Description
I often wondered what JRR Tolkien would have made of the film adaptions of his LOTR trilogy.
Tolkien died in 1973, and it would be 23 years untill a New Zealand director called Peter Jackson, thought it would be 'cool' to make the trilogy into films.
It's a shame the two never met, i'm sure Tolkien would have more than a little input, and maybe the films would have been different to the ones we know and love today.
I thought that if they couldn't meet in real life, then I could bring them together on paper.
This is my fantasy art of JRR Tolkien visiting Peter Jackson on the Edoras set.

Finally, the master comes face-to-face with the disciple.

Pencils on A3, 5 hours approx

N.B. This was sold on eBay to a guy out in New Zealand. I thought i was quite fitting the the art should be drawn in England, the homeland of Tolkien, and sent to New Zealand, the homeland of Jackson.
Poetic justice indeed.

UPDATE 09/02/2012 Today this was featured on the Facebook page of theonering.net, (anyone who has the slightest inkling of Tolkien fan-base will know who these guys are) and posted on the walls of over 51,000 fans!!
I am very proud to have been recognised by these guys
