Residents of a Make Believe Neighborhood

You may remember that I loved the show, Mister Rogers Neighborhood growing up, in fact I love it still, though it's pretty much vanished from the airwaves. A few years ago I thought it would be fun to illustrate some of the puppet characters from the Neighborhood of Make Believe. I didn't think they had ever been captured very well in books or on merchandise, and thought I'd see if I could do better. I'm sad to say that I didn't pursue it further, but someday maybe I will. Below are the highlights of my efforts, really just quick pencil sketches with some digital color.

Monday Menagerie

A bit of a sketchdump for you today.

Sing a song of Pirate Cats

Oh sing us a song of cats on the sea
For though they are brigands, they're braver than we


For these lowlife felines, the sea holds allure
When staying ashore would mean jail time for sure

But life on the sea's not the parole you might think

'Cause in prison at least there's no chance that you'll sink.

Swampy Santa

Well I guess this ones a little late- who has time to scan and blog around Christmas though?
