It's that time of year again - time to revisit all of your favorite Christmas movies!
Give a jolly ho ho ho to the Christmas Movie Alphabet, inspired by a variety of holiday classics.
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 alphabet is available to purchase from Nov 1-23, 2024 exclusively at Gallery1988. Check out my Instagram feed for a closer look at any letters.
