Dancing bears

A site collecting Tove Jansson's illustrations for The Hobbit. How cool is that? I wish she'd done Earthsea too.

Nice. I especially liked Gollum, though for a moment I wondered if I was seeing Thranduil a la Bakshi.

Oh my. How utterly lovely.

I think I like The Bridge to Rivendell best.

Oh, wow, those are really wonderful. Some great ones of the dragon there. I must make myself Tove Jansson icons.

I like the idea of Ged-as-Snufkin.

Tove pwnz. I don't know if Tolkien ever saw her stuff, but being a geek about Finland he would probably have loved it.

Oh, how wonderful, thank you! So many beautiful and adorable things there; possibly the most striking thing, though, was the figures in Mirkwood. A lovely collection.

I missed out on Tove Jansson completely, and it sounds like I really did miss something there. I must say, though, that in the picture of Bilbo and one of the Mirkwood spiders, the spider looks rather more amiable than I pictured. More like it would invite you in for a hospitable cup of tea than to be a dinner ingredient...

Those are great! I'd never seen those before. I particularly like the dreamy Laketown picture, and the elves rolling the barrels into the water.
