Can anyone find out how I can get a print, or some other sort of
reproduction, of some of Muppetmaster Jim Henson's early college-days
art? Works include "Conceit," "Melancholy," "Hilarity," and
"Musicians." You can see them in the book, "Jim Henson's Designs and
Doodles."

yprime-ga,

This question makes me smile.  Designs & Doodles is a fantastic look
at a side of Jim Henson that even the most devoted fans (like me) may
not be familiar with.

I've emailed the Jim Henson Archives to see if prints of these
wonderful works are available.  I'll let you know what I learn!

Best,
Rebeccam-ga

PS - I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to meet Lisa Henson and
wander around the Jim Henson Studios, on what was once Charlie
Chaplain's studio lot.  It's beautiful, fanciful, just what you'd
think it should look like, and both the place and the people there
seem soaked with his unique spirit.  just thought I'd share :)

Thanks, Rebecca, I'm glad there's someone else out there who
appreciates Jim's non-Muppet work. (I especially like the little
advertising storyboards for the coffee commercials. Some of them are
kind very un-Muppetlike, when you think about it. :) ) If I'm not
mistaken, you're talking about the Kaufman-Astoria studios; I used to
live a few blocks away, but never had the chance to see the world
inside!

 Have you read "Sesame Street Unpaved"? I thought that was also a
great look at the world of SS from the inside.

 Thanks,
