The Jim Henson Signature Collection

The Jim Henson Signature Collection is based on original artwork from the hand of creative genius Jim Henson, whose characters are known and loved by generations. Access to his drawings, sketches, doodles, and designs provides a rare peek into the imagination of a brilliant and visionary innovator. These images provide the foundation for Jim Henson's artistic expression which, in all media, has brought delight and wonder to audiences around the globe. Jim Henson was a visual thinker, his incredibly fertile mind continuously generating wondrous creatures and fantastic characters to inhabit his stories and songs. Early on, he doodled, drew cartoons, built mobiles, took photographs, and imagined new worlds. While Jim’s creative efforts would become more sophisticated, utilizing (and often inventing) cutting-edge technologies and reaching global audiences, the simple tools of pencil and paper remained his starting point and his sketches serve as the foundations for his artistic genius.
