Art of Atari poster book release party.
Tip Lapetino asked me to bring some of my originals to help support the release of his new Art of Atari poster book.
The event was at the Logan Barcade in Chicago. Trip was 6+ hours for me but it was a lot of fun to meet others interested in seeing the things that I enjoy.

My heart is with the Berzerk piece.
Cool, what's the Taito piece back there?
No idea. It was covered with promotional material when I got there. There were some great games there. Including many of the newest pinball machines. Aerosmith etc.
For those of us who don't know atari as well, what are the pieces again?
Pic 2 - galaxian, berzerk, solaris
PIc 3 - atari scorepad promo art, cyberball, airworld
Pic 4 - is that... tempest on the left?
Did I get all those right?
what's your favorite one Adam? Is it the Cliff Spohn scorecard one? I remember you have a soft spot for that but then again there are some major covers there too.
I do have a soft spot for that piece. It was the last painting Cliff Spohn did for Atari.
Berzerk , Galaxian and Waterworld are up there too.
Ahhhhh I can't pick. I'll have to keep them all !
They look great Adam,

Solaris does use the same image but it was painted for Star Raiders.
An unreleased Cliff Spohn baseball painting is to the left of Berzerk.
Other than that everything looks correct.
I always liked the Bezerk art as well.

Definitely Tempest

It was unreleased so the image isn't as well known.
