This is a look at the Tolkien Collectables featuring the art of artist Darrell K. Sweet, it is not a look at their art in general.
Artist Darrell K. Sweet should not to be confused with the drummer from rock group Nazareth.
Sweet is not a specialist Tolkien artist and has done lots of other Fantasy paintings and Illustrations, however he did produce some significant Tolkien art in the 1980s which featured on book covers of US releases of Tolkien books and also did the 1982 Tolkien Calendar.
