A dream I had about the Muppets
This morning, I woke up after a really great and very detailed dream in which the Jim Henson Company released a series of art prints, each one a simple portrait of a Muppet or Sesame Street character. I remember one in particular that featured Kermit seated on a plain wooden stool against a black background. I was so ready to buy it, and was so disappointed when it turned out to be a dream.
It was a beautiful series of sophisticated-looking prints geared toward adults. My favorite part was the tagline they used (which, technically, since it was my dream, I wrote): "The characters who helped you grow into who you are."
I woke up smiling, and now I want the Jim Henson Company to make these! I know I'm not the only one who would purchase and frame a series of elegant prints based on these beloved childhood characters.
Here's Alex Ross's Super Grover poster from a few years back to give you a ballpark idea of what these dream posters looked like.
Yeah, I know it's kind of dorky. But don't tell me that doesn't warm your heart! Who's with me on this? Do prints like this (besides the hard-to-find Alex Ross print) exist? If not, does anybody out there know someone who works for the Henson Company? They can use this idea for free. I just want it to happen! (But if they want to hire me as a copywriter, I certainly wouldn't say no.)

I would totally buy one, too. Write them! Make this happen!
I tweeted at the Henson Company about this! I don't think they listened. I'll have to find an email address.
AN-NI-MAL! AN-NI-MAL!
