1000 followers (and counting)! Thank you all 😁 To celebrate, I will share something from my collection for every like this post gets. I’ll start things off with a special fanzine (by request) - I Palantir #1 (August 1960). The very first Tolkien specific fanzine!

Today is the one year anniversary of home.digitaltolkien.com and the 43rd anniversary of the publication of the first volume of the History of Middle-earth.

I never saw the forging of The One Ring as a triumphant moment for Sauron, but a gross miscalculation and a moment of humiliation. He splits himself and maims his fëa for power, and in return he gains the ultimate Achilles heel. #lordoftherings #ringsofpower #sauron #art

Last chance to pre-order our Verlyn Flieger documentary! The Stories That Come to Us offers a warm, at-home conversation with one of Tolkien studies’ great scholars, reflecting on her life, work, and the stories that have shaped them. Watch the 20 minute preview here: www.youtube.com/watc...

A few months ago I got to design the staff t-shirt for The Hobbit x MTG! I relished painting some of the pivotal characters and elements of the story. The stylization is inspired by Tolkien's own paintings, and I wanted it to look as though Bilbo had drawn these things in his book.

Our philosophy yesterday- “it’s always morning somewhere!”

LEOPARDS DO NOT JUST EAT ONE FACE.

I dont think younger people realize just how massively popular and culturally significant the Lord of the Rings books were in the 1970s in the USA. Millenials experienced but a fraction of this when the Peter Jackson trilogy released.

#OnThisDay in 1934, #Tolkien writes to David Nichol Smith. Tolkien sends his essay Chaucer as a Philologist: The Reeve's Tale, to David Nichol Smith. He hopes that Smith will be available to meet him before term starts. Tolkien described Chaucer as a Philologist as "laborious and clumsy"

Hey, folks - I wanted to take a moment to thank so very many of you for generously giving to my colleague and good friend, Katie. In case you missed it, though, Katie's been in a bit of a rough spot recently: her A/C is out and needs to be repaired,

I am so utterly thrilled with this, a 50th birthday gift to myself: the Awakening of the Elves on the shores of Cuiviénen, from Tolkien's Silmarillion. I trusted Amy to do something wonderful, and she really has. (She was incredibly patient with my excessive Tolkien lore dump for background, too.)
