is an artist based in Berlin ★ Zahpip has been carefully fine tuning their practice of crafting marionettes and magical creatures since 2021. What began as doodles and character sketches, blossomed into an exploration of characters, archetypes and the development of fictional worlds pulled from somewhere within this fruity 27 year old.

Inspired by author Terry Pratchett with his Discworld series Zahpip anchors all their characters in the imagined world of Oomagoo. As the puppet's personalities and stories developed, so too did this ever expanding fantasy world. The purple planet. A home to all of Zahpip's pups.

Thank you for taking the time to explore this place with me. Come along for the story and stick around for the dancing.
I am now taking custom orders for personalised puppets, enquire in the Custom Pups tab for more information.
