“Shari & Friends" for the “Puppet Pals” Art Show

Character Illustration | Gallery1988 | November 2024

In early 2024, one of my art mutuals, illustrator Luke Flowers, invited me to be a part of one of his newest art shows with Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, CA. Luke specifically reached out to me for my expertise in illustrating puppet characters, as the theme of the show was nostalgic puppet shows. As I ultimately correctly guessed, I knew most of the show would be Henson-related works, so I chose something a little different: ventriloquist extraordinaire Shari Lewis, creator of Lamb Chop & Charlie Horse. It went unsold in the show, but it made for a nice portfolio piece!
