The Great Muppet Mural
Artist Spotlights: Part 1Part 2Part 3

Last week, we shared the jewel in the crown of ToughPigs’ 20th anniversary celebration – dare I say, an absolute highlight of the entire 20-year history of our website. The Great Muppet Mural brought together 75 artists to amass one of the largest gatherings of Muppet characters onto one page. I simply can’t get over how incredible this feat was.

As much as we enjoy poring over every detail and hidden Muppet in the larger mural, it’s just as satisfying to get to see every artist’s individual pieces. And since there are so freaking many of them, we’ll be sharing their art in three big chunks throughout this week.

Part 1 is below! If you like what you see, we hope you’ll follow each of these talented folks on Instagram or their social media links of choice. Thanks to all of these wonderful artists, and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon!
