Fozzie Bear- Day 2 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days

Fozzie Bear
6″x6″ acrylic ink, colored pencil and oil paint on illustration board

Alright, day 2!

I am a big fan of Jim Henson and many of his creations and have grown up always loving the Muppets.  And, doing artwork of the Muppets is not a new thing for me.  I really enjoy creating art from these characters, be it Muppets or characters from the Dark Crystal or Labyrinth.  I just realized that I have been ignoring the characters from Fraggle Rock and I should probably do something about that!  Muppet portraits will be one of the subject matters for me during this 30 day challenge.  Starting off with Fozzie is a great place to begin.  If I were to rank my favorite Muppets I think Fozzie would be right near the top.  While his jokes are typically groan worthy, he is very lovable.  First off, visually, I love his texture.  His fur is crazy.  And he rocks the polka dot scarf!  I also remember him having issues with people throwing bananas at him which has not been a subject that has been brought up recently.  On the outside he is a crazy guy saying “wocka wocka” and getting up on stage to tell jokes, but on the inside he is very self conscious.  I think artists can relate to putting your work out for everyone but being very self conscious about it.
