#TolkienTrewsday "Colours" and Roger Garland flexes his polychromatic muscles in Bridge of Khazad-dûm (c. 1983). Here the reds, browns, purples and blues denote the evils of Moria, while the green glow signals freedom. Poor old Gandalf the Grey (+ blue and red) is going nowhere but down 😔 #Tolkien

Tidying the attic and found this. Before I joined the Tolkien Society I joined The Fellowship. Society in the US centred around Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. Original joining form #LOTR #RalphBakshi #Tolkien

"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
