Normally when we post these Muppet fan artist spotlights, we try and deliver as many images as we can to try and give proper attention to these talented individuals. So it’s rare that we’d showcase an artist with only three pieces of art. But with just three illustrations, Justin Ponsor has blown us away. We couldn’t hold off.
Justin Ponsor is currently a colorist for Marvel Comics. You may have seen his work in Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, Ultimate End, Star Wars, Uncanny Inhumans and Invincible Iron Man. We met him in person at this year’s New York Comic Con, and we completely geeked out together over his mashups. He also gave us some insight into his character combination choices (for example, in the Sesame Street/Justice League illustration, Big Bird is Aquaman because they have similar feather/scale patterns, The Count is Cyborg because of the monocle, and Cookie Monster is the Martian Manhunter because of their shared love of Oreos).
Below, you’ll find his three incredibly impressive Muppet mashups, mixing the world of the Muppets and Sesame Street with the Avengers, the Justice League, and Mad Max: Fury Road.
Many thanks to Justin for allowing us to share these incredible pieces with the world! Be sure to visit Justin’s Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr for more!
