Josh Mandel from “Ringers” writes: We are trying to find out who the fan artist is who created this ringwraith drawing. This image was found at the Rolozo Tolkien website. I already contacted the webmaster, but he does not have any current information for the artist. We really want to keep it in the film. Unfortunately, the website that has this image only lists the artist as “Scott K”. There is no last name. Furthermore, the email address that is listed is no longer active. Is there any way to post on TORN and ask who it is that created this drawing so that we can give them the opportunity to join the ranks of other fan artists that we are featuring in “Ringers?”
