Tolkien Musing - Tim Kirk

Tim Kirk is a professional artist and one of the first specialist Tolkien artists. He is most famous in the Tolkien world for his art being featured in the very first Tolkien calendar in 1969 and also in the first official Tolkien calendar in 1975.

This is a look at the Tolkien collectables featuring the artist, not a look at their Tolkien art in general.
