Today is my 34th Tolkien anniversary. As is befitting, I’m working on new Tolkien art, in this case a watercolour of Treebeard.

Think I have yet another favourite #Tolkien artist. Alexander Korotich's scraperboard #LOTR art is just amazing. Astounded by the detail scratched out with a needle. Do you know how big these pieces originally were @joelmerriner.bsky.social ?

Reading the brilliant Illustrating The Lord of the Rings in the Soviet Bloc. On the Panov chapter @joelmerriner.bsky.social Agree that his fortresses are like Garland's Barad-dûr. Also remind me of Danbury Mint chess piece #Tolkien #LOTR

In the introduction to my book I talk a bit (well, quite a lot) about Balrog iconographies, comparing/contrasting examples of the winged and wingless varieties. Falling firmly into the latter camp is this one: Paul Raymond Gregory's two-and-a-half metre wide epic oil painting Khazad-dûm #Tolkien 🔥

#TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday #Hospitality Hospitality is one of the highest virtues in Middle-earth, exemplified by some of the most gracious folk. Let's start with Círdan, whose Grey Havens both send and receive wanderers with compassionate service.

This picture of Polar Bear and penguins came from Tolkien's Christmas letter for Priscilla (1940), mentioning children displaced by war. Tolkien, as Father Christmas, said that penguins visited his North Pole home but didn't help much, yet he still welcomed them.

#TolkienTrewsday Week 147: Hospitality
“I am just about to take tea; pray come and have some with me.”
Is there any act more hospitable than letting in a bunch of uninvited dwarves (+ a wizard) into your home and enjoying good food and refreshments?
