I talked with Marc Schirmeister last night. Turns out he wasn't tied up at FC as I thought he might. I hadn't been able to reach him because he was at his Grandfather's 103rd birthday (or some similar incredible age).
He was quite happy to have his stuff posted here. After reading him a few of the comments, I said I'd throw up some more.
This piece was done as a thank you to Ken Rosser (Kratsminsch to some of you). Ken and I provided the comuter system Schirm never used and eventually didn't work... sigh. Not only the hardware was doomed, so was the art. The original was lost in the mail and had to be completely re-done from xeroxes.

Heh, Schirm does some insanely fun and wacky stuff.
BTW, do you know if he ever went by a fan/pen name of Wolf Cram (or some similar spelling.) Back at AC 1999 or so someone grabbed my Song Lyrics sketchbook from someone who was working on it for me and they did a free surprise sketch to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" for me, signed with that name. Someone at the time said it might have been Schirm, but I didn't know him and didn't get a chance to meet up with him and ask/thank him about it.

Rolf Cram.
Yeah, for a while Schirm was denying he and Cram were the same guy, thinking he could pass himself off as another artist. But his style was unminstable and I didn't believe it for a minute. Later on he gave up and admited he and Cram were one and the same.
I've done the same mind you. Maybe I'll run some of *those* some time...

I'd have to snail mail it to him, since he's still non-digital, but yeah, he might be interested. Anything up to half a meg is okay, and less than 125k is probably a bit fuzzy. Mail to:
