"Bag End"
By some curious chance one morning long ago in the quiet of the world, when there was less noise and more green, and the hobbits were still numerous and prosperous, and Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast smoking an enourmous long wooden pipe that reached down nearly to his woolly toes (neatly brushed) - Gandalf came by.

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.
