• Mary Butler, on whose capable if occasionally weary shoulders rested the day-to-day burdens of Tolkien publishing, said to me: "Right, I want the door on the front cover and remember there's tons of copy on the back. No Bilbo please, and leave the door open."
• What can you reply to that? I sat down and got to work. Thank you Mary, it's become one of my happier pictures.
• I dutifully hauled out my copy of the Hobbit, with professor Tolkien's rendering of the front hall, and started sketching. I also own Switzerland's largest collection of books (five) on Norwegian medieval churches, and these were my principal inspiration. Some of the furniture is from our house, (and the seat on the left would be if only I could afford it) and the rest fell into place quite spontaneously.
• It's since become something you can actually walk into - in two scales, no less: human and hobbit - but that's entirely another subject.

To put it in a nutshell, there are four conditions for use of any of my imagery on a web site (not including of course photos by other persons; in that case their permission must be requested).

• 1. That the use be strictly non-commercial.
• 2. That the work be properly credited.
• 3. That a clear link to www.john-howe.com be provided.
• 4. Last but not least, that the use of the image be in accordance with the image itself. This is perhaps hard to make clear, but I would refuse, for example, use of one of my pictures to promote ideas, concepts or undertakings with which I disagree, or for which the image's prime purpose is only to attract attention to something entirely different.
