BYTE Cover Artist Gets Quizzed
Those VintageComputing.com chaps are at it again, and have posted an excellent interview with BYTE Magazine cover artists Robert Tinney, which OK, isn't _completely_ game-related, but is absolutely awesome anyhow.
As is noted: "As cover artist for over eighty issues of BYTE magazine — microcomputing’s first and finest major publication — and as one of the first men to illustrate topics related to the fledgling field of personal computers, he near single-handedly shaped the popular visual idiom of what computers were, could be, and would be for the for a whole generation of microcomputer enthusiasts."
As Tinney himself comments: "Magritte and Escher are two of my favorite artists, and fans have noticed their influence in many of the BYTE designs." I'd certainly love to own some originals of these.

Does anyone collect old BYTE signed covers?
