The Jim Henson Exhibition Gallery Review

The Jim Henson Exhibition, a PERMANENT gallery of Jim Henson art, films. props, and of course puppets from all aspects of his career, has opened at the Museum of the Moving Image at New York City. I was down there for the Kickstarter reception day and I found it just no less than amazing. If you ever travel to NYC , this is a must-see. 

Did Somebody Say BAM?

Ran across this. The Brooklyn Academy of Music was doing a special exhibit of the Jim Henson Foundation's MUPPETS, MUSIC, and MAGIC, and a number of TOUGHPIGS members had planned to go down and meet. Regrettably, I was unable to attend myself, but I whipped up this art (in B&W) and mailed it directly to TP (I think Danny Horn was still in charge at the time) In case they wanted to do anything promotional . Some time after the show, I got back this hand-colored (by Martha Hayes Crannell- thanks, Martha!) copy of my art back autographed by the late great Jerry Juhl, with the caption: "To Smig- Where the heck were you?" Mr. Juhl, If I knew, I wouldn't have been where I was!
