"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," In 1989 Èduard Zarjanskij channelled several famous #Tolkien photos to create this super-cool but distinctly Sicilian pic for the back of Raduga's Russian translation of The Fellowship of the Ring. The forged signature adds an extra little thrill

Hope he doesn't find Shadofax's head in his bed. He'll be swimming with the fastitocalon etc

"Pippin sat up with his knees drawn up and the ball beteen them. He bent low over it, looking like a greedy child stooping over a bowl of food, in a corner away from the others.. He drew his cloak aside and gazed at it" “Osanwe” #TolkienTrewsday @timbolton.bsky.social #LOTR Art Peter Xavier Price

The Arkenstone. It was like a globe with a thousand facets, it shone like silver in tge firelight, like water in the sun, like sniw under the stars, like rain upon the moon. There appears to be 2 slugs arguing over the jewel in my garden. Any mollusc experts? Eggs? #Tolkien

Crebain next?

Brian Weaver @brianitguy.bsky.social · 9d

Not sure, you might need to trawl the net. The image in the book The Art of Middle-Earth is across 2 pages so wouldn't pruduce a good scan
