As a 90s kid, I watched some of the Dinosaurs tv show on ABC, and then again a few years later when it ran in syndication on the Disney Channel. But I had never previously seen every episode across all four seasons until last year, when I revisited the series for the first time as an adult. I immediately became OBSESSED with its clever progressive social commentary.

I've now watched the entire series beginning to end a few times over. As a kid, I watched it for the Henson puppets---but as an adult I return again and again for what the puppets have to say. It's brilliant. An all-time best show ever, if you ask me. I genuinely can't believe it even exists at all. If you haven't seen the show as an adult, I highly recommend giving it your time. I think you'll be as surprised as I was at how relevant it remains.

Over the course of a few months, I channelled my love for the show into an illustrated fan art poster, now translated into a 7-color screen print. I have such respect for the writers and creative team responsible for bringing this show into existence 35 years ago, and my poster is a love letter to them.

My poster features:

The entire Sinclair family (and their home)--

Earl, Fran, Robbie, Charlene, BABY, and the indelible grandma, Ethyl Phillips (one of my favorite characters on the show).

Rounding out the cast of main characters is Spike, Roy Hess, Monica de Vertebrae, and BP Richfield.

I had a blast jam packing this poster with some of my favorite puppets, details, and references from my favorite episodes.

You can spot news anchor Howard Handupme, Stan the Bunch Beetle, Cider Poppies, Arthur Rizzic, Cookie Creature, Earl's lunchbox creatures, Earl's WE SAY SO hardhat, Roy's sandwich creature, a rare Grapdelite (and two Grapdelite babies!), a nesting bird with two baby chicks, a Pteranodon flying off with Baby Sinclair over a volcano, his famous "Not-The-Mama" frying pan, and at the center of it all, the beloved Sinclair refrigerator, worthy of an annual holiday in its name.

NOTE:

This print will debut in person at Mass Mini Con in Boston, September 12 &13. Prints will go on sale via my website following the event, for $120 including shipping.
