Tim Hildebrandt

For millions of fans around the world, the Star Wars poster that Tim and Greg Hildebrandt created in 1977 became the definitive illustration of that galaxy far, far away. It’s an exciting, vibrant and unforgettable image that is even more astonishing when you realize that it was created in just 36 hours. While it’s only one of countless beautiful pieces of art that Tim created in his life — including hundreds of other inspired Star Wars illustrations — the Star Wars poster is truly iconic and will always loom large in the imagination. We will miss Tim’s artistry and talents tremendously.

Roger McGuinn

Very nice article in the Ledger on Roger McGuinn. He’s releasing a cd compilation of the songs he has released through his website. They are usually traditionals given the ‘McGuinn’ treatment ;). Once saw the guy live with Bob Dylan back in 1987 ! Very nice stuff indeed…

Computer Game Nostalgia


Ah found this link: Top 100 Amiga games. Probably an old one, but still true. Remember Supercars ? And ofcourse the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood on Monkey Island !

How did I get there ? Well I saw that Sid Meier is working on a remake of Railroad Tycoon. Hard to believe the original came out 16 years ago. Must be getting old ! Played the original to death. Think I might still have the original somewhere in a closet. Games sure have come a long way, since then, but thats mainly the graphics. Hard to find a game anymore that has such magical gameplay that kept you busy for hours / days on end. Hope the remake will turn out good, the gameplay should still be there…
