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.
