Jim Henson's LABYRINTH Sculptures

Hey everyone! I just came back from Easter break visiting my mom in Desmairis, Alberta and I was reminded that she had all of my "Labyrinth" sculptures in a display cabinet. Jim Henson's Labyrinth is one of my all time FAVORITE movies (along with Dark Crystal and Nightmare Before Christmas) and I though I would share them with you all. These were the FIRST sculpts I ever did! I think it was 1997 or 1998. Although I know I could do a better job now, I love reflecting on previous work and appreciating the moment for where I was creatively at the time. I still think they have the magic and charm intended by Jim Henson and the Henson Studios. Incidentally, I have an amazing storybook which I based all of the sculpts on, I'm including the pictures for reference. Thanks again guys, and please enjoy the pics and commentary:) Lance
