What a wonderful site! Thank you so very much for enabling me to view your many works of art and for sharing in your journies and adventures. It's just the escape I need to another time and place I feel more connected to then the present!

John, I'm researching my ancestors from Alsace. If you have any insights on Alsatian life, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Jeff

Hi John, I just wanted to thank you for the way you share the incredible gift of your art. I can barely draw circles... so I am always in awe of true and lively artwork. When you intend it to be so, your pictures look alive: like they could unfold themselves from the page or screen. Just wonderful! I have to confess, my absolute favourite is the centaur armour from your book... *g* I can read just enough French, so I do believe I'll be checking where I can get a copy. Thank you SO much for the lovely work!

What a pleasure to see the world of Tolkien come to life before our eyes! Thank you for all the time and energy you have invested. Your self portrait makes me giggle -- seems you are illustrating for the Red Book of Westmarch. Best wishes ~~ A hobbit from the Fanatics Plaza Shire.

Dear John,

You are a truly talented artist! Your artwork is vivid and life like. Thank you for sharing your Lord of the Rings illustrations with us fans. I am proud to call you a fellow Canadian. Keep up the fantastic work.

Cheers

Bonjour Monsieur HOWE,

je rêve depuis longtemps de faire votre metier, et je travaille dans ce sens. Le fait de voir votre reussite, à  travers ce site, m'encourage au plus haut point! Même si cela n'a pas l'air d'etre facile pour vous tous les jours. Pour cela je vous remercie.

Un rêve à  plus court terme serai de discuter avec vous autour d'une bonne biere le crayon à  la main...
Encore merci,et bonne continuation.

Matthieu

P.S. il existe de magnifiques chateaux non loin de celui de Carcassonne, en connaissez-vous l'existance?

Goodday Mr. Howe.

Looking through your gallery makes me long for summer and the Viking and midieval reenactments events that will be going on this summer. Oh just the thought of putting on your dress and fix your hair in a nice bun and bring out the sketch book and just sketch everything you see around you... it makes me giddy with longing. Anyway, your art is simply breathtaking, I will enjoy having a closer look after posting this.

Thank you for charing your work.

Love Diana aka "Dee"

Dear John,

Your log on Carcassonne took me back a few years. I visited in 2000 and I had the same sort of experience. Mixed feelings but an overall sense of awe about the sheer scale of such a structure. My photographs of the time inspired me greatly, I wonder if we get to see some of the structures details in your future works?
