Artist Remarques

Just thought I would start a thread about Artists Remarques - in case anyone wants to share or is otherwise interested. These by Ted Nasmith, of course:

These are great!

Also, as a side note, I checked with Ted to make sure he was ok with his unpublished remarques being posted here, and he is.

I'm of the opinion that remarques like this (and similarly sketches that Donato sells on his website and through social media from another recent thread) are pretty much expected to be shared on social media and ok to put here in this manner.

Just keep in mind that the artist still has the copyright and their permission is needed to republish the sketch they gave you for other uses. For example a remarque that Ted did for me in one of my books will be reproduced with his permission in the 2024 Beyond Bree calendar.

Those are gorgeous! I would love to have one done. Is there a process in place to have Mr Nasmith complete a remark?

Thanks for the comments folks! It is my understanding that you would need to approach Ted's agent for a remarque like this to be commissioned. It may be that these are no lomger available though (understandably really given the time involved in their creation, etc).

Urulókë: Yes, interesting what you say about copyright. Thanks for checking with Ted RE posting here.

From Ted's website, I assume this also covers remarques.

Original Art and Private Commissions

My original Tolkien paintings are available for sale through Alex Lewis. Alex is based in Shropshire, UK, and would be happy to handle your inquiry: [email protected]

If you are potentially interested in a private commission, I am available. As above, please contact Alex Lewis. He will discuss with you the pricing and timeline for the image you favour, and if you decide to proceed, I will provide updates via Alex throughout the process, including conception, thumbnails and drawings, and images of the final art as it progresses toward completion. This approach has proven highly popular, giving our clients insight into my creative process, and keeping them abreast of the development of their chosen subject. A recent example is Durin’s Crown and the Mirrormere (https://www.tednasmith.com/tolkien/dur ... rown-and-the-mirrormere/)
