Previously unseen Brian Froud artwork for Labyrinth

[Tolkienerd]

Many years ago I was offered these for sale from a private collector but never purchased them, as far as I am aware they have never previously been published or indeed seen by the public.

These photos are only relatively small thumbnails of much larger drawings, but I thought there might be some interest in seeing them by folks here....enjoy

These are awesome, thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thank you!
However the last one is from the Fearies book, I think.

You're undoubtedly right, it does appear to be more polished than the other artwork and in a style that doesn't really fit the Labyrinth universe. However, it was offered in the same batch and labelled as such.

May I ask how much those were? Did he sell them?

PS: Im always interested in original props/artwork from these 2 movies.

I offered him $3,000 for all of them, which was accepted before I got cold feet.

He eventually sold them individually on ebay for much less.

The only thing I have is a Humungous maquette but I think you already have one of those

For anyone that's interested in seeing more pictures of Humungous (it's not for sale):

Thanks! I think the Homungous pics dont work.
So you also got one? Wow, I wonder how many exist?
