While most Tolkien lovers have not heard of Anke Eißman yet, most of us have run across her artwork for sure. She was a guest artist at Tolkien 2005 in Birmingham; her artwork has been exhibited at German and British Tolkien Society events, seen in Ringers - Lord of the Fans, and can be seen in multiple Walking Tree publications.

She has a wonderful website (anke.edoras-art.de) and recently did the artwork for two fantastic Tolkien books: Roots and Branches and The Silmarillion - Thirty Years On, which are must reads!

This wonderful artist has been interviewed by Rowns and the interview can be found HERE.
