This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Holloway is brilliant, I love the Paranoia stuff but his Gangbusters art is also incredibly funny, definitely worth a bit of love.

Quote from: SettembriniDidn´t he also make some of the old battletech artwork?

Yeah, he did some BattleTech work, including the paper stand-up illos in the first boxed set.

I always loved that pic for capturing the quintessential "we're in deep shit now how are we going to get out of it" moment that typified so many Traveller games.

Yes, and shame on me for forgetting.

Quote from: beeberdoes holloway have his own website?  or raupp?

love seeing the old illustrations again.  they take me back to the good part of my high school memories.

jim's stuff personified "paranoia" for me back then.

Just happened to stumble across this thread! Great one at that too! Jim now has his own website //www.jimhollowayart.com . Check it out when you have the time and let us know if there is anything we can do (i.e. - posting certain pics, questions, etc.).  Also, I'm going to send this link to Jim. I'm sure he would love to see this!! ;)

Quick, cue up, "Nobody Does it Better" by Carly Simon!

Seriously.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

I'm happy to see Holloway working on RPG stuff like Goodman's DCCs and Pied Pier Publishing modules. It'd be nice to see even more of his work in d20/OGL products. For that matter, I'd pay for a collection of his work, or maybe a book of new art illustrating monsters and character types or even "scenes" from classic adventures (I mean, really, if they aren't specifically labeled that they're illustrating something from, say, "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks," what harm could it do?).

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

the cover of mechwarrior (maybe 1st ed.) was awesome.  cockpit view, wasting a rifleman, with a photo and cigarette butts all over.  suddenly the battle seemed more human. . . .

He is looking into putting together an art book of the new and the old. I'm pretty sure that all of the old artwork reverts back to the property of the artist after "so many years" (don't quote me on that), so I don't think redoing artwork would be a problem. In fact, Jim is currently redoing some of the old Dragon covers at the moment. He's always looking for suggestions!

Any of you guys have scans of some of the Battletech, Mechwarrior, Robotech? I have a few, but always looking for more! Thanks! (I'm the website monkey :D ).

Thought you all would like to see what Jim has been up to! Here's the updated version of the Dragon #178 cover. He states that he still has a couple of things to finish off (i.e. - shading, snow/ice). Check out the link to compare!
