Ted Nasmith

Ted Nasmith of Ontario, Canada, is a well known illustrator of JRR Tolkien, publications which mainly include calendars (the earliest being from 1987) as well as the illustrated Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. His love of drawing goes back to his childhood, until this ‘habit’ got the proper boost it needed in high school, and the commercial arts program he was admitted into at age 14. His art credits cover a range of illustration genres, including architectural rendering (apprenticed at 17), educational, advertising and automotive. Within fantasy, his art has graced the works of several other authors, especially a deluxe illustrated edition of George R.R. Martin’s epic A Game of Thrones. Currently he is executing an open ended series of private commissions.
