Remembering Jim Henson and the time I drew the LOVE Stamp envelope with ROWLF.

Every once in a while, someone commissions me to do something special. Here is a drawing I did recently for a fan of The Muppets who had one of those "First Day" envelopes I drew in 1986 for the LOVE stamp, and also an envelope honoring Jim Henson, my old friend and boss, from just a couple years ago.. I hadn't drawn Scooter or Floyd since probably 1986 when the strip retired. FUN! I did the drawing with black ink and my brush, and used colored pencils to add the color. I remember the First Day event was in NYC, on my 29th birthday. I'll post a picture of Jim with ROWLF as the PostMaster. Even before I was writing and drawing the Muppets strip with my brother, Rowlf was my favorite Muppet. He was the first "famous" Muppet....from back in the mid sixties when he was on the Jimmy Dean Show. Jim and Rowlf at The Post office Event and Jim and me....wow. Long, long time ago.
