Armenelos

I’m thrilled to announce the release of a series of 12 new works, commissioned for David Day’s latest – and recently released – book: 'The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age' (2023)!

Although I’ve luckily contributed to Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movie franchise in the past, having my work published in a Tolkien book is a particularly special feeling for me.

I’ll be uploading my Second Age illustrations (predominantly landscapes) roughly once a week in the next few months, starting with Armenelos above. But if you’re eager, please do check the book out. My work is published alongside many other wonderful Tolkien illustrators, some of whom I’m really happy to say I can call friends – so I guarantee it’s worth it!

All works completed in the summer of 2022.

‘At the feet of the mountain were built the tombs of the Kings, and hard by upon a hill was Armenelos, fairest of cities, and there stood the tower and the citadel that was raised by Elros son of Eärendil, whom the Valar appointed to be the first King of the Dúnedain.’
