The level of genius and talent this man possesses cannot be overstated. His work inspires me on a level few artists can.

Went along to see Alan do a talk/book signing at Waterstones Picadilly. Highlight of my year. Favourite purchase of the year. What an all-round great and talented guy. :)

I absolutely adore Alan Lee, but..."Yorge Louis Borges"? I've only studied Spanish for a few years, but I'm crying inside. Otherwise, the man seems to be an artistic and literary genius.

Mabinogion isn't English literature, it's Welsh literature.

He didn’t claim it was. If you want a full picture of English literature you need to know a bit about Welsh, Anglo Saxon, Norse, French etc.

@@Uppernorwood976 Yes he did: Friend studying English literature. He also mispronounces the names of the characters featured in the branches. Don't educate me on anything Welsh. I'm Welsh and speak it.

@@burntgod7165 I don't think it's his fault. More like whoever his friend's prof was who added it to the required reading list in an English lit course.

Pencils are probably a mix of 2B, 4B, 6B. Paper I'm not so sure, maybe 160 gsm and higher, and watercolour paper which has a great texture.
