Dear Mr. Howe,
Many greetings from the visual land of Middle Earth aka Nz!
I wish to pass on my admiration for your numerous artworks based on the Tolkien’s text of Middle Earth {and if possible to your arch nemesis as well, Mr.Lee ;)}. Your illustrations capture the very enchanted feel of Middle Earth when one reads Tolkien, a notable example being the illustrations of Gandalf looking down from a hill onto the Shire. The love of Tolkien is visible seen in your other illustrations as well.
Your illustrations have not only helped me develop a love for the Golden Age Illustrators but are also a source of inspiration on my road in becoming an illustrator.
Though I do not wish to impose, I would be honoured if you are able to give advice on how one should improve their drawing skills or learn/ study from other illustrators works. If there’s a forum post covering that topic or if there’s a way to contact you directly it would be very much appreciated if you can help a mere pencil scribbler such as I become better at the craft.
I wish the best in your daily and artistic endeavours and thank you for hosting a site to see and explore more of your marvellous work.
Sincerely yours,
C.T
