TARISH PIPKINS, aka JEGHETTO, was born and raised in a small steel mill town called Clairton, PA, about 45 minutes South of Downtown Pittsburgh. He is a self-taught Jack of all Trades. He is a visual artist with expertise in several media such as acrylic paints, watercolors, portraits, and murals. He started building puppets at the age of 30. Now, he is known as a self-taught master builder and puppeteer. His puppets are abstract moving sculptures made of mostly found and recycled materials. He has received two grants for the Jim Henson Foundation for his stage production titled "5P1N0K10" (SPINOKIO). He has also received a grant from Heather Henson’s Handmade Puppet Dreams Film Company to adapt 5P1N0K10 into a short film. Now he is a current board member of the Jim Henson Foundation. Jeghetto has worked with Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams, Alec Baldwin, and a few other celebrities on musical videos, commercials, and television. More at jeghetto.com.
