Hi Drassil, again thank you for replying to my original email and for your welcoming words to this forum.

Whilst I can't really comment on Ron's life and his work I thought I would post on what a small world it is and how nice it is to see common interests with other people.

When I started senior school at the beginning of the 80's I was introduced to a band called Hawkwind who have been around since the late 60's (and are still going!!). One of the associates of Hawkwind was a certain author called Michael Moorcock who I have just read Ron was a fan of. He (Moorcock) wrote several songs with them and indeed actually wrote two books based on the legend of "The Hawklords" giving each band member of the time a background in a fantasy world. Hawkwind also did a whole album and tour based on his books about Elric of Melnibone which Ron mentioned.

When I was given my sculpture a few years later I loved it's look and can imagine it appearing as a character from one or more of his books and I am sure Ron did too.

I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone but it just reasonated with me on how our likes are interlinked.

Stay safe and well to everyone.

Roger

Wow, thank you for such a prompt reply Canadenne. I was actually thinking it may have been too early as I have been a fan of fantasy since a very early age ane I remember watching Knightmare and enjoying it but not as a child.

It's not something I would want to get rid of as it was given to me by my girlfriend at the time and although we are not together we are still best friends aven after 36 odd years!

Keep well and safe.

Hi all, I realise that this thread has not been looked at for a long time (really long!) but it is a starting place for me to ask a question.

I was given a Ron Lyon sculpture as a present back in 1986-1987 and it is extremely similar to 2 I have seen pictures of online, I was wandering and hoping that if anyone sees this message they may be able to shed some light on the sculpture (i.e. is it from Knightmare. Possible value e.t.c).

I am going to attempt to insert a picture and look forward to hearing from you if you can help.

Thank you
