I'm sure there are many lovers of great art among you fellow Barrow-Downers.
Well, you have come to the right place, for here is the first ever definitive collection of the Great Painters' interpretations of Tolkien's work.

LePetitChoux, that's brilliant! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I found myself laughing out loud many different times. The strange thing is, alot of it made sense, and I could see Tolkien's works in the paintings, either explicitly or abstractly. Thanks!
Peace

That was great! I wish they had spelled "Cirith Ungol" correctly, but that's just picky little me. Everyone check out the site! It's really worth it!

*chokes and sputters* That was brilliant! I believe I've seen it before, but it was a while ago, and I thought this was really funny. I especially liked the picture of Gandalf, Denethor, and Pippin... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks Petit, that was fun! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I loved Eowyn... "the dismay of a shieldmaiden..."lol!

Actually, there's more. No art, but more to that page. It's bigger and better than you thought! (Take the Middle-Earth test- I dare ya!) Here you go... Tolkien Sarcasm Page

GaladrieloftheOlden · 06-02-2003, 06:23 PM

That is so funny! Yes'm, I too am very nitpickie about spellings and such but it was still awesome! My fave was the one about Aragorn in his youth. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Be fore-warned: The 'Tolkien Sarcasm' page is not for those who cannot take a break and see the lighter side of Tolkien's works.
I, for one, thought it was superb! Thanks for the link! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Peace

great Hut screaming and flailing his arms.
