Is that second drawing from the Time Life book on Wizards that came out in the 1980s? It looks really familiar.

No, but it was in a Dragonlance calendar from the 1980s, from which I cut it out and slipped into a brown three-ring binder I used to collect notes from my high school Dragonlance campaign. That's probably where you've seen the picture.

Also, on the shelf behind the wizard you can plainly see that Keith painted in the T.A.R.D.I.S., so you know he had excellent taste.

I really wish I had a chance to work with Keith. He'll be missed.

That must be it. I remember the T.A.R.D.I.S.
