	obits.com, The Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Jim Henson
		Henson's father was an agronomist for the US Department of Agriculture, assigned to a station in Leland, Mississippi, and it was there that Henson and his older brother Paul spent their early years.
		Henson's budding artistic talents were encouraged by his maternal grandmother who was herself a skilled painter and seamstress, and she was credited with teaching Henson needlework and soft sculpture techniques in his youth.
		Henson observed that by using the television camera to crop puppeteers from view of the audience, the puppets themselves would no longer be confined to the box-type stages traditionally used to screen operators from view.

	Jim Henson's Muppets Get The Smithsonian Treatment
		Jane Henson, widow of Muppets creator Jim Henson and a longtime puppeteer herself, was awed by the admiration of so many.

		The dean of Northwestern's Jim Henson School of Arts, Media and Communications, Leona Lowery-Hawkins, said one sign of Henson's universal appeal is that her high school musicians had been doing Swedish Chef imitations on the bus on the way to the ceremony and laughing hysterically.

	The Book of Habidabad - Jim Henson
		In the midst of these myriad activities, Henson conceived the idea of "The Dark Crystal" when he saw an illustration in a Lewis Carroll children's storybook -- a handsomely dressed crocodile in an ornate bathroom -- and imagined a fantasy world, threatened by decadent forces.
		Henson took five years to develop his idea, between time-outs for the Muppet films and television shows.
		He freely admits that is was not puppetry that first captured his fascination during boyhood but television itself, and it was to test his vision of the medium's unlimited scope that he learned puppetry, on the theory that it was the most direct way to break into television's ranks.

	MT&R \| The Muppets Say Cheese: The Photography of John E. Barrett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		By the late 1970s Henson realized his creations had taken on lives of their own, so much so that people subconsciously thought of them as actual personalities separate from Henson and his talented team of puppeteers.
		Henson wanted to play this up by giving the Muppets another dimension through posed images that would be just as clever as the physical and verbal interactions that fans saw each week on The Muppet Show.
		Two years later the Henson Photo Studio moved its operations down the street to a carriage house studio owned by Jane Henson (Jim’s widow), where thousands of photos were and still are taken by Barrett.
