I think BIG O publishing ripped him off also on the business end, it was either them or milk and honey. they also messed up a lot of the posters ( magenta tint was 5-15% over original, but was left to add a fantasy feel.Jim has always been a HUGE sci phi fan, artist, and great person with a very unique personality.he's TOO nice.lol.the painting you see here was done by jim hammerud, and it was based on the hobbit story. it was made with smaug in mind.Jim's brother, a scholar and teacher with 4 doctorate degrees always had thousands of books in the house growing up.sci-phi books were no exception. i remember reading the stories of the hobbit's when i was in elementary school surrounded by a huge room filled from floor to ceiling with books.literally.and that was just one room.lol.. this poster is getting hard to find, and should be kept in great condition.not sure how many big o still has. if anyone has questions regarding Jim or his work, you can find him on facebook or ask me. any questions about jim hammerud can be answered through me. he is my immediate family.

Personally if I had gone to see "Unexpected Journey" without reading the book, I would have wanted to read the end before seeing the next two movies.

I had since (mindlessly) donated it, and now would like to have it again to pass on to me Grandson, who loves to read, for his birthday this month. Is it available?
