OH, I FORGOT TO SHOW YOU THE LAIKA PHOTOS

So I did end up going to see ParaNorman at MOMI! And I got to see their little LAIKA exhibit, too!

I spent so much time oohing and ahhing over these puppets. They're so beautiful IRL. So detailed. I've wanted to see these up close for literally over a decade, and when I say I cried. lmao

(look at my son, Norman!!! and his little SHOES!!!)

(I remember watching a clip of a woman knitting Coraline's sweater on needles that were the width of human hair, and I've been obsessed with LAIKA's sartorial choices ever since. My god, the detail!)

(idk if a lot of people know how much LAIKA absolutely revolutionized the industry with their 3D-printed faces and inner mechanisms, but I'm obsessed)

(god the DETAIL in their sets, I was losing my mind)

IN CONCLUSION, I was very happy and an absolute geek and openly weeping during ParaNorman, lmao. A very fun day at the museum.

BONUS:

grumpin with the boys

he IS big!!! he's so big IRL!

bork bork bork

Damn. This has been at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens since September!

“LAIKA: Life in Stop Motion invites visitors of all ages to appreciate the painstaking work of stop-motion animation, with eight animation stations equipped with 2-D LAIKA character figures and environments that visitors can use to experiment with and create their own short films, then share and post online. The exhibit also includes puppets, sets, and video clips from all five of the studio’s renowned films.”

And, of course, no Jim Henson exhibit is complete without Muppets from The Muppet Show! This year, I got to see three different Kermit the Frogs, including the original; Rowlf; Statler and Waldorf; a family of Koozbanians; the Swedish Chef; the original Java puppets; Bunsen and Beaker; the Country Trio; Miss Piggy (in her wedding dress from The Muppets Take Manhattan); Zoot; and Scooter. Aside from all the Kermits, I think the Country Trio were my favorites. If they look familiar, you're not mistaken--they're made in the likenesses of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson.

Bonus puppets under the cut include the Beautiful Day monster; a Snowth; You Are My Sunshine; Nigel (The Muppet Show's orchestra conductor); and Wilkins and Wontkins from the Henson-produced series of Wilkins Coffee commercials.

where are you Deleted User

#its inevitable and something you have to expect when internet friends disappear/move on/drift apart/whatever the situation is #+often its something that doesn't need to be forever its someone to exchange images+problems+mail with when you need that sort of thing most #and inevitably it stops which is fine.but the problem is afterwards when you take an image that you know you would have sent to them or you #are standing in a museum looking at a postcard you know you would have sent them + its like oh! a momentary case of mild sadness is upon me! #but such is life

Ok new icon because my friend went through moonknights comicartfans search and found possibly the most important image of Moonknight ever made. Under the cut. NSFW.

By Bill Sienkiewicz.

#Me and my friend have very quickly grown completely fucking obsessed with this image #apparently it was drawn on the bathroom wall at the Museum Of Cartoon Art in Rye Brook New York and #the museum moved locations and its possible this doesnt exist anymore. #IM JUST STUCK ON THIS. HIS HORRIBLE LITTLE FACE. HIS LOVINGLY RENDERED HAIRY ASS AND LEGS. #THE INSIDE OF HIS CAPE LOOKING LIKE ITS CRAYON.

Continuing some captures from “The Lost Child” episode of Inspector George Gently... today it’s moving images. 

(I labeled that one “beard fondling”.) 

You’d think I’d get tired of this... 

But no. 

Ok, then, since you asked so nicely, I’ll stop. 

(Happy Gatiss Wednesday.)

One of the highlights of visiting the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image was hearing this conversation between two young women:

“Look, there’s Miss Piggy.”

“She looks so … beautiful!”

“Yes!”

I got to see in-person Fraggles this year! Gobo, Uncle Traveling Matt, and Cantus are at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens (along with three Doozers and Convincing John, who for some reason is displayed elsewhere in the exhibit), and Red and Wembley were part of The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited, the MOMI's traveling Jim Henson exhibit. Now that that exhibit's reached the end of its tour, I'm curious to see what's going to happen to it 🤔

Bonus Doozers and Convincing John underneath the cut:

it was the last day of thanksgiving break, so we decided to head down to the museum of the moving image. it was absolutely wonderful learning so much about the history of film and seeing all the technical components that go on behind the scenes. they had an ongoing zombie exhibit that i was sadly a little too scared to walkthrough and a laika exhibit that i was ridiculously excited about. they even had a station where people could make their own mini stop-motion films. the day was completely lovely and i even made a stop at my favorite french bakery after lunch. even though it was meant to be a relaxing day, there were still times when i thought that i should be studying and doing practice questions. but this was the first day all school-year that i hadn’t done any studying and probably one of the few last chances i’d have to do so before i start clinical rotations. so in the end im rather glad i ended up enjoying my day to the fullest

Did so much today and it's only 1AM :O

#this is my thinking train #bestie/roomie and I did a full deep clean of our apartment before putting up some CNY decorations #we had dinner and drinks beforehand #and I went to the Museum of the Moving Image earlier for work and got to see the Jim Henson exhibit which was cool
