A grand affair

"By some curious chance one morning long ago in the quiet of the world, when there was less noise and more green, and the hobbits were still numerous and prosperous, and Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast smoking an enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his wooly toes (neatly brushed) - Gandalf came by."

As a tribute to my favorite book of all time, I made this retro-esque sort of poster. I was inspired to use this style after seeing this work [link] by strongstuff [link]

This is the first project I have ever done using Illustrator, so I am pretty happy with it.
All the vectors are my own.
The background was done in Photoshop.

Programs used:
