Yesterday was a tough day. Although John’s health had been declining for some time and we knew this day would eventually come, the news still hit hard. Today I’d like to celebrate John’s life and the extraordinary body of work he leaves behind.
We would be grateful if you could post your favourite John Blanche artwork in the comments. It could be an iconic Warhammer piece, a White Dwarf cover, a sketch, an illustration from A Tolkien Bestiary, or something few people have seen before. Whatever it is, share it and tell us why it’s your favourite. John’s artwork inspired generations of artists, writers, gamers, and hobbyists. His unique vision helped define entire worlds and influenced countless creative journeys.
What many people may not know is that John was every bit as generous as he was talented. Even as his health declined, he continued to encourage others, support new projects, champion good causes, and take a genuine interest in the people around him.
So rather than dwell on the loss, let’s fill this thread with the incredible art that inspired us, amazed us, and helped shape our imaginations. Show us your favourite John Blanche piece.
