About Ted Nasmith

Ted Nasmith is best known as an illustrator of J. R. R. Tolkien's works —
The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. 

In 1972, Nasmith mailed photographs of some of his paintings to J. R. R.
Tolkien. Tolkien responded by letter a few weeks later, both praising the
work and making the comment that the rendition of Bilbo Baggins seemed a
little too childlike. Still a teenager at the time, this early feedback from
Tolkien encouraged Nasmith to strive for a more literal interpretation of
Tolkien's works.

Nasmith is also considered a Tolkien scholar, well-read in ancient history,
religion, and other areas. He is a prominent member of several
Tolkien-related organizations (such as The Tolkien Society, the Mythopoeic
Society, and Mensa's Beyond Bree).

Nasmith is a musician, guitarist and tenor. Much of his musical work is
likewise inspired by Tolkien's writings. His first commercial album, The
Hidden Door: Songs in the Key of Enchantment, was released in 2007. He has
also worked on a musical project entitled Beren and Lúthien: A Song Cycle,
with his friend Alex Lewis, and has a close friendship with the founders of
The Tolkien Ensemble.
