"The Trolls"
A nice pickle they were all in now: all neatly tied up in sacks with three angry trolls (and two with burns and bashes to remember) by them, arguing whether they should roast them slowly, or mince them fine and boil them, or just sit on them one by one and squich them into jelly; and Bilbo up in a bush, with his clothes and his skin torn, not daring to move for fear they should hear him.
Alan Lee was one of the leading designers in The Hobbit Trilogy set of movies from Peter Jackson. You can see that these posters from the 90s show a strong resemblance to those later films, his influence is undeniable.
Alan Lee does "still work" the best -- even when his subjects are in motion, they look very quiet and almost dreamlike. There's a lot of detail poured into these, since even small twigs, cracks and stains make their way into his artwork. They also tend to have muted, faded colours, lots of soft greys, browns and greens. Some of them look like sepia photographs.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be sent in a cardboard backed envelope for protection.
