The event takes place at the Pennsylvania Convention Centre on October 12th – 14th.
Brian Froud’s World of Faerie
Essential reading for all faery art fans, Brian Froud’s World of Faerie is a deluxe 174 page book spanning the artist’s thirty year career. The book includes many never before seen paintings and drawings, enhanced by Froud’s own words about his experiences and insights within the Realm.
“It is a rare thing for a book to so define an artist, Brian Froud’s World Of Faerie is the most personal, revealing and expressive book I have ever created. I believe that this must be the essential Froud book for anyone who wishes to explore ever more deeply the world of Faerie through my eyes.”
- Brian Froud
This lavish edition includes the following special features: 3 booklets of unpublished works; a double gatefold revealing the inside of Brian’s studio for the first time; and an original poster “Instructions” by Neil Gaiman featuring art by Brian and Wendy Froud.

Artist of the Month – Maxine Gadd
We are pleased to present Australian-based fantasy artist Maxine Gadd as September’s Artist of the Month. Maxine’s work explores many facets of the Faerie world, using an array of different media. Her attention to detail is stunning, and the use of rich colours give her work tremendous depth. We have previously reviewed her book ‘Faeries and Other Fantastical Folk’ here on Fae Nation. Please visit the gallery for more art, or Maxine’s website Fatara World.
