Jonathan Putz
Jonathan Putz (b. 1986) draws inspiration from Jim Henson’s The Muppets, particularly Miss Piggy. Using mostly sharpie on materials ranging from paper to recycled toilet paper rolls, he puts his own creative spin on his characters, dressing them in a range of extravagant, and often scantily clad, outfits. Putz pays special attention to accent details in his work, always adding his own unique twists on the familiar characters.
