THE LORD OF THE RINGS Poster Art "The Legend Comes To Life" By Artist Stephen Andrade — GeekTyrant
Hero Complex Gallery teamed up with artist Stephen Andrade to create this beautiful poster art for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring . This poster debuted at Comic-Con, and I loved it so much, I went ahead and bought a print for myself! If your a fan of these epic fantasy films, this is a must have! For me, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is pure cinematic magic. From the moment Howard Shore's score swells and Middle-earth comes alive on screen, I'm transported into a world that feels impossibly vast. The landscapes are breathtaking, the characters unforgettable, and the stakes incredibly high. This is a story about friendship, courage, and the resilience to fight against overwhelming darkness. Every frame feels like it was crafted with love and reverence for Tolkien's work, and the blend of practical effects, groundbreaking CGI, and heartfelt performances makes it one of the most immersive fantasy films ever made. Watching it, I feel like I'm on the journey with the Fellowship, sharing in their triumphs, heartbreaks, and quiet moments of hope. This is a limited edition print of 175 and you can click here to get yourself a 24x36 print for $75 or a 15x24 for $50.

Coach Outlet is selling a fall-ready shoulder bag that 'will hold everything you need' — it's usually $670 but it's on sale for $319 right now
"This bag is everything you could ever imagine!" — plus 7 other really good Coach Outlet deals to shop. If you've been waiting for the right moment to splurge on a designer bag, now might be the time. Coach Outlet has some pretty stellar deals right now, including 52 per cent off the gorgeous Laurel Large Shoulder Bag. Quick shop: Originally $670, the Laurel Large Shoulder Bag With Mirror Charm And Pouch is now on sale for $319, which makes it a total steal if you've been eyeing something versatile and elevated. It's a classic piece that works for everyday use yet still feels polished enough to elevate an outfit. And if the Laurel isn't quite your style, don't worry — there are tons of other discounted picks to check out, from crossbody bags and totes to wallets and other accessories. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for a gift, the sale section at Coach Outlet is jam-packed with finds that are functional, stylish and surprisingly affordable. The details The durable pebbled leather gives the Laurel Large Shoulder Bag a polished look that will remain intact over time, while the silver hardware adds a bit of shine without looking too fancy. It's roomy enough for all your daily essentials without being bulky, while the structured shape keeps it looking pulled together. The inside features a zip pocket and a multifunction pocket to help keep your belongings organized, and the magnetic snap closure makes it easy to grab what you need without fumbling. It also comes with two detachable options: an 8.5-inch drop handle for shoulder wear and a 22-inch strap so you can switch it up and wear it as a crossbody bag when you're on the go. The Laurel Large Shoulder Bag comes in 10 colours, so you've got plenty of options, whatever your style may be. What reviewers are saying 👜 190+ reviews ⭐ 4.9/5 stars 🏅"This bag is everything you could ever imagine! It literally will hold everything you need!" The Laurel Large Shoulder Bag has 92 per cent of shoppers giving it a five-star rating. One person said it's the "perfect size" and boasts the "perfect drop level." "The pebbled leather is durable and can withstand drink and snack spills that come with being a busy mom," wrote another. They also said, "I love the shoulder strap, it fits perfectly and allows the top of the bag to slouch a bit." A third person raved about it being "a very spacious bag that holds a lot of items." "After a week of carrying it the leather has softened and 'moulded' to my liking," they continued. Someone else deemed it a "great everyday work bag." However, one person did point out that "the long shoulder strap keeps coming undone from the side clip." Another echoed that, stating, "Both of the straps have unhooked as I was carrying the purse." The verdict If you're looking for a stylish, very roomy bag for everyday use, the Laurel Large Shoulder Bag is a great fit. It's chic, functional and versatile, with removable straps that allow you to use it as both a shoulder and crossbody bag. That being said, if you tend to be a little tougher on your bags, this one might not be the best match — the straps can come undone if you're not careful, so it's something to keep in mind. And if this one is a little too large for you, the original (and slightly smaller) version is also on sale for 45 per cent off right now. 7 other really good deals to shop from Coach Outlet
