    The 80s RAH art is outstanding and really iconic.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        Yeah, his work will always be loved and remembered. How to breathe life into "army men" with life, personality, and lots of color.

          Oh wow, I somehow never knew his name, but his influence on a generation is assured. Great packaging like that no doubt steered me into graphic design and marketing.

          RIP.
