Probably not...), & that would limit PJ's creativity. I doubt he would want him around to hinder his 'interpretation' of the books.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Jackson used conceptual artists Howe and [darn I can't remember the other's name] to keep the sets and scenery true enough(and it was pretty flawless, I thought)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>John Howe & Alan Lee.
