Heck if I can find the box art thread, and that's after a fifteen page deep search! Anyway, Lawrence Fletcher, an artist who drew extremely detailed illustrations for the boxes and cart labels of many Vic Tokai games, passed away last month. Yes, he did the box art for Clash at Demonhead, turning Billy "Big Bang" Blitz into a muscular action film star with a flowing mullet, draped in chrome armor. Like his contemporaries Mick McGinty and Greg Martin, Lawrence brought a distinctly American, late 1980s sensibility to his illustrations of Japanese video games. However, in his free time, he would also draw surreal landscapes with flocks of airborne cities, held aloft with balloons and covered with dangling cables. You can see some of his work in the Twitter thread referenced at the top of this page.
