Last week I posted an article on the symbolism and artistic intents found within the iconic painting for Ultima IV, Quest of the Avatar (there's a lot).
On a whim I decided to send the article directly to the artist, Denis Loubet, who lives in Austin, Texas. I didn't expect a response.
@thomasfuchs Side note, I used to LOVE going to "The Marshall Store" in Point Reyes and having barbequed oysters there overlooking the water and beautiful natural scenery. One of the best chill things to do in that neck of the woods. Once did an epic bike ride with one of my best friends over there and we ended at The Marshall Store as a reward. Gorgeous place.
It's Rick Parks Admiration Day, again. No scanning; done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga.
- 1989 - 16 colors (!!) - Hires interlaced (NTSC) - How the F?
For those that don't know Rick's name, you likely know his work very well. He worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.
Rick died in 1996, 7 years after creating this image.
@thomasfuchs I would've thought that, too, but maybe this school just was strapped for $. I'll see if I can find the original source again but that's what the guy said. And those TVs!
@thomasfuchs I had it made. I’ve had a couple people ask me where to get them. I did a little Photoshopping and then used a print on demand service. I’m not sure how to “publish” that at the moment though.
Down side is I’m hesitant to actually STEP on it. Note to self, should door mats be *this* awesome? Maybe it should’ve been x.com’s lazy logo instead. ;)
