LotR gilded landscape sketch cards
Lots of experimentation went into these tiny Middle-earth landscapes. All of them have handmade borders made from pieces of filigree, and then gilded in gold or silver with a few tiny crystals.
All cards measure 2.5×3.5 inches. Stickers, cards and shiny things of them can be found here. :)
Erebor
Minas Tirith
The beacons are seen in Rohan…
Rivendell
For the ‘Shire’ card I went back to a technique I tried for the first time with a Star Wars set (for Topps here) but made even shinier with all the bright colours of Hobbiton. Crystal flakes, sequins, and individual bits of glitter were pressed into glass glaze.

LotR sepia sketch cards 2017
Each one measures 2.5×3.5 inches and is a mixture of acrylics and pencils, except for ‘Arwen’ which is heavily gilded in Dutch leaf and 22k gold leaf.
The Last Alliance
‘Cast it into the fire!’
‘Come and help an old man…’
‘We cannot get out…’

Magic School!
I drew this Hogwarts-inspired diagram years ago, as an aide for English classes to help students learn the names of rooms in a house. …And of course all houses have turrets and potion cupboards… But I like the drawing, so I gave it a sepia tint and put it on RedBubble for anyone who’d like a copy. Might also be fun for people who like colouring-in. ;)
Prints and other shiny things can be found here.

Gandalf & Frodo
‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo.
‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’
From The Fellowship of the Ring (chapter ‘Shadow of the Past’) by JRR Tolkien.
The famous words of comfort and wisdom spoken by Gandalf to Frodo (book version).
Pencil and acrylics on painted paper, 21×30 cms.

Gilded Snow White prints
In my Etsy shop now: hand-embellished fine art prints of Snow White and the Poisoned Apple, gilded with gold leaf.
See listing for more details.
And remember kids: an apple a day keeps the prince away. So maybe try pears instead.

If you found me at Comic Con Portugal… :D
For those of you whom I met in Porto last week, I was trying to explain what sketch cards are and give an idea of work I’ve done before. But it’s easier to show you. :)
Here’s a sample of sketches included with the trading card set for Topps & New Line Cinema Lord of the Rings:
There are more HERE and HERE.
‘No visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!’
‘Farewell, dear Bilbo’
‘Realm of the Lord Celeborn…’
‘This is no mine…’
Meduseld
‘Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind..’
‘City of Kings.’
‘Perhaps you’ve come to tell me why my son is dead..’
‘The dead do not suffer the living to pass.’
‘Do you not know death when you see it, old man?’
The Host rides to the Black Land
The White ship into the West.
‘…he’s known as Strider’
‘…forsaking the immortal life of your people’
‘Eowyn!’
..He is burning. Already burning!’
Parting gifts
‘Your son is badly wounded, my lord..’
‘There will be no dawn for Men.’
The lighting of the beacon
‘Let him go, you filth!’
‘I summon you to fulfil your oath!’
(Aragorn): ‘Fight for me and I will hold your oaths fulfilled! What say you?!’ ‘…We fight.’
The black-sailed ships
The town of Bree
‘Bring forth the Ring, Frodo’
Light in the dark
The Fellowship mourn
“Govannas vîn gwennen le, Haldir o Lórien.”
‘Namárië.’
‘The Pillars of the Kings!’
Frodo’s decision
The Black Gate is shut.
‘There is nothing for you here, only death.’
‘Leithio i philinn!’
‘Who enters my domain?’
The Dead Army swarm the enemy
‘I do not believe this darkness will endure.’
‘I can’t carry it for you…’
A long-awaited reunion.
.
And some of the sketches for various Star Wars sets for Topps and Lucasfilm :
There are (many) more here for the Empire Strikes Back, and here for the animated Clone Wars series (which I really enjoyed), and here for all the Star Wars things before the new movies.
Amidala stained glass miniature
Leia stained glass miniature
Han Solo stained glass miniature
And here’s a sample of the tarot cards (major arcana only) I was asked to make for the Penny Dreadful set, based on the themes & symbols of the show, but not using the actors’ likenesses.
You can see more about these particular cards HERE, there are many more which I still need to upload to my site!
