I appreciate his vision in his work deeply. <br /><br />I remember when I was in my early teens and my mother looked at one of my sketchbooks and said she thought I had a style similar to Lee's drawing work. I didn't know who he was at the time. <br />She introduced me to his book "Castles", and from then on I was motivated by him first and foremost amongst the current illustrators that followed.MAIRIN-TAJ CAYAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365630534939584160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016283100987640046.post-57852843934095849812011-09-21T20:11:04.723-04:002011-09-21T20:11:04.723-04:00You've got Alan Lee's eyes just right - so...You've got Alan Lee's eyes just right - so wide and bright! Reminds me of Dominic mocking Elijah Wood's bright eyes in the special features.<br /><br />I actually think of Alan Lee's eyes sometimes, while walking, probably among trees, and I try to keep my own eyes wider and more attentive as long as I can manage. It makes me chuckle.Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560395287821324083noreply@blogger.com
