tolkien-inspired-art: WHICH TOLKIEN CHARACTER DESERVES MORE ATTENTION AND WHY?  cear: Tom Bombadil! ‘With another hop and a bound there came into view a man, or so it seemed. At any rate he was too large and heavy for a hobbit, if not quite tall enough for one of the Big People, though he made noise enough for one, stumping along with great yellow boots on his thick legs, and charging through grass and rushes like a cow going down to drink.’ First time this happened to my art (that I know of): repost without credit. Because it’s so difficult to look up the source. View high resolution

“The Fox”  Saw one today while cycling, reminded me of this scene. The watercolour painting is inspired by Chapter 3 of The Lord of the Rings and was painted in 2004 (gosh, almost ten years ago). Must be the strangest and most curious scene in the entire book. View high resolution

I’m currently framing some of my Tolkien-inspired watercolours for an upcoming exhibition at the central library of Aachen, Germany.

Looking at all these paintings from the past thirteen or so years makes me wish I had more time for painting at the moment. And for rereading Tolkien, particularly the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Can’t wait for Christmas break.

Walking Tree Publishers has released a new book that features another of my drawings on the cover: Sub-creating Middle-earth – Constructions of Authorship and the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien by Judith Klinger. Actually, this book has been long in the making. The drawing, entitled “The Red Book”, was commissioned by the author in 2007.
