Some might have already guessed it but none other than Alan Lee is the latest addition to the lineup for The Fellowship Festival:

We are proud to announce that Mr. Alan Lee, one of the world’s leading Tolkien Artists will be joining us at The Fellowship Festival from 28th-30th August 2004, at Alexandra Palace, London.

As all Tolkien fans out there will know, Alan illustrated the lavish anniversary edition of The Lord of The Rings. Alan also laboured on the New Zealand set of Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, The Lord of The Rings. As conceptual designer for the films, it was Alan’s job to create the distinctive “look” of Middle Earth.

Alan will be talking about his life and work in our Hall of Fire, along with meeting and signing for fans and attending the Fellowship Feast, the exclusive dinner for 90 fans and the cast and crew attending.

Most importantly, Alan, along with John Howe, the other conceptual artist who worked alongside Alan, will be the judges of the fan art competition.

Alan joins our other distinguished guests including:

Bernard Hill (King Theoden)

John Noble (Denethor)

Craig Parker (Haldir)

Bruce Hopkins (Gamling)

Sarah McLeod (Rosie Cotton)

Cameron Rhodes (Farmer Maggot)

Jorn Benzon (Rumil)
