Inktober Day 31 - JUG-BAND! . Closing out the month with the FROGTOWN HOLLOW JUBILEE JUG BAND: Emmet Otter, Harvey Beaver, Wendell Porcupine, and Charlie Muskrat. Wanted to try some of these guys back in 2019, but they had to wait until now; I hope this is a suitable send-off! . Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is on another level. It really set the bar for the Henson Co's practical effects on TV; from Kermit on the bicycle, to Emmet and Ma rowing down the river, to the ice skating, to the River Bottom Nightmare Band tearing through the streets in their jalopy, to the fish muppet swimming in the aquarium and spitting water, to the walking marionette Muppets... it's a showcase of ingenuity in practical effects. And seeing modern TV specials like the Muppets Haunted Mansion just highlights how much of the magic has been lost with the prevalence of digital effects. . THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for the overwhelming amount of support all month; it never gets old. Cheers for all the likes, shares, comments and personal messages. Couldn't do it without you. . 7.5 x 11”, @drphmartins Black Star and Pen White ink on @strathmoreart 400-series watercolor paper, @speedball_art Hunt 107 nib, Hunt 56 "School" nib and @pentelofamerica Color Brush, 95 minutes. .

#Repost @nephellim ・・・ “Oh, I’ll never get this...never!” 🎹 For those who grew up during the ‘Golden Age’ of Sesame Street, here’s a muppet who indubitably (try saying that 3 times fast) would have left a mark, Don Music! 🎹 According to ‘Sesame Street Unpaved’, published in 1998, "The character, played by Richard Hunt, was abandoned because of complaints about his alarming tendencies toward self-inflicted punishment. Apparently, kids were imitating his head-banging at home." 🎹 Aside from Don Music, Richard Hunt performed many other characters on Sesame Street, including #ForgetfulJones, #PlacidoFlamingo, #Gladys the Cow, #Sully, and an early version of Elmo. Sadly, Hunt passed away from AIDS related complications in 1992. Some of his characters were taken over by other voice talents, some were given more silent roles, and some, like Don, were retired from the show. 🎹 Here’s to Jim Henson, Richard Hunt and Don Music. 🎹 #Muppets #DonMusic #RichardHunt #JimHenson #SesameStreet #Doodle #Watercolor #Disney #Music #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BplZ1Naj53V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5agh8u4oye91
