Wow. Someone else likes Karl Waller. I am not alone. What SR books has
he had his work in? Now that you have mentioned him, does anybody know if
there is a website that has a decent amount of his work for viewing? I have
not seen his art for a bit now.

Karl Waller *rocks*. He did some illos in Corp Security Handbook, and he
did quite a few cards for the Shadowrun Trading Card Game.

Definitely one of my fave artists, though I think my favourite-ever SR pic
has to be the Bradstreet 'happy gunner' near the start of the SR2 main
rules. ;-)

I first saw Karl's work in the AD&D Arms and Equipment Guide (Ack!
Pthooey!). I believe both he and his brother did pics for that, but I
haven't had it for years, so I'm not sure. Even then I was impressed.
Then I saw him a number of years later in Shadowrun and I was in
looooove. :)

Anyway, he's done quite a few of the "middle years" books - mostly, if
not all, 2nd edition. Off the top of my head, I believe he has work in
the Corp Security Handbook, Tir Tairngire and Tir na nOg, Corporate
Shadowfiles and Prime Runners. There are others, but I can't remember
them all.

And I'm afraid I don't know of any website. Ever since FASA
(apparently) stopped buying his pics, I haven't seen his work anywhere
(admittedly, I don't buy many systems besides Shadowrun).

Karl Waller indeed rocks. My first sighting of his work was in the adnd
game. I have never seen the shadowrun tcg - now I want to see it for the
artwork alone. Overall, I like the art produced for the shadowrun game. I
also like Janet Ausilio's (sp?) style.

I have that game product, and have kept it for the art alone. Silly,
but I like it that much.

Thanks for the update. I will have to track these products down and
take a look.

No website, eh? Sigh. I have not found one either.

I appreciate the feedback from all.

I have so many imperfections that I am perfectly imperfect (or, as my
friends like to tell me over and over again, there is no hope for me). I
still like her, though. <grin>
