In my head, that's Bunsen Honeydew's brain in the jar.

Mash-Up: Muppets / Mad Max

"Mad Max Mayhem by Justin Ponsor

"I love the Muppets so I tend to picture them as all kinds of pop culture phenoms. In this case, once I pictured Dr. Teeth as Immortan Joe, I had to make it happen. Painted in Photoshop CS4 in June 2015."

Mash-Up: The Mountain vs Blue Viper

"The Mountain vs Blue Viper" by Dan Luvisi

Video: Sesame Street: Star S'Mores

"Sesame Street: Star S'Mores (Star Wars Parody)" by Sesame Street

Sesame Street loves parodying popular TV shows and movies to keep parents entertained as they sit through popular kids show with their kids.  Their latest spoof has been an instant viral hit!  In this sketch, Sesame Street re-imagines the Star Wars space opera with a  baked goods twist!  I would seriously love to be the guy who writes these sketches.

"A long time ago in a cookies and milky way galaxy far, far away...Princess Parfaita was taken prisoner by the evil Galactic Empire and had to be saved by a group of unlikely heroes including the young Luke Piewalker, Flan Solo, and Chewie the Cookie."

Mash-Up: Muppets / Game of Thrones

"The Game Thrones of Muppets" by Mishugashu

I absolutely love this series, especially "Petyr Beakish" and "Dr. Varys Honeydew." Beaker has never looked so sinister! Only, shouldn't Rolf's family name be "Bearatheaon"?

From his iconic and colorful cast on Sesame Street to the groundbreaking fantasy Dark Crystal, Henson's imagination and ingenuity have ignited a path that many others have since followed.

Timed with the release of Disney's The Muppets motion picture and news on a forthcoming Henson biopic, Nucleus has invited more than 30 artists to pay homage to this universally beloved visionary whose inspiring concepts and characters have impacted our culture in a monumental way. The collection will showcase a variety of mediums from a roster of professionals who are also genuine fans."

Fresh Take: Easy being green, it is not

“Easy being green, it is not.” by Peter de Sève

Artist Peter de Sève imagines what it would be like if Kermit and Yoda spent some time fishing together on Dagobah. After all, they are technically related. Plus, they both know their way around a swamp.

This unlikely but perfect juxtaposition between Kermit and Yoda was painted for the Star Wars, Visions, a collection of Star Wars images created by a wide variety of artists from many genres.  The famed American illustrator has also created many of the covers for the The New Yorker as well as worked on character design on many animated features including the beloved Scrat from the Ice Age series.  Some of his work is currently showing in an exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum and he will be speaking at CTNX this year.
