Why Brian Froud?
I've been a fan of Brian Froud since before I really knew who he was. Growing up my favorite movie was Labyrinth. Later in college my roommate introduced me to Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book and Good Fairies/Bad Fairies and I've been hooked ever since.Being a fantasy artist myself I'm of course drawn to other fantasy art but his has a special magic. It runs the gammot from ethereal and delicate to silly and earthy. While my artwork is quite different from his it never fails that if I'm suffering from artists block a little time looking at his work will free it up.
