One of my favorite illustration artists is Alan Lee.

I discovered his work in my teens, when a (boy)friend showed me the book ‘Faeries’, which Alan Lee illustrated along with another one of my favorite artists, Brian Froud.

At first I was constantly going back to Froud’s work, intrigued by his depiction of pixies, fairies and goblins. In time, though, Alan Lee’s work grew on me.
