"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

"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

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

Ce drame élémentaire se rejoue discrètement dans l’histoire des Eithel Ivrin, les sources du Narog : « ...cette eau se nourrit de fontaines cristallines et intarissables, et elle est gardée de toute souillure par Ulmo, qui cisela sa beauté dans l’ancien temps ». Silmarillion ,21❄️⤵️

Ted Nasmith: Turin et Gwindor aux Eithel Ivrin: au côté d'un bassin d'eau verte et claire, alimenté par une chute d'eau venu des montagnes boisées, les silhouettes de Turin et de Gwindor.

If you've just followed me, or have been tracking my #Tolkien art adventures for a while, I'd like to thank you all! Keep checking back regularly if you want art historical chat, punk orc sketches, book talk and classic pics like this: Angus McBride's Denizens of the Dark Wood MERP cover (1989) 💀
