'''John Howe''' is a Canadian born illustrator living in Switzerland. He is best known for his work with J.R.R. Tolkien's worlds - both the original books and the movie adaptations by Peter Jackson.
Howe illustrated the original covers for the UK hardcover and paperback editions of the [[Farseer trilogy|Farseer]], [[Liveship Traders trilogy|Liveship Traders]], [[Tawny Man trilogy|Tawny Man]] and [[Soldier Son trilogy|Soldier Son]] trilogies. However, his art for [[Renegade's Magic]] was only used for the hardcover and large format ("trade") paperback, the normal-sized paperback was published with cover art by [[Jackie Morris]]. HarperCollins rereleased all the trilogies with new covers around the same time the RM paperback was published and chose to switch cover artist for the last book.

John Howe has published several books about fantasy art and drawing, of which the following are especially interesting to Robin Hobb's readers:
