Tolkien's illustration of Rivendell.
The beauty is captured so well.
You can rely on a historical illustrator to bring imaginary artefacts alive visually, and when it comes to #Tolkien few can match the mighty Angus McBride. Take his Sea Lords of Gondor cover (1987) which features a super-cool Corsair captain wearing Tolkien's own Númenórean helm
🧙♂️ Good morning! It’s day three of tweeting a different Cor Blok painting each day this week, all inspired by #Tolkien's legendarium. Today’s choice is in honour of the latest Lego set reveal yesterday…

The Silmarils herealdic device – my redraw of Tolkien's own heraldic design. Made for Inktober 2021 prompt "Crystal"
J. R. R. Tolkien invented a whole system of elvish heraldry, but there is only one known device that is designated for objects instead of a person: the Silmarils.
On 18 January 1934, The Oxford Magazine published #Tolkien's poem, titled Looney. He revised it with title The Sea-Bell (Frodos Dreme) with darker tone and themes like dream, mortality and alienation; starting with a shell that emits the sound of seas. 1/8
🎨: Ulmo (Anna Kulisz)
Paradise Island is interesting as it is a *persistant* Utopia, but perhaps our view of it as a Utopia changes over time. The Amazons are also immortal (or long-lived), like Tolkien's Elves - but it also shows that long-life might only lead to stagnation and obedience.
Unusual Dachshund no 25
Gandolf (1934-1948), J.R.R. Tolkien's wire-haired dachshund, who allegedly inspired the character of Gandalf.

"I suppose after this year you will not be hanging your stocking anymore. I shall have to say goodbye. We always keep the names of our old friends and their letters."
#Tolkien's last Father Christmas letter, 25 December 1943, written when his youngest was 14 and WW2 was raging.

The letters were delivered by postal workers (who Tolkien had persuaded to help) or "magically arrived" on the fireplace. They were compiled and published posthumously in 1976, and became a special work that showed Tolkien's affinity for storytelling and love for family. 8/8
Father Christmas' last letter came as Tolkien's youngest hit teenage year, with a melancholic tone: "I suppose after this year you will not be hanging your stocking any more. I shall have to say goodbye.... We always keep the names of our old friends and their letters..." 7/8
"I have written the first chapter of a new story about Hobbits – ‘A long expected party’. A merry Christmas."
The closing line of #Tolkien's letter to C. A. Furth (19 December 1937), indicating that he had started to write what would later become The Lord of the Rings. 1/2
Walls on walls.
Hanging in the Huntsville Museum of Art in Alabama through January is one of my most successful depictions from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
