Twenty years ago, once of the most creative geniuses and one of the biggest influences in my life (Walt Kelly and Chuck Jones are among the others) passed away a little too suddenly and a little too soon. Jim Henson, with his unboundless creativity and imagination, gave a legacy of weird and wonderful memories-and a lot of laughter that I value more than I could ever express, in either words OR pictures.
I wish I could have met him.
I hope no one takes this pic as blasphemous. I've heard of Jim being resembled to Christ on occasion and I couldn't help wondering how it'd be if they met. It seemed like a good idea for a special-and slightly silly- tribute.

While searching for photo references today of "Jim Henson Laughing" for a portrait I want to do, I came across this. It's lovely, and a perfect "silly little tribute" like you said.
