FROM THE MINDS OF JIM HENSON & FRANK OZ -- "A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT IN FANTASY ADVENTURE."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1000x1554 -- Spotlight on a movie poster designs for the 1982 dark fantasy film "The Dark Crystal," directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. Artwork by Richard Hescox.

"This piece was painted by Richard Hescox who has had a prolific career as a film poster artist. You might know his work from films like "The Neverending Story," "Swamp Thing," the Video Dead, or the home video box art of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." I believe that this piece was commissioned very early on in the pre-production process as the design of the Skeksis is largely off-model (a rarity in most of the "Dark Crystal" promotional artwork), and the logo and taglines look to be earlier drafts."

Richard Hescox, “First Contact.” When I wanted to include this artwork in my art collection, I reached out to the artist for more information on where it was first published and got a surprising answer: Never. Hescox created it as a sample for his portfolio in 1975.

My art collection has a nice clean version of it in my section about gunfights in space. So, today is the first time this one has appeared in print!

My book "Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s" is out now, get it here!
