Title : Smaug Over Minas Morgul
Illustration by Jim Hammerud.
Big O Publishing 1979.
Let’s face it, it’s just a dragon and a castle and (apart from the title) has precious little relevance to Tolkien

…to give you a short background story…I own a clock that my parents bought the year I was born at a head shop. This particular piece of artwork is probably 4X3′ in diameter and features one of your works entitled “From Stormy Waters To Weary Skies”. I’ve loved this painting for as long as I remember but, unfortunately, I absolutely cannot find a copy of it to show to those not “in the know”. If you could get back to me with a link to this painting it would be greatly appreciated. However, if you wanna send me a print and charge me for it that’ll work as well. Bottom line is I LOVE that painting and would love nothing more than to show it off to some good people who may not ever get a chance to see it. My email is turbocoma at yahoo dot com and my # is 642=903-1682. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hmm… sorry Joshua I’m not sure I can help you - this is a poster that I’ve got - but I’m not the artist. As far as I can tell it’s by a guy called Jim Hammerud and was published by Big O Publishing in 1979. I’ve done a quick Google on the painting you mention, but no luck I’m afraid. Good luck with your search.
Hi I believe this painting was done by Jim Hammerud, He lived in San Mateo Calif. He is about 57 years old.
I have a print by Jim Hammerud. It is a fantasy castle in the woods. My brother says he bought it from the artist who told him that is was a fairy castle located near Booneville, CA. It is 20″X28″ signed and numbered 2-85. It is nicely framed. I would love to know if it is worth anything. Thanks
