As we move closer to the exhibit, we're able to get more and more sneak peeks from our talented artists! Here is the latest contribution from the talented Allen Douglas .   Educated at Syracuse University, Allen has been freelancing for the last 18 years for editorial and book publishing clients ranging from Random House, Scholastic, to Wizards of the Coast and Realms of Fantasy. 

This piece, entitled "Flies on Spiders" came from a very specific passage in The Hobbit story.  Maybe some of you remember...

"Somehow the killing of the giant spider, all alone by himself in the dark without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, made a great difference to Mr. Baggins. He felt a different person, and much fiercer and bolder in spite of an empty stomach, as he wiped his sword on the grass and put it back into its sheath.

'I will give you a name,' he said to it, 'and I shall call you Sting.' " - J.R.R. Tolkien
