Greetings everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. Just wanted to let you know that we've updated the website with some new artwork and will be posting more in the next couple of weeks - one of the new pieces can be seen on the homepage! Let us know what you think.

Also, we're running a little contest. Although Jim is notoriously elusive of the camera, we do have a picture of him on the website. The first one that can correctly identify which picture will win an autographed copy to the AD&D Monster Manual II - a book in which he did the vast majority of interior illustrations! Please be specific on illustration and location!

Here's the link again to start you off - www.jimhollowayart.com

Good luck, y'all!   :wink:

But, he did tell me which picture he was in and where he was located. That's all I can tell you!

Hum..seeing as how many old TSR employees now have white/grey beards..I'm going to say the Extreme Paranoia cover, he's wearing the smoky the bear type shirt.
Otherwise I give up...for now.

How about the guy who is standing right in front of the guy with the smokey the Bear Shirt with long blond hair?

Aside is that Erol Otus in the back round holding the candle and the other guy by the shirt?

Nope. The two people that you mentioned are employees of Mongoose, if I remember correctly.

High Lord Weiramon
or...

The long bearded star-hatted wizard from Paranoia: Flashbacks 2, maybe.

guess #1: Jim is the fellow with a hat, striped sweater, & glasses standing behind the orc. No wait a minute, that's Waldo.

guess #2: The site's background pattern contains an encrypted jpeg photo of Jim shaking hands with OJ Simpson.

guess #3: Jim doesn't exist in any single place, but is rather a universal life force which surrounds us all. In Jim we are all one.

guess #4: There is no Jim. Jim is nothing but a hoax perpetrated upon a society to jaded or unwilling to care.

guess #5: The hot chick in the vampire costume is Jim after a very special surgical procedure. He now prefers to be known as 'Jenny.'
