Not my usual style but I just *HAD* to do it:-) I saw this while walking around the aisles in Home Depot. These OOK Shield Picture Hangers came in a two pack and I thought: it's the Yip Yip Aliens from Sesame Street!

Called my husband to bring home his rocket ship pen to use as a prop. When he saw them he said, "It's Beaker!" Great.. now all I could see was Beaker from the Muppets:-)

Getting the right background was not easy as that it had to be simple and minimalistic without distracting. Thanks to my husband for providing some of the puns and helping make the title better:-)

Wonder if anyone will get the "Lost Moon of Poosh" reference:-)?

This is, no doubt, my favorite image from your portfolio. I really liked it in the smile/frown competition.

You two are so imaginative and creative!

I love it. This is hilarious! I love all the details you've created, especially with the background paper. A true delite for muppet fans. The only thing I have to look up is "poosh" LOL

i think a stronger focus on the wallhanger may have helped. very nice capture and great detail, but I would recommend a tighter focus on the primary subject. The "face" on the wallhanger is really pretty cool. I wish it stood out more.

Waaaay too much going on here---the shield with the eyes on sticks is funny in its own right.The rest is clutter.
