Jessie & Gus Renaud
We are puppet enthusiasts and makers with a mission to help people connect to their inner child! With Jessie's cartoon inspired art-style, Gus's clownish performance-style, and all of our artistic powers combined, we have created a world of our own for anyone aged 1-100 to enjoy! We both grew up with a love for puppets and it was one of the many things that solidified our relationship when we first met. From Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street and, of course, The Muppets, to Looney Toons, The Three Stooges, Spongebob and more, there are many influences for what you see today. We want Ragmop & Goose to truly be accessible to everyone. While kids are, of course, our target demographic, we also want our work to reach adults who may feel disconnected from their inner child. The content we create simultaneously promotes our "Adoption Days" where the puppets we make by hand become available to anyone who'd like to bring them home! Witnessing children and adults alike explore their creativity within the puppet world is such an incredible experience. We hope to revive the puppet and marionette community or, at the very least, bring laughter and happiness back into a world that desperately needs it. Join us and let's play!
