I hope that things are going well with you and your family these days. I also wished to thank you for your contributions to fantasy art - especially Tolkien - over the years. I quite enjoyed your Myth & Magic, Forging Dragons, and the somewhat recent Middle-earth Traveller books. Speaking of Middle-earth Traveller, can we expect some of the images from that book to be added to your portfolio on your website?
The reason why I'm writing today; is that I'm interested in possibly obtaining a print of 'Smaug the Golden' : https://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/data/media/1/Smaug.jpg . Are there any prints for sale, and how much would one cost? If yes, how would one go about obtaining one? That image of Smaug is among my favourite-ever pieces of Tolkien related art. No one does dragons quite like you do.
I know it's included in the long out of print poster collection called Images of Middle-earth, though they go for quite a bit these days on the marketplace. Unless you have a spare one...... 😉 [half joking.]
That's pretty much it! I hope things are going well, and I wish you the best of luck on the art and design on Amazon's Middle-earth series. I also look forward to your new artwork featured in the forthcoming Unfinished Tales 40th anniversary illustrated edition (and the corresponding 2021 Calendar), as well as your forthcoming art in general.
Looking forward to hearing back from you. Have a great weekend!
