I love The Muppets. So a year ago, when I was contacted by the awesome folks over at CUDO (Champaign-Urbana Design Org) and agreed to participate in their 5th volume of the worldwide phenomenon PechaKucha, I knew exactly what my subject would be. After the break, see the official video of that presentation – featuring my illustrated Muppet adventure – and find out just what the heck PechaKucha is…
In a nutshell, PechaKucha is a group of presenters talking and sharing images on any number of interesting topics, but there’s a catch: each presenter gets twenty slides that last twenty seconds each, and the presenter has just that amount of time – six minutes and forty seconds – to talk. It is a truly remarkable event to behold, and even remarkabler (??) to participate.
I was just notified that the official video of my talk from CUDO’s PechaKucha Vol. 5 has been posted, in which I discuss the Rise and Fall and In-Progress Resurrection of The Muppets. My twenty slides are comprised of my own little Muppet Show; an illustrated, character-driven mini adventure that plays out over the duration of my talk. I am super stoked to finally be sharing this with you!

If you find yourself intrigued at all by this format, I encourage you to head to CUDO’s next PechaKucha event and experience it firsthand. It really is an amazing night, and even topics you think “I have no interest in that” you find yourself falling head-first into the passion it’s presenter has for it. I love PechaKucha, I love CUDO, and I love having had the opportunity to be a part of this event!
