How are you feeling about the Mad King casting they released?

— from your evermore whimsical wife xoxo

Wish they made the entire cast ethnic out of spite because theres like two black people black people on the casting list and already people are crying is it really so distracting to see black/brown/asian people 🫩

Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction: Los Angeles Spring 2025

Lot # 86. Hand-Painted Brian Froud skekUng the Garthim-Master Artwork - Sold on Propstore.com, April 29, 2025

"SkekUng the Garthim-Master artwork hand-painted by conceptual and creature designer Brian Froud for the production of Frank Oz's and Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal.

skekUng is hand-painted onto a card panel with Froud's name hand-signed and the date "1981" inscribed within the artwork in the bottom right corner. Additional annotations of "20.5%" is handwritten inside the bottom border of the piece, while "104.7%", "13 3/8" and "76%" are handwritten inside the right border, with all these inscriptions rendered in pencil.

This artwork appears on page 91 of The World of the Dark Crystal book, which describes it as "a vivid portrait of skekUng the Garthim-Master clutching his staff of power. Much of skekUng's power must have come from his ability to assume positions of geometric harmony, unusual for a Skeksis; the overlay in the portrait clearly reveals this." Dimensions: 22.75" x 17.25" (57.75 cm x 44 cm)"

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Some older Dark Crystal Fan Art I made, I love that movie and I really wish the show continued.

The movie ended before we could really see them at peace. So I wanted to draw them relaxing together.

HC: in his youth, skekNa cut his hair himself to avoid being caught by it during fights. It always turned out uneven. One day he allowed skekShod to help him with it...
