Jadis and Her Sleigh, Part 3
The witch, in an unusual nostrils-up pose, pointing at an offscreen Edmund as if to say “And what, pray, are you?” as the dwarf pulls back the reins in surprise. A lot of action and attitude packed into one pic. Note the artist’s good use of black, white and red which differs from the usual …

The artist’s name is Ray Troll. He’s a native Alaskan known for his unique style and scientific accuracy of the …
A Few Substandard Hobbits

An aardvark? Who knows. …
