70 Years, 70 Kermits

With this design, I wanted to pay tribute to Kermit's history by capturing many of his most iconic (and yes, some obscure) looks over the last seven decades.

Life's Like a Movie...

I've always been a big fan of huge Muppet gatherings. You know the ones - the holiday festivities of A Muppet Family Christmas, the wedding in Muppets Take Manhattan (and Muppet Most Wanted), and so on. But it is the finale of the original Muppet Movie that moved me so much as a kid that it still gives me goosebumps.

Here is my tribute to that magical moment, in which I tried to capture as many Muppets as I could fit into a single scene, all of them in a fairly close proximity to their original placements. Some of them weren't even visible in the movie (like Link Hogthrob), so it meant poring over behind the scenes photos and even asking for some assistance from Instagram friends (thank you!).

The Muppet Alphabet (2024)

It's time to play the music!

When illustrator Luke Flowers invited me to be part of his Raised by Rainbows "Puppet Pals" exhibition, I was beyond honored and excited. I also knew exactly what I wanted to include - an updated version of the Muppet Alphabet that I created 13 years ago (!) and that ignited my recent creative journey.

Here is the final version: 

Each letter contains characters that I consider a part of the Muppet family. In other words, someone you might see hanging around in a Muppet Family Christmas or at the end of The Muppet Movie (assuming they made these now). This means no Dinosaurs, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, etc.

The Disney Alphabet

The Disney Alphabet features characters from every feature by Pixar and Disney Animation, every theatrical spin-off/sequel, every major franchise, and a variety of additional characters from theme parks, shorts, TV series and more. I excluded anything Marvel, Star Wars or Studio Ghibli (distributed by Disney).

Some criteria I set for myself: Only one character per franchise per letter and no more than four characters per film over the entire alphabet. I did allow more than four characters from the Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh franchises, but only because they could represent so many shorts and films. However, this did mean some tough calls, which is why you may notice some key players are missing like Minnie Mouse, Belle, Hades, Jasmine, Pete, Kristoff, Miss Piggy, Timon, Pumba, Sebastian, Slinky Dog and more.  That said, I was able to include 424(!) characters.

The Periodic Table of Cereal Mascots

Introducing The Periodic Table of Cereal Mascots, part of a complete breakfast! 

A periodic table of cold cereal mascots from 1900 to 2010, all depicted as they were first presented. Characters are sorted horizontally by year and vertically by brand. I tried to avoid most licensed characters, but some were just too iconic like Fred Flintstone for Fruity Pebbles or, well, a Muppet (Croonchy Stars!)
