Just wanted to share this cool pic with everyone from the centre page of "The Art of the Muppets" Book. It was a gift from the Jim Henson Legacy after seeing the Muppet Theatre Model I created. Makes a GREAT desktop wallpaper!! There are so many amazing behind the scenes pictures in the book, I suggest everyone try to get a copy! Thanks:)

| These structures are supported by rented scaffolding. We attached building walls to the sides. |
 |
| The bricks are stamped on with paint and look quite realistic in the right lighting. |
 |
| Props and set decoration were very important for the "skid row" atmosphere |
 |
| This unit rotated on wheels and allowed for set changes and transitions. |
 |
| All these treatments are painted on effects. The clock wall opens to allow the Giant Plant to appear. |
 |
| Doors and windows were built from scratch by Jeff Cox |
 |
| The window is bug screen, which allowed me to paint words on it but have no glare. |
 |
| All this furniture is made from scratch!! The props are from my living room!! |
 |
| As usual it all starts with a model. This one was just pen and ink with watercolor paint. |

| The views helped the director understand my vision, and allowed for changes. |
 |
| The front stage area (Thrust) was custom built as well. |
 |
| The street Lamp was never rented...budget didn't allow. |
 |
| Push Pin Pivot!!! |
 |
| The perches on each side was a great place for the back up girls to sing... |
