Ernst Haekel and Jim Henson

(Jim Henson: Ap File photo).

I was researching Ernst Haekel's beautiful drawings (excellent public domain images here and here) when I noticed the Haekel portrait on Wikipedia reminds me of Jim Henson and Kermit. I half-expected Haekel's chimpanzee skeleton to be a rod puppet.
Maybe I should contact Winfrey Odhner to work on this with me....

Curtis Edwards' Site!

I recently touched base with this really talented dude, Curtis Edwards. He's in the Society of Illustrators show again this year. Expect to see this man more often, as he's back on the east coast after having flings with Europe and Portland.

I'm always impressed by her industriousness and the quality of her work. Also, if you are an industry professional and recommend her to another industry professional she's promised to send you a gratis painting of the animal of your choice. sweet.
