from Weta:
Hey Weta fans,
July — how on earth did that come around so fast? Comic-Con looms 22-26 July — a crazy busy time of the year for popculture and collectibles. We have been announcing all sorts of goodies over the last few weeks, and the most exciting so far is The Art of John Howe — Sculptures from Middle-earth, which we are hugely proud of. Get yourself a book signed by Alan Lee, who managed to sign a limited number of his Lord of the Rings Sketchbook when he had a book signing event at the Weta Cave recently. And believe you me — there will be plenty more very shortly! Enjoy!

Lord of the Rings Sketchbook — Signed by Alan Lee
Alan Lee, the Oscar-winning conceptual designer for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, discusses his approach to depicting Tolkien’s imaginary world. The book presents more than 150 of Lee’s celebrated illustrations to show how his imagery for both the illustrated Lord of the Rings and the films progressed from concept to finished art. In addition, the book contains 20 full-color plates and numerous examples of the conceptual art produced for Peter Jackson’s film adaptation. Alan signed a limited number of these for us at his recent book signing at the Weta Cave. Get your copy now!
