Chinese artist Jian Guo prefers to create art of a science fiction nature, most notably the image we’ve shared depicting the events of The Hobbit. I turned my eye to the rest of his work and was speechless. I share with you some of my favorite pieces and urge you to become a fan. I sorely wish he’d do a piece on Norse mythology that I could buy, so perhaps I will pepper him with compliments and hints!

I am over-the-top-loopy-excited for “The Hobbit.”
I have loved Tolkien since I was a kid, I love Peter Jackson’s achievement of bringing Middle Earth to life, I love all the casting (I’m not a Martin Freeman-hater, he’s adorable and perfect for the title role), I love the craftsmanship that trickles down to every scuff on a goblin’s weapon…
….and I love Bag End (building my own tops my bucket list).
Ergo, it’s only natural I love these beautiful sepia-style prints that will be given out (in limited edition, naturally) to selected IMAX audiences at the midnight showing of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” Dec. 14.
Alas, I live in an “IMAX-less” town, but that won’t stop me from encouraging you all to get out there.

One of my favorite artists on DeviantArt is easily Zatransis. Why? Well, this Fun rendering of Calvin and Hobbes, done with excellent colors…
And what I imagine Two-Face feels deep down…
Some goofy Street Fighter art…
To cool monster designs…
And mother-effin’ Gandalf…
Zatransis has a style that reminds me of the cartoons of the 90’s and warms my heart. Check out his DeviantArt page here and give him some much deserved love. Just click HERE.
Behold the first in a series of art pieces revolving around the Doctor!
