BACK AGAIN, THOUGH STILL THERE AS WELL?

Well, I’m back.
I confess that everything caught up with me, and what I had planned as a short break from newsletters turned into a rather longer one. Work continues unabated, and given that I have been doing a little moonlighting as well, finding enough hours in the day has been difficult.
Additionally, this newsletter isn’t really one, more just a sign of life than anything else, and the opportunity to rekindle my own energy and continue on with them as before. This said, I haven’t been wholly idle, and have done a few illustrations for board game covers, as well as a very exciting little project for a London publisher, a preface for a book, and several interviews for web sites and magazines, all of which quickly make weekends and evenings disappear with surprising ease.

Review of Beyond Time and Place - The Art of Paul Raymond Gregory
from Tolkien Library News
(2013/1/20 17:00)

I think it is likely that only a few of the oldest Tolkien fans will remember Paul Raymond Gregory as an artist who briefly appeared on the scene back in the late 1970s and then vanished. It certainly came as a surprise to me that he had been working on Tolkien-inspired art ever since, alongside his main career as an album-cover artist and music promoter. The result is the collection of paintings which form part of this book.

The Jackson Quibble: Is the new Hobbit flick harming the greater good?
from Tolkien Library News
(2013/1/19 17:00)
|
Let's be honest from the off: the new Hobbit movie is disappointing at best. That's not in dispute with the majority of people, both hardcore fans and general moviegoers alike. But what's open to debate is how it affects the entire Tolkien heritage.
