Wendy from Dreamish.com writes: A couple of months ago, I happened to visit the website of artist, Ted Nasmith. I browsed through his online art gallery and simply love his work! Then I noticed that one of the soft cover books I have, The Hobbit, has his beautiful Tolkien artwork on the cover. I wrote him to see if he would like to do an interview and share his story. He was so sweet and even during his busy time, has agreed to. [More]
