Jim Henson

Here is a funky drawing I did of one of the celebrities who have been on my mind lately. I've been on a huge Sesame Street kick thanks to a book I received for Christmas from my friend Dave (who has just started a really cool photo blog here that deals with nostalgic and pop culture subjects.)

There's not much I can say about Jim that hasn't already been said; he's just one of those rare larger-than-life figures. He sure as heck believed in what he was good at.

Also, my shirt design that I posted a while back called Mario's Closet is now called The Plumber's Wardrobe and it's finally up for sale. It's only been up for a day and a couple sizes are already sold out, so I'm happy to say it's selling like crazy. You can buy the guy's shirt here and the women's tee here.
