Brian is an award-winning artist, author and concept designer, who also imagined and designed Jim Henson's cult classic film Labyrinth. With over 30 books in publication and over 8 million books sold to date, Brian Froud's best sellers include Good Faeries/Bad Faeries (Hugo and Chesley Awards), Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book (Hugo Award), the Faeries' Oracle and Lady Cottington's Fairy Album. His internationally best-selling book, Faeries, with fantasy and Tolkien illustrator Alan Lee, published in 1978 and reissued in 2002 and again in 2010, is considered a modern classic and has sold more than 3 million copies.
Wendy is the fabricator of "Yoda" from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. She sculpted and fabricated "Kira" & "Jen" from The Dark Crystal, and sculpted and fabricated several Labyrinth goblins. The Trolls exhibition will include Wendy's 3-D sculptural interpretations of select characters from the book. |

AFA | At AFA, we are inspired by wildly imaginative artwork that indulges the senses and engages the emotions with layers of symbolism and dark complexity. We exhibit paintings, drawings and sculptures created by extraordinary established and emerging artists who are highly skilled and have a unique vision.
AFA participates in the SoHo Arts Walk, now in its fifth year.
