Hello everyone! What brings me to write these words is the original movie poster for labyrinth. This one I have been doing research about it and I have been unsucccesfull so far... Does anyone have a clue of who the artist can be? Maybe he signed with an alias? Any info would be apreciated!

I know Brian Froud did most of the art/character design for the film. I'm not sure if he did the poster though. It was probably done by someone in-house working for Jim Henson company. Maybe dig around and find out who was in their art department at the time?

Yeah, if you look closer at the goblins in that picture it does look like Brian Froud's style of drawing. Helen

Yeah I thought it could be Froud too, but then again why would he sign with a diferent name?
I just dont get it.

I can't really see the signature well enough to read it. It probably *wasn't* Froud though, he was mostly on the front-end, the poster would have been made probably either while they were shooting the movie or shortly after. I still think it's probably some random Henson art department person.

I know that I am very late in responding to this post, but I am new to the forum... just thought I would share that it was Ted CoConis; who did the art for the Labyrinth Poster. It mentions who the cover art was by on this website for the Labyrinth comic book. comicattack.net/2010/01/ppa-labyrinth/Hope it helps!
