Several pieces of my artwork from The Hobbit are currently being exhibited at the Shire Hall Museum, Dorchester, in ‘The Magic of Middle Earth’ exhibition.

Not long until the evenings are lighter and warmer, so that we can sit in trees, singing songs. #TheHobbit #JRRTolkien #Tolkien #Elves

Seeing the sudden gleam in the gloom Bilbo looked round. He gave a great cry: he had seen a sight that made his heart leap, dark shapes small yet majestic against the distant glow. “The Eagles! The Eagles!” he shouted. “The Eagles are coming!”

The Hobbit - Jemima Catlin It was late November 2010 Jemima received an exciting email from HarperCollins Publishers, asking if she would be interested in submitting some illustrations for a possible children’s edition of The H...

Incidentally this is a really lovely edition (link is for the illustrator's website) jemimacatlin.com/the-hobbit/

Thank you! ☺️ I donated the original to the German Tolkien Society back in 2020.

Happy Birthday to Tolkien (and two of my nephews!). 🥳 Here’s a portrait I painted of him a few years ago.

The Hobbit illustrated by Jemoma Catlin - this is the red slipcased special edition, with the slipcase on the right (red boards with a gold decorative pattern, and a white inset box with the title, author and illustrator information). On the left is the book, with red cloth boards and a gold foil Smaug dragon stamped on it taking up the entire front board (and continuing across the spine and rear board, not visible in this photo).

89. The Hobbit special edition, illustrated by the fantastic @jemimacatlin.bsky.social (HarperCollins, 2013) - signed by her at Oxonmoot that year. The illustrations are perfect, I recommend this to anyone planing to read to their children. Still in print (standard edition), if you want one!

The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkein. Tammi, 1973. Cover by Tove Jansson.

I'm a long-time fan of Jemina's illustrated Hobbit - it's different from a lot of the "standard" Tolkien artists, and works so well for the children's book it really is.

Here is an outtake from The Hobbit that wasn’t included in the book.
#TheHobbit #JRRTolkien

Pencil drawing of Gollum, squatting on a rock, a fish clutched in his right hand, and the skeleton of another fish at his feet.

Pencil drawing of Gollum, three fingers extended as he counts off his three guesses to the question of "What do I have in my pocket?"

Pencil drawing of Gollum, squatting low and leaning forward on his palms as he peers intently at the dark ground in front of him.

The magic ring is clearly a game-changer for Sam (and for Bilbo, let's be honest here). It adds an extra twist to the whole thing - Sam stays locked in through the daring escape first from Gollum & then from the Goblins.
Also, kudos to @jemimacatlin.bsky.social for a near-Lovcraftian Gollum

Thank you! 🤩

That’s lovely, thank you!
