Life's a happy song...In honor of what would be Jim and Jane’s 51st wedding anniversary, here is a video of Piggy and Kermit’s wedding scenes!
Unlike Helen Reddy, today is actually Lara’s birthday, ie. the wonderful mod over at muppetmayhem. Make sure to go wish her a very happy birthday!
OMG gurl, you know I adore Helen Reddy, right?!
I love you.
(She looks a heckava lot like my great Aunt Nellie, but that’s just one of many reasons.)
Holy moley, I finished it! Sooo, it didn’t turn out exactly how I’d planned (when does it ever?) but I’m still pretty pleased with it.
I had originally planned NOT to use black outlines, but when I started pencilling in all the little pi-rats, well, they were just too small to work without the outlining. I suppose if this piece was much, much larger, or maybe in a different medium, I could figure it out. But in the end, I decided “screw it”, because otherwise I was just fiddling and experimenting and afraid to actually commit anything to paper. I finally decided that it was better to do the best I could, even if it wasn’t *exactly perfect*, rather than just never finish it at all. And since I’m about to move again, I wanted to finish this before the move or else I was afraid I wouldn’t touch it again for a long, long time.
This was inspired by a Disneyland ride that never happened (alas and woe), featuring a described scene similar to this. This piece is an attempt to mimic the look of retro sci-fi movie posters. I’m reasonably pleased with how close I got, considering it’s my first attempt, and despite the black outlines (which give it more of a comic book feel, I think).
Rizzo turned out too dark, but I’m pretty happy with the lighting on the pigs’ faces. The scanning is questionable - this piece looks better in person. Plus, I had to scan it in 4 pieces and put it back together in Photoshop.
This is 100% hand done (including the lettering, which was either totally hand-drawn or else traced by hand from a computer print-out) in Copic marker on 14 x 17 inch smooth bristol board.
Dude. Are you telling me there was going to be a Pigs in Space RIDE?! Man, oh man, that is like the best and worst birthday present ever. XD
but this is BEAU-itful. Yay for Rizzo getting a big part! LOL.
A video I made several years ago. Let’s remember the joy Jim and the people he surrounded himself with brought us. Let’s remember what we will always have, not what we lost.
(I remember getting a complaint in the comments about leaving in audio from the original video. That was no mistake, I made a point to leave in most of the laughter.)
Louise Gold, Jim Henosn, and Dave Goelz rehearse “Take a Little One Step” with Bernadette Paters. (The Muppet Show)
Does anybody have a larger version of this photo?
OMG this photo! i forgot all about this one. I had it in big desktop size… Maybe I still do in my indymcfly photobucket folder. Which is where the majority of the original posts from here come from. Usually if they do, I link to them, especially if they’re much bigger than Tumblr ends up limiting it to. That always bugs me… I hope I still have this somewhere. It was very fun looking at every character all high res like. :D
You can totally read my fortune by the bumps on my head…
if you can find the clip of Fozzie hitting Kermit in the head to make his head bumpy, let me know!
It’s from Cleo Laine’s episode! And the clip you want can be found at the beginning of this video!
One of the few pictures of Eren Ozker out there. She died, a year and almost two months after Richard Hunt, from cancer.
Here is a lovely article written by her husband.
