RIP KERMIT LOVE


Best Known for his work with MUPPETS...Love began his career as a marionette maker and costume designer for Broadway and other stage productions as early as the 1930s!

Initially Love was not associated with J.Henderson (creator of KERMIT THE FROG), but in the 60s fate came knocking and these incredible artists crossed paths....

As love built his own reputation & perfected his craft he brought us all two of our favorite and most adored characters-Big Bird & Mr. Snuffleupagus. His vision for Big Bird was for the puppet to shed feathers in the course of normal movement, "Not unlike a tree shedding leaves in the Fall" to appear more natural to young viewers.

Love then went on to work on the Muppet Show & Various other films.
