John Howe,
I just wanted to take the time to let you know that I am one more admirer and person who had their direction in life altered by your work and vision. I had just about given up on the dream of being an illustrator. The market is never a kind or well recieving place for anyone, anywhere... BUT, I know that I have you and your colleague, Alan Lee, to thank in a sort of indirect way for keeping me going...
I own the extended edtion of the Fellowship and found myself often rewatching the appendices mush more than I did the actual movie itself... watching the joy, work ethic, and commraderie that the two of you showed in your work on the trilogy and the influences on the Weta art dept kept me going and believing in myself. I am a avid visitor of this site and the e-mails that chronicle your views on the absurdities and normalicies of the daily grind of life are a bright point in my day when I recieve them. Thank you so much for sharing your art and talent... I appreciate it, and someday, I hope to follow in your steps...
Sincerely- Mario Mora
