Lúthien Tinúviel and Beren

For all Tolkien fans, I bring you a gorgeous creation by my new family/artist extraordinaire, Jackie Musto! She gave Alex and I this stelliferous rendering of Lúthien Tinúviel and Beren as a wedding gift.

Jackie is also an amazing comic book artist and writer! You can check out the adventures of Kay, a girl whose best friend just happens to be a skeleton, at www.kayandp.com
