations of your mascot for holidays, special games, events, we do that too! We are full service mascot everything!

We’re moving the AvantGarb / Kentucky mascot & puppet studio.

We are now in Old Washington in Maysville, KY.

I had forgotten how long it takes to get everything in place - we’re now about 2 days away from being able to continue onto mascot-making.

So-o- o the brilliant mascoteers are getting everything out of boxes and onto shelves, hangars and racks.

Sculpting the heads and making some nice, round mascot bodies are on the horizon!

… and the sewing machines have started are whizzing.
