I was really into puppets as a kid. I had a koala puppet who had a side job as an off-off-off broadway (as in Elementary school production) vampire. Fully a product of Muppet Show mania, I worked in a painted refrigerator box, and even toured the show to other schools, much to the bewilderment of the captive audiences.

This book was about the notebook that Jim Henson kept throughout all of his puppet-making and movie-making years. Partially a biography of Jim Henson, partially a peek at the doodles and sketches he recorded, the author encouraged me to work with the art to recreate the sense of energy and creativity that the journal itself contained.
