I am a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's work, and I take every chance I get to express that love in my illustrations. In this project I created a cover for his book The Hobbit, as well as a cover for the soundtrack of the film. The illustration around the edges of the book's cover follow the plot of the story, beginning with Gandalf's visit to Bag End and ending with the flight of Smaug the terrible dragon.
