Listening to any whisper is a dangerous pastime! You could listen to hidden truths or unspeakable secrets, as well as to wits uttered for the sole purpose of leading you on the wrong path. If you��re not willing to pay the price, it’s not wise to spy, especially someone like me!

30 Years of Tolkien

Today (26th December 2021) marks the 30th anniversary of my first exposure to the works of JRR Tolkien in the form of the Bakshi Lord of the Rings film. I started reading the book shortly afterwards, and the rest, as they say, is history. In 30 years of Tolkien fandom, I have made many friends all over the world, and have created several hundreds of Tolkien inspired artworks, mostly watercolours. Most of those that were painted from 1997 onwards can be found here or here.

The images above are a walk down memory lane, and haven’t been published online before. The earliest are from 1992 and are strongly inspired by David Wenzel’s Hobbit comic. The artwork shown above ranges from 1992 to around 2003. Many are unfinished or discarded pieces. They consist of the earliest ink and watercolour drawings, coloured pencil and pencil works, watercolour paintings, drypoint etching (the Nazgûl) and lithography (the black rider).

The watercolour works owe much to Alan Lee’s style. Around 1999 I changed the vertical format to a horizontal one to allow for more dynamic compositions which are often inspired by cinematography. I was lucky that when the Jackson films were released, my vision of Middle-earth was already firmly established, and I was able to stick to it, albeit at the moment, I try to develop and make it more diverse.

Tolkien remains a strong inspiration. I’m currently working on illustrations for a book about the Second Age written by Martin Simonson, to be published by Sapere Aude in Spain. I also found an old unfinished watercolour (the very last image shown above) which I think I begun around 2003 and for some reason never completed. In retrospect, I really like it. Moreover, it’s a scene that’s still on my to-do list, so I’m going to finish it now, almost twenty years later.

Thank you to all who’ve engaged with me through my artwork over the years, particularly @germantolksoc and @tolkiensociety-blog Here’s to the next 30 years ...
