Oscar the Grouch 2

Here is a different pose of Oscar. I wanted to draw him a little more skewed and dirty looking. I always loved how the actual puppet looked greasy and old. One of the things that bugs me most about the recent illustrations of Oscar (and the other characters in this Elmo era) is that they have such polished, clean look now. I loved the illustrations from the 70's and 80's that made them look like the very "used" and touchable puppets.
