TOLKIEN TRIBUTE ART

Inspired by a love of Middle Earth

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

- J. R. R. Tolkien

If I were to look back on my career as an artist I can pinpoint my early writing and art inspirations in 6th grade, when I first read the Hobbit. The maps intrigued me and so I began sketching some of my own to go with my writings.

In 2015 I took on the challenge to create one ink drawing a day for October, #inktober. Little did I know that the mini halfling paintings that I created that year would spark a new series for me.
