Have you met my friend Ted?…err, Herb
Oh, and Herb and I aren’t ‘friends’, no more than just connection ‘friends’ on Facebook. I hadn’t heard Herb Silvers name until a week or so ago when the Lock Ness pinball machine sold for over $20,000 on eBay and it was casually mentioned that Herb was a previous owner. It appears Herb has built completely custom pinball machines, is an expert enthusiast, and he has a killer photo album on Facebook of prototype and rare pinball machines that is a must see.

I have now, apparently. The Time Pilot 84 control panel artwork has a pretty tremendous star field, and each star itself takes very little time to draw, in fact, I think it takes less time to trace all of the stars than to isolate and build a complete raster star layer.

Own a Frenzy arcade game? A couple of questions for ya.

The “thrill” of printing – new repro project finally hits the press
Back in June of 2008 I finished the artwork for this “All Pro” game with no expectations on when it might actually be printed. Sounds like the time has come a little XOXO artwork will finally see the light.
Scanning artwork – “Further into the unknown”, Dun Dun Dah…
A classic game, a sequel from Konami, and finally – control panel artwork for this classic has been scanned and in the near future should be available at least as an inkjet reproduction.
NOS Stern Frenzy panel arrives
Just last night I got the astonishingly beautiful and well preserved NOS Frenzy control panel. Just wanted to write this short note as the beginning to the Frenzy control panel reproduction.
