To commemorate 40 years of "sunny days" with our beloved Sesame Street puppets, your task is to place Sesame Street Characters (puppets) into classic works of art and statues, in a creative and interesting manner. We're talking Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert & Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, and (my personal favorite) Snuffleupagus...you get the picture. You do not *have* to put the puppet into a portrait, but it should be integrated into the painting in some way other than just a static added element (ie, don't just copy/paste one in anywhere).
Hit list: Norman Rockwell paintings. Also remember, not all Muppets were on Sesame Street (ie Miss Piggy). Use one of them and risk disqualification.
Please, DO NOT post WIPs in your artist's comments. Post them in the entry comments or forums after the contest has ended.
Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the Arena Rules please, and be careful to avoid using cliche. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count! As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you.
