Hi everyone!

A new edition of “Jim Henson’s Imagination Illustrated” by Karen Falk is scheduled to release on August 27th, 2024 from Insight Editions and is available for preorder. There is a new foreword by Ron Howard, I am not sure what else may be new (if anything). I don’t have this book, so I am looking forward to reading it!  “Jim Henson’s Imagination Illustrated” features “rare sketches, personal and production photographs, storyboards, doodles, and more”. There is also a sticker (?) on the book in the photo that mentions a Disney+ original documentary called “Jim Henson: Idea Man” that shows as streaming at that time. I look forward to that too!

Read below for more information on “Jim Henson’s Imagination Illustrated“, with additional details at Amazon (and at other retailers).

Journey into the creative mind of the incomparable Jim Henson with this unique look into his daily life and the doodles and inspirations that would become some of the most beloved characters the world has ever known.

The iconic characters and magical lands that sprung from Jim Henson’s imagination have delighted millions of fans around the globe.
