BASIC PROGRAMMING BOX or MANUAL ARTWORK

[64738]

i am looking for the artist who designed the artwork on the box and the manual of the 2600 classic "BASIC PROGRAMMING". does anyone know where to find information about the artists that worked for ATARI back then, or does anyone know who actually made (painted) these pictures / this particular picture.

 

i have already contacted warren robinett, the programmer, personally, but he does not know who did the artwork for the box back then.

 

another big help would be a hi-res scan of the artwork. i would need it for educational purposes (it's about sci fi movie posters in the seventies)

 

i appreciate a lot your help, thank you in advance.

I'm not sure which forum this should go in (maybe Atari 2600), but definitely not Marketplace > Wanted (you don't really want to buy the artist, right?)

 

BTW, I'm fairly sure the same artist painted most or all of Atari's pre-crash game box/label art. His "trademark" is to include the sun (or possibly moon or a planet) in every one of his Atari works. Look for it!
