Guestbook

My partner and I came to see you today in Wellington. Whilst others bought your new books to sign, you were sweet enough to sign our very battered and much read copy of The Mad Ship, which meant a lot to the both of us. We brought this book as it is our favourite of your peices, even before we learned the forground is actually part of Wellington harbour. We are thrilled with your original sketch of Althea and you put two fans so much at ease that we didn't realise till later how silly it sounded having you sign the book to our cat. It was a pleasure to meet you & you've inspired the both of us to get our own sketch pads out again. We'll be watching to see when your posters wil be available again & look forward to seeing your work in sculptures. Thank you again & all the best. Taby & Carrot

Gilakasla, (greetings)
I want to say "thank you" for your workshop books. I've been reading and re-reading them and they've helped me overcome some old roadblocks.

All the best of all the best to you.

I just wanted to say how much I admire John's artworks, I don't see them just as drawings but rather as frames opened on parallel worlds of dreams, fantasy and mysteries; unfortunately, I never managed to find a Lord of The Rings Trilogy's release illustrated by him, in France, I mean.
One more thing; will J.Howe work with Guillermo del Toro on "The Hobbit" movie?

Hello. I love all of your work. It gives me a guide through and around Middle Earth. So inspiring! I was wondering where I can find the artwork you did in The Return of the King credits. The ones with each actor's name with their picture beside it. Thanks!

For the last several months, I have been sending your artwork as e-cards to a dear friend (nicknamed Pippin) who has needed some encouragement. Thank you for making it available for such uses! It has blessed us both.
As an artist and Tolkien devotee, I enjoy your work. I especially love the sense of motion so many of your paintings have, like the one of Sam and Shelob and the ubiquitous but deservedly so one of Gandalf and the Balrog.

I hope to one day make it as big as you. You are a very admirable person, even though I have not seen you face-to-face. Thank you for publishing your lovely book and website 🙂

This time I just wanted to come by and leave a couple comments, so I chose to leave them in the guestbook:

First: I loved Lost Worlds. It was great, as is your custom. 😉

Second: Your eulogy for Holdstock was beautiful, quite touching. I have never read anything by him, but now I know I'll have to give it try.

i bought your book. The fantasy art workshop was a very inspiring read. I greatly identified with what you wrote.

ps.
The Rolling Harbour- what a neat idea

cheers.

Eres el mejor artista del mundo, realmente tu obra ha sido muy importante en mi vida, y espero alg&#xE0
