Some of my tapestry-like LOTR artworks from 2018-2020!

I know you’ve already seen them before, but I wanted to gather them in one post and set the inspiration mood for the project I’ve been working on these past weeks! Can’t wait to finally show you! ⚔️🍃🌋✨

Julius Grimm (1842-1906)

In 1888, Julius Grimm used photography and telescope observation to create this intricately detailed and precise oil painting of the moon. In the night sky, the moon is always lit from behind you – so the shadows of the craters can never appear as they do in this painting. Grimm instead regarded the moon as if it were a still life, bathed in golden light emanating from the left side of the painting. 

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

A new piece I’ve been working on these past few days!

Not a mug this time, but you’ll be seeing them pretty soon! Can’t wait for you to tell me what you think!
