Following the successful series of art prints from both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Weta Workshop is making another beautiful print available to collectors. The second print in The Hobbit art print series takes us to one of the most memorable moments in the story: the Riddles in the Dark sequence between Bilbo and Gollum. The print is priced at $50 U.S. and will ship shortly after purchase. Be sure to order today so you can have this before The Hobbit opens in early December.

As the premiere of “The Hobbit: and Unexpected Journey” draws closer, we continue to get more information on what will certainly be one of the coolest items associated with the movie: today we have a third teaser image from artiste Jerry Vanderstelt. In this teaser image we get a glimpse of the three Trolls Bert, Tom, and William. The image also includes a shot of some of the Dwarves and of Bilbo running to catch up with them after they’ve left Bag End. Here is what Jerry has to say about teaser number three:

“Well, it’s another week of painting on the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey artwork, and It’s getting pretty close now to a finish. For now, here is my third little teaser approved by Warner Brothers. This one shows just a small corner of the art with the three trolls, Bert Tom and Bill. Enjoy!”

 

Just the other day we were lucky enough to get the first teaser image from artist Jerry Vanderstelt’s upcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Fine Art Prints. The first teaser image had a a couple of wizards with Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown. Tonight, we see three more familiar faces: Saruman, Elrond, and a fantastic shot of Galadriel.

Jerry also has a statement he wanted to pass on to fans of Middle-Earth:

“Hello fellow Middle Earth fans, Jerry VanderStelt here. As some of you know, I am a Licensed artist with New Line Cinema and Warner Brothers studios in the creation of the Lord of the Rings art reproductions. Now, I have expanded my fine art program to include The Hobbit!

My first Hobbit art piece is a montage that encapsulates key moments, characters and locations seen in the first film. After that, I plan to continue exploring new pieces that focus on either beautiful landscape scenery, character-centric pieces, or specific characters or groups of characters in various environments.

I hope to have my first Hobbit piece out of the gate by the Dec.14 in time for the film’s release. Soon, I’ll be announcing the pricing and sizing as well as the different edition options I plan to offer here in this thread. Feel free to ask any questions that may come up as we go along!”

Like his amazing art prints based on The Lord of the Rings these prints will be sure to capture what we all expect to be a couple of truly fantastic films. There is also news for those that collect his superb art work based on The Lord of the Rings, and here’s a hint to what is coming next:  Durin’s Bane has been found.
