Merry "Christmas Caroll." Happy 85th Birthday to Caroll Spinney, one of my artist/puppetry influences, and the originator of Sesame Street's Big Bird (my fav childhood character!) and Oscar the Grouch.

I watched a ton of puppet shows as a little kid, and I always could tell they weren't real, but I never once questioned if the Muppets were real. were just as real to me as any live person. That was due in no small part to performance.

Here's a sketch from the other day inspired by Vaughan Ling. It's cool working out articulation this way. One of my personal goals was to update my social presence so this seems like a good chance to get started!

I loved the way Animation House LTD drew Big Bird for those Follow that Bird animated sequences.
If I were to work on these characters someday I would follow this lead.
