It was great to see Marc yet another year with updates. He even sent me home with a print for my daughter! Back then with out the internet, Box art made kids buy the games. It was more important than ever, since it really sold it to us back in the 80's. A free lance illustrator working out of San Francisco, commissioned to produce cover art and peripheral art for nearly 80 titles by every major software company involved in video gaming during the eighties and nineties. Clients included Atari, Broderbund, HESware, Activision, SNK, SSI, Sega Genesis, Tronix, Electronic Arts, Capcom, Data East, and many more. Also produced cover art for Choplifter, Afterburner, Galaga, G-Loc, POW: Prisoner of War, Guerrilla War, Atomic Runner, Bermuda Triangle, and over seventy others.
