Mini linoprint

Here's the first print for book two! I've decided to start book two with Rivendell, simply because it made the most sense with wanting to make 9 prints per book and the sketches I had already made.

“It really is a battle about what it means to be king. It’s honour. It’s honouring the legacy of his people. And it’s not doing a dirty deal with him for some stones in order to give you your liberty. And when you say that to him, you strike a nerve. You strike a nerve, because there is some truth in what you say.”

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) dir. Peter Jackson
