Inspirational Person
For this project we were tasked with sketching half of an image of someone who inspired us
Artist Statement:
Jim Henson
by Nicholas Jennings
I chose Jim Henson as the person who inspires me because he wasn’t afraid to be weird, and took the time to understand the industry he was a part of. He knew that some of his dream projects wouldn’t receive commercial success, so in order to afford those projects he made more profitable works such a sesame street. However, he also knew that he could easily get stuck in the kid entertainment industry, and was firmly against anything that would reduce his creative freedom.
