Jim Henson's Labyrinth Artist Tribute (1) Hardcover – November 8, 2016

I bought this because theory are some comic artists, mainly David Mack I love. He drew the fairies in this book and I recently bought a drawing of it from him. It's much nicer and better illustrated with so much talent than I knew. Thank you. Great book, got here fast in excellent shape.

Through dangers untold.......These artists span countries and age ranges in having encountered this timeless, Jim Henson's fantasy movie. Many of the artist give commentary of how the movie inspired them as kids (or as young adults), finding magic in the lifelike nature of the puppets or the charismatic trickster of Jareth the Goblin King. Some pay homage to their favorites, while others throw in "Easter eggs" of lesser seen character in the artwork. I found it cheeky and clever that Dan McKean planted his characters of MirrorMask (another Henson affiliated work) into the glass ball Jareth holds; as though they may inhabit the same fantasy landscape. Also had a "squee" moment as Jeff Stokely's design is in this, which I currently have as a t-shirt. It makes me kind of wish his shirt design accomplices Karen Hallion, Megan Lara, Nemons, and Medusa Dollmaker had added contributions of their Labyrinth-inspired art. Overall, a beautiful dedication to a movie that was underrated when it came out during a big blockbuster month. It has since been recognized to have amazing creativity, emotional nuances, absurdist humor, and the message of childhood transitions to adulthood. Thirty years and it is now further down this mazelike road we call life.

Good book! Was is great shape bit not what I expected. Has different artists work, but not the concept art like I was hoping for. Neat for the collection.

This book has stunning images created by talented artist who have grown up and who are captivated by "The Labyinth". One of the best images is by my niece, Lily Fox, who introduced me to the movie and the book. I just had to buy it. :-)

Fantastic art work and I loved the little blurbs about what inspired people, mainly jim and bowie.Very vivid, great coloration, nice thick pages. just a beautiful book. I'm very happy I got it.

Maybe I expected a larger book, but the art in the book was beautiful and did follow along the time line of the movie. A lot of art dedicated towards the Goblins, creatures and Sarah. I was disappointed with the lack of art for Jareth though. As it is a tribute I would have expected more Jareth as he did simultaneously popped up through the story of the movie. Unfortunately we only had a few, but very beautiful, pieces that showed him.The tribute was beautiful but for the price I expected more artwork. It does make a nice piece for my faerie and Labyrinth collection I have.

The art work in this book is so amazing and beautiful. It gives you a whole new enchanting experience on the classic movie Labyrinth.

Original artistic interpretations by other artists of Jim henson's the labyrinth. I found the art to be beautiful but thought this was a book about the art that was actually in the labyrinth.

I purchased this for someone who is a fan of the film "Labyrnith" and it was well received. The illustrations are beautiful and anyone who loves the film would appreciate it.

De Lujo!!

Esta película la vi en estreno cuando tenía 14 años y marco una época de mi vida muy bella, el libro esta genial las obras que presentan visualmente están muy bien realizadas y a un precio muy accesible un artículo altamente recomendado para las personas que son fans de esta mítica película de culto dentro del mundo de Jim Henson.

wow so beautiful i like it :)

“Labyrinth artist tribute” è una raccolta di illustrazioni ispirate al celebre film di Jim Henson che nel 2016 ha festeggiato il trentennale. Gli artisti che hanno partecipato a questo lavoro corale sono stati tutti affascinati dal "mondo del Labirinto" e dai suoi straordinari personaggi, in primis il Re del Goblin Jareth, quando erano bambini o adolescenti. Quelle prime impressioni li hanno poi accompagnati nel loro percorso formativo e professionale, come alcuni di loro hanno raccontato nelle note a margine delle illustrazioni.L’introduzione, che chiarisce il contesto e il significato del volume, è curata da Dave Goelz, uno dei marionettisti della squadra di Henson, che in Labyrinth ha animato Sir Didymus.Le illustrazioni della raccolta riguardano tutti i personaggi; accanto ai celebrati Jareth e Sarah, troviamo i buffi e teneri comprimari come Bubo, Sir Didymus e Ambrogio, lo gnomo Gogol e persino le "mani animate" protagoniste di una famosa scena con Sarah. I disegni si differenziano molto nello stile, ma sono accomunati dalla passione per un film che negli anni è diventato un vero e proprio oggetto di culto.L’ultima sezione del libro, anch'essa molto interessante, è dedicata al processo creativo che ha portato alla bellissima copertina di Steve Morris centrata sull'affascinante Jareth.
