Wow, great post by Louis,


and many people mistake me for Louis Theroux!

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Theroux has a unique perspective on the man and said it wonderfully - very, very interesting read cheers for posting that Pops.

David Trampier, for me, one of the definitive artists in D&D's early years...

Cheers

Trampier was THE D&D artist for me, such a fabulous sense of design, each monster and party like a little cartouche.  His DM's screen was the single most influential D&D product I ever bought, his tone-setting images the only constant in hundreds of hours of play.  Even when I ran things other than D&D I just bluetacked the relevant tables inside it.

Bloody hell... he was only 60... that's really no age at all

I spent HOURS pouring over Trampler's drawings. They brought worlds alive for me. He'll be missed. RIP.

I wouldn't have known his name but those b/w images are seared on my consciousness and I often tried to copy them as a teenager. RIP

Snap. One of them 'I know that artist!' Types who you respect without being aware of who they truly are. RIP

It sounds as though Tramp, like a few of the early D&D pioneers, led a pretty troubled life, and his disappearance is pretty much now part of the legend. Very saddened to read this - he was a master.

Very sad news about David Trampier -the PH cover is one of the most fabulous and iconic illustrations for me.

And he also drew some of the very best beasties in the MM. There's nothing like those old manuels.

Indeed. A sore loss. His Pit Fiend is still one of my favourite illustrations even now. So evil looking.

Which makes him responsible for forming my early preferences in fiction and the way my brain still works to this day. Sounds like he must have enjoyed a comfortable retirement in the California sunshine, which is something I wish could say for all of the writers and artists who entertained me in childhood and adolescence. He worked on The Parallax View, Papillon, and Three Days of the Condor too!
