"The Wargs"
But even the wild Wargs (for so the evil wolves ofer the Edge of the Wild were named) cannot climb trees. For a time, they were safe. Luckily it was warm and not windy. Trees are not very comfortable places to sit for long at any time; but in the cold and the wind, with wolves all around below waiting for you, they can be perfectly miserable places.

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.
