This is probably my personal favorite Tolkien artist...

you can subscribe to an email newsletter that John sends out each month which talks about his works in progress, his travels and other aspects of his daily life.
not only do i think John is an excellant artist, he has a great sense of humor...a little on the dark side which i appreciate!!! it is quite enjoyable to read and it gives me a reminder to go check out his site from time to time.

i kept this quote he made in one of his newsletters because it cracked me up...
When wandering in your mind, stay on the path and NEVER leave food in your tent

i just went to check out John's site for anything new and i see he has added a Fan Art section in his portfolio. i think that is pretty cool for an artist like him to take the time to encourage his fans in this way...

now let's see if i can do something good enough to submit there...gulp!
