Other Tributes to Henson

Other people have used illustration to celebrate Jim's life and career:

A digital illustration that really tickles me! Kermit puppeteering Jim! Love it! The digital aesthetic, as I've probably groaned on about a million times, ain't for me, but I really like this concept. Humorous tone, not like my approach in that respect because this artist is looking at the COMICAL tone of Henson and I think they're successfully communicating that in this.

SOMEONE MADE JIM INTO A MUPPET! Very simple idea, the first thing I thought of for this brief, but this is executed really well... it's obviously JIM and it also LOOKS LIKE A MUPPET

HAHHAHAHAHAAHA YEEEEES. Humorous approach to Jim's legacy. Using Jim's familiar characters is a great way to broaden the reach of the illustration - most people would 'get' this, because they recognise the Muppets, even if they don't recognise Jim's face.
