You'll probably find us lurking around the art room!

Beren's Tolkien Library site has an exciting update! His book about Cor Blok's work will be available in September and I've already pre-ordered it. It's called A Tolkien Tapestry: Pictures to accompany The Lord of the Rings and you can find out more about it at his site here

.

From The Tolkien Library:

Readers will find Cor Blok's work refreshing, provocative, charming and wholly memorable – the bold and expressive style that he created stands as a unique achievement in the history of fantasy illustration. Rarely has an artist captured the essence of a writer's work in such singular fashion; the author himself agreed, and what higher accolade is there?

A hundred Cor Blok paintings to enjoy

I've already put it on my Amazon Wishlist. So will have to be patient until Christmas . . .

The cover illustration for next year's Tolkien Calendar is fantastic - I love it. What a treat this all is

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Iolanthe. And a big thank you and congratulations to Beren for putting it all together.

Thanks for posting this, Fangorn! It's interesting to hear him talk about his influences, etc. Still bugs me a little to hear that he doesn't consider himself a Tolkien fan, though.

thanks for this, Fangorn! really interesting to see the man himself describe his art in his own words. I have both the calenders and received the book for Christmas - it's wonderful, and Beren has done a really good job. Blok's work has a charm all its own and I'm glad that he's receiving wider recognition now.
