Alexa in Curio, Muppets

Alexa here. Lately I've been busying myself by introducing my daughter to the Muppets, in hopes that the new installment will pan out and there will be more Muppet fun to come. (So far, Miss Piggy's Esther Williams routine and the Steve Martin hosting with balloons and banjo appear to be her favorite moments.) My attempts to find her a reasonably-priced Miss Piggy doll have been thwarted, due to the lack of merchandising out there; maybe Disney is taking an uncharacteristic wait-and-see approach? In the meantime, here are some cool indie designs to fill the Muppet merchandise void.

Fabulous retro Muppet concert posters by Michael De Pippo.


Ever-prolific Alex Kittle does a great Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem gig poster.Click for more, including Miss Piggy with donut...

Hand-felted Kermit and Miss Piggy dolls, both a bit out of my price range.


Set of prints by Carey Armstrong-Ellis, available at her Slugworks shop.


"Pig Out" print by Missy Munday.
