Oh yippee! I just found a poster of a painting by John Howe that I bought back in '92. It is the picture of Gandalf and Frodo on a precipice overlooking Rivendell (I'm pretty sure that's who/ where it is) with the river crashing around them. It was one of I guess a series of posters put out for Tolkien's 100th birthday. I used to have it in my room when I lived at home, then it got lost in the labyrinth of boxes when I moved out. I have it framed now and waiting to be hung up!

Have anyone noticed Catherine Karina Chmiel, the 'Boromirist' from Poland? I discovered her just recently and fell in love with her work. The pics are all good, but my favourites are those of Boromir and Faramir, they're warm and charming, and expresses well the loving bond between them.
Rolozo Tolkien: Chmiel

They do look quite good, indeed. Also, April Lee is very good, though she doesn't do LOTR exclusively.

Naturally, I prefer the "Boromirist"'s pre-movie stuff. But hey! Wot's that with Aragorn captured by Saruman?

Apparently the Captain and King-series are illustrations for a fanfic. Read the top of the page on Rolozo

Look at the pic of Finduilas reading to her sons. It's charming to see how Boromir is rather bored and is irking to play with his horses and soldiers instead. While Faramir is paying attention to the book. Great stuff.

Rolozo Tolkien has to be the best gallery on the web.

It's hard to say which artist I like the most.
Alan Lee has drawn the covers of my LotR books, and I love those covers very much. I like John Howe for his character drawings, especially those of Gandalf. Ted Nasmith makes wonderful landscapes. Then there's this fan artist, Anke-Katrin Eiszmann, whose drawings I love. She draws great paintings of the characters from LotR and Silmarillion. Her pictures of Faramir, Denethor and Éowyn are my favourites.

None?
I keep myself away from other people's interpretations of books as much as possible. Sometimes even the cover art is too much. I feel it will alter my personal view of how the world is set up.

I like Ted Nasmith's landscapes especially "The Sea". I like the mix of colors, how he mixes the deep colors with light like in "The Eagles of Manwe, "The Light of Valinor on the Western Sea", "By Moonlight in Neldoreth Forest", and "The Bridge of Khazad-dum". I also like John Howe and Alan Lee, but I always go back to looking at "The Sea".

This is perhaps slightly off topic but I didn't want to put up a new thread.
Anyway, these Calvin & Hobbes-inspired LotR fanfic comic strips by Catherine Karina Chmiel are soooo cute. http://www.tolkien.com.pl/kasiopea/a...eriakomiks.htm
