19 years ago today, PBS, Comcast, HiT Entertainment, and Sesame Workshop launched PBS KIDS Sprout - a place for parents and preschoolers to share everything together - from birthday wishes to bedtime stories - 24 hours a day. 19 years later, I'm doing digital art using cartoon versions of Sprout hosts and puppets from SproutOnline.com, and here's one of those pieces of 23 of them standing by a giant cake with candles of the numbers "1" and "9" that they all can't wait to dig into (the cake).
Top row: Nina, Sean, Kevin, Kelly, Miles, Melanie, Dennisha, Liz
Middle: Star, Banjo, Chica, Noodle, Ricky, Patty, Curtis, Stage Mice
Bottom: Mrs. C, Mr. C, Mr. Mailman, Sprout
