• I have posted three new painting images on my website. These include “Cupid’s Bow”, a new image in my “Fairy Tales” gallery, plus “Mirkwood” and “At the Carrock”, both in my Tolkien gallery. You can see all of these by going to http://www.JefMurray.com and clicking on the “Newest Works” button on the top of the page.
• A Long Expected Party 2 (ALEP2) will be held this coming September in Shaker Village, Kentucky. For those of you who missed the original ALEP in 2008, please consider joining us this time ’round! This event is held in perhaps the most “Shire-like” place in the US, and we expect the camaraderie and fun enjoyed in 2008 will be a welcome respite from the world’s woes. For more information, and to book your place in the festivities, see www.alep2.us.
• Related to the above, the first ever Jef Murray/ALEP2 Fantasy Calendar is available! This 2012 calendar is loaded with painting images from Middle-earth, and it is being published in support of the ALEP2 (A Long Expected Party 2) gathering of Tolkien fans in Kentucky in September (see www.alep2.us). You can order your copy at www.JefMurray.com
