Michelle Thies and Ian Abando for Jim Henson Tribute

Michelle Thies and Ian Abando for Jim Henson Tribute: We bring you two more Los-Angeles based artists, Michelle Thies and Ian Abando, both illustrators for the film and animation industry. Michelle Thies reinvents Henson's "Rainbow Connection" not as you might expect. She presents a Brady Bunch tiled view of a diverse group of Henson characters resembling Jim Henson in his signature beard and titles her piece, "The Rainbeard Connection," for obvious reasons:



Meanwhile, Ian introduces us to his comical approach of what a Jim Henson reunion might be like...



Capital A - for Awkward. Ian shares with us that his "main focus is to bring ideas and storytelling to the forefront of art" and that "as long as people are interested, or entertained I feel I've done my job." With his envisioned Henson reunion, he surely achieved just that!


Stick around as we scurry about on our end to set up for The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me opening reception that's already tomorrow night - we still have some surprises to share! Don't forget our online preview will go live tonight, so sign up for exclusive access to more detailed images of the featured artwork, pricing and dimensions.
