The Lord of the Rings
2020 | Markers
I grew up on The Lord of the Rings, and we’ve all seen the fine art paintings of famous scenes. So I wanted to try something different: using only permanent markers, I let bold strokes and bright colors capture the images that came into my head while reading Tolkien’s epic tale.
“Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. ‘But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”
I believe Tolkien’s words are worth a thousand pictures.
