Growing up, The Muppets and Sesame Street were the biggest influences on me. If they were silly, so was I. If they counted to 10, so did I. If they sang happy songs about butterflies or mashed potatoes...so did I. They were my heroes. Jim Henson was a big part of my childhood growing up. I miss the simple imagery, brightly colored and personality driven charachters he created. His work will forever be a scar on the lives, and careers of many. I wonder if Matthew Furie was heavily influenced by Jim Henson...duh. Almost like a mix of warped muppets and 80's glam-nostalgia. He's one of my favorite artists, and I just wanted to share one of his pieces.
And here is one of Jim Hensons commercials from way back when about La Choy Oriental Food featuring a wonderful dragon. So weird and entertaining...very silly and I like!
