Have you tried contacting Froud direct?

Just realized I provided no context for this piece. It’s an upcoming cover for Jim Henson Presents. (Unrelated to the little story I was talking about yesterday.)

But I took the opportunity with this cover to do my version of a baby/kid Jen. And a (slightly) younger Mystic.

At the time I was working on two different Dark Crystal books for two different publishers and I pitched the baby Jen/urSu story to them. It was during the Age of Resistance days and I think, then, folks were only looking for works that tied into that story.

But either way, the one project turned into The Dark Crystal Tales (now out of print)!

Its like the very cosmos are trying to keep this series from ever reaching the light of day again.

This is so gorgeous I can't imagine nobody picking this up, especially with art like this. I hope that one day it goes somewhere - I'd love to read it!
