Internationally acclaimed film and faerie artists Brian and Wendy Froud share their collection of original artwork from their latest book, Trolls.
Brian is an award-winning artist, author and concept designer, who also imagined and designed Jim Henson’s cult classic film, Labyrinth.

Wendy is the fabricator of “Yoda” from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. She sculpted and fabricated “Kira” and “Jen” from The Dark Crystal, and sculpted and fabricated several Labyrinth goblins.
