Interviews & Inklings - Exciting Times!

[jef.m...@gmail.com]

Greetings!

Well, it never rains but it pours! Here are a couple of news items
that I thought folks would like to know about. Information about both
of these is also posted on my website at http://www.JefMurray.com :

- The Tolkien Library (http://www.TolkienLibrary) has just posted an
extensive interview that Pieter Collier and I had on the development
of
the illustrations for "Black & White Ogre Country: The Lost Tales of
Hilary
Tolkien". You can read the interview, which also includes a few of the
illustrations from the book, at:
http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/858-Black_and_White_Ogre_Counrty.php

- The second issue of Silver Leaves, the journal of the White Tree
Fund (see http://www.whitetreefund.org/ ) is now out. It focuses on
the Inklings, and somewhat more specifically on C.S. Lewis than the
other members of that august society. The editors of the journal
kindly used several of my Narnia-inspired paintings to complement the
other illustrations in the issue. Please take a look!

My February newsletter should also be out in a week or so, and
there should be some additional newsworthy items included in it!
