For George RR Martin Fans

[wellinghall]

From Ted Nasmith's blog:

"While not travelling to Europe, I've been busy doing my best to maintain a schedule of painting, and am busy these days working mostly on a series of castle depictions for a concordance to be published next year (by Dell Books/Random House) on the fantasy world in which the novels of George R.R. Martin are set. In Germany, during a slide presentation of mostly Tolkien artworks, I shared slides of two of the Martin works. I intend to post those and the two newest works here in the near future, I've decided. It is a wonderful project, and a refreshing (if temporary) departure from the Tolkien works. The latter continue as and when I can get to them, too, with a list of new works I'm committed to over the coming months."

I have friends who will be either ecstatic or deeply annoyed by this (they are mad for Martin but I don't know their opinions of Naismith). As for my opinion, they deserve each other, make of that what you will.

I continue to hold that Ted Nasmith rocks.

I have two of his signed prints, Rivendell and Minas Tirith at Dawn

Saw and heard Nasmith at the German Tolkien Society's summer get-together. He's not my favourite Tolkien artist, but I enjoyed seeing his paintings in the slide show.
