The #artwork of Brian Froud [#geekgirl]

Dark Crystal by Brian Froud

If, you are a fan of the Dark Crystal, and who isn’t. You would have to be curious as to who is behind the amazing illustrations both on screen and in print. Welcome to the amazing world of Brian Froud. Actually it’s a world of Frouds where you can explore the work of Brian, his wife Wendy and son Toby. The website seems to need some updating but there’s a lot of buzz about the new project Brian has been involved with  (the prequel).

You’re going to <3 it!

For those who have NOT seen the movie, The Dark Crystal is a British fantasy-adventure (sic) directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, with concept art by Brian Froud. It tells the story of Jen, an adorable lil Gelfling (like an elf) on a quest to find a mysterious, broken Crystal that has the power to heal his world. The world is populated by many strange and curious creatures, including the peaceful Mystics and the scary-as-all-get-out Skeksis, both of whom are dying. The film features an amazing scene where the Emperor of the Skeksis slowly falls apart and decomposes in real time, and it is SO. EFFING COOL.
