Scenes like this are initially created in a sketch, and then Greg and Tim would spends hours upon hours looking for the right photographic reference to combine for their painting, and bring their sketch to life. All posing was done in the studio using friends of the two artists, and it was always a blast!
Print of the original 1976 Lord of the Rings Calendar centerfold, The Fellowship of the Ring.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
