Description

A tribute to Jim Henson. All of the characters here were puppeteer-ed and voiced by him (save for one that was voiced by Steve Garlick). Can you name them all?

Posted into the "Tribute - Contest" from #TwilightZoneClub

- Jim Henson (1936-1990) was a puppeteer best known as the creator of The Muppets. As a puppeteer, Henson performed in various television programs, such as Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, films such as The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper, and creator of advanced puppets for projects like Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. He was also an Oscar-nominated film director, Emmy Award-winning television producer, and the founder of The Jim Henson Company, the Jim Henson Foundation, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. He died of Streptococcus pyogenes on May 16, 1990.
Many of you may be familiar w/ the works from his "Creature Shop" if you've ever watched a movie with any type of believable monster that wasn't done in CG. (TMNT 1 & 2, Dinosaurs, Dr. Doolittle, Where the Wild Things Are, etc.)

It's funny. As I was drawing/coloring each character, I would here their voice or a song they did in my head...
