A Freetrader returns fire against pirates. This is one of the pen and ink drawings I did for the Traveller RPG in the 80's. In a fit of nostalgia I've been going through some of my old stuff, and decided to post a few of what I think are the best.

Pen and ink on Strathmore Bristol Board (gasp!)

Thanks for having a look!

Wonderful! - Damme, I remember this illustration.

The RPG world is all the richer for you having been a part of it.

Loving all the old Traveller art....it was a game that sorely lacked visuals, but you made a huge impact. So many times I've heard from my players..."oh so THAT's what it looks like!"

Superb work, and glad to be able to find you here and thank you!

i remeber seeing this in the day - as good now as it was then. Love the composition, and the action in this pic.

Complete and total classic, and always nice to see traditional, hand-drawn illustrations in this age of digital. :)

I still have my 1982 hardcover copy of Traveller from GDW, and amazingly it's still in near-mint condition. Yup, I'm that old, too ;)

"Chew on this, you leech."

Awesome pen and ink!

My MegaTraveller stuff is strewn across a card table behind me. Been bashing together early space tech ships for my own vision of Traveller's history and future.
