Following a fundraiser at my daughter's school, I was impressed at the sheer number of magazines available, even with the "death of print." So I set up a little challenge for myself to see how quickly I could do up a "magazine alphabet". How many can you identify?

They are heroes in a half-shell... and all the letters of the alphabet. Depicted are: Ace Duck, Bebop, Chrome Dome, Donatello, Doctor El, Foot Soldier, General Traag, Hothead, Irma, Casey Jones, Krang, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Napoleon Bonafrog, April O'Neil, Pizzaface, Dr. Quease, Raphael, Shredder, Triceraton, Utrom, Vernon, Wingnut, Dr. X, Usagi Yojimbo, Zak the Neutrino

With the release of The Muppets just around the corner, I figured it was time for one more set of Muppet Vinylmation art. I tried something a little different this time, focusing on key scenes from the first three Muppet Movies. Depicted are: Rainbow Connection Kermit, Electric Mayhem Bus, Airborne Gonzo and Growth Pill Animal (from 1979's The Muppet Movie) Wedding Kermit, Wedding Piggy, Manhattan Melodies Program and Sardi's Kermit (from 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan) Motorcycle Piggy, Airfreight Gonzo and Fozzie, Fozzie and Kermit's Dad and Gang in Disguise (from 1981's The Great Muppet Caper) The Gang in Disguise would be the chaser in this set. The back of the figure would be a mirror image of the front except everyone would have their fake glasses and mustaches removed.

Here's my tribute to Pigs in Space and the various aliens that the Muppets encountered during the course of The Muppet Show. I had originally intended this to be a concept for the welovefine.com Muppets T-shirt contest. The idea was that nothing would be more adventurous - or dangerous - than being a "red shirt" on the Swine Trek. But since the contest was only open to residents of the US, that plan was, well, shot into space.

If she doesn't scare you, no chicken will.

Here it is. The final version of the Muppet Alphabet, featuring Xomfey the Pink Stalk from The Muppet Show pilot, Sex and Violence. Featured are: Animal, Bunsen and Beaker, Crazy Harry, Dr. Teeth, Sam the Eagle, Fozzie, Gonzo, Hilda, Irving Bizarre, Janice, Kermit, Lew Zealand, Miss Piggy, Newsman, Otto, Pepe, Quongo, Rowlf, Statler, The Swedish Chef (aka "Tom"), Uncle Deadly, Vendaface, Waldorf, Xomfey, Yolanda Rat, Zoot. And a big thanks to the poster at Muppet Central for the suggestion on Xomfey. Prints, posters, iPhone cases and skins available at Society6 .
