To be honest, I'd wanted to just quickly upload one of Giancola's pieces matching a "Here at the End of All Things"* series I'd like to get started, more or less reflecting my current level of shock, deep sadness, and growing fear about what's currently happening in the States. Unfortunately, image uploads don't seem to be working here at the moment, so all that will have to wait for another day. :S
* the series is themed to Sam & Frodo resting 'pon the slopes of Mt. Doom, awaiting the lava flow, not realising that giant eagles are coming to rescue them [you know]
On the positive tip, I'm quite chuffed to have recently discovered Donato Giancola's art! If I understand correctly, he's first-gen Italian-American, here covering this ultra-famous British series by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Without further ado, here're the art pieces & interview:

Now if you liked that, you might want to check out his other cool work, covering sci-fi, "empathetic robots," space, fantasy, historical realism, Game of Thrones, MTG, mythology and etc:
