Dear Teen MeDear Teen Me,

Yes, you there.

You in the horn-rimmed glasses in your stupid millwheel hat. You knew you’d look totally dumb wearing that to a carnival party, didn’t you? And now you sit there hating the music, hating the people who dragged you there, hating your hair, your figure, your baggy tapered jeans and most of all your glasses. Yes, I know all that. I remember the whole damn evening, when they seemed to play nothing but Salt’n’Pepa, Rozalla and KLF. What did you think they’d play, Paul McCartney, or Elvis Costello? What did you expect the boys would do – would they suddenly notice you with that mil

Finally Done!

One half of a commission for Becky Dillon. Lúthien:

From The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Note: The tartan cloth is not exclusively Scottish. It was worn by many peoples on the British isles, Germanic and Celtic alike, and I chose that look to denote a rather less civilised look of Men in the First Age.

Please "like" my Facebook page if you like my work! :) [link]

My blog: [link] (I have a print sale running until tomorrow! Hurry if you want a print at 20% off!)

Prints of this - and its companion piece - will be available soon.

Liquid watercolours on Canson Montval paper, 30x50 cm.

He looks like a hero should, while remaining a man (hope that makes sense).

I think the more primitive clothing is very appropriate for the person and setting. Good call.

It accords very well with the picture of Luthien, I love these Beren!

Well, I am the author of the novel mentioned below, and I was very much loathed by Russian Tolkien fandom puritans for making Beoreans wear tartan.

Now I see I am not alone! Whoopee!

There's a fan Silmarillion novel in Russian (a very good one that was even actually published), where Beren also dons a tartan cloak. Guess the idea's been flying around. ;)

It's a very European, and a very "old days" idea - not that far away from the Elder Days. :)
