Gildor Inglorion or Mihalis Roussos lives in Greece. Mihalis is Michael in English and Manveru in Quenya - as Gildor writes. His splendid artwork can be seen in the Elvish Linguistic Calendar too. See here.

Rúmil and small Fëanor

 

"... and maybe Rumil was inspired from an even older unrecorded system of the Noldor... So imagine his expression when he heard young Fenaor saying: 'Gah! distasteful writing system! Why writing from up to down whil we can write from left to right?'" (from the Elfling)
