Larry Elmore just posted a note (on his latest book's Kickstarter page) about the new Kickstarter for Jeff Easley's book (kickstarter.com/projects/larryelmore/la ... ered_users).  In the note, he mentions " . . . the four of us from TSR that had books . . "

I am wondering which four TSR artists he is talking about.  Obviously himself, and I know about the Clyde Caldwell book(s).

Who are the other two TSR artists with published art books?

Should be Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell, Keith Parkinson, and Jeff Easley.

I found the Parkinson book(s) - thanks for that!

But Elmore seems to be saying that Easley is the fifth - so who could be the forth?

My good old buddy Jeff Easley is finally getting around to having a book. Out of the four of us from TSR that has had books, Jeff is the one that hasn't had one yet, until now.



I hope this is an off moment and not his standard coherence level.  :0


I think he meant Jeff is the 4th, but who knows...

After re-reading his post, I think you guys are right, Easley is four.

So I guess no hope of a secret Erol Otus or Trampier book nobody knew about . . . . .

For the early TSR artists, about the best you presently find that has some of their art is Art & Arcana: A Visual History.  TSR produced some art books, as well, but they mostly contain later artist's works.
