Someone just asked me who did the cover art for ST#7 but I didn't recognize the sig on the cover page and couldn't find a credit for the cover artist (even in the wiki!).

Does anyone know who did the cover art of the war elephant?

I wonder if it is David Sutherland? It sort of looks similar to some of the early art pieces he did. Although, later works he had the signature 'DCS'. There does seem be a stylized 'DS' under the elephant's back left foot.

That was a picture that was used in Classic Warfare (back cover).
All of the art in that book is attributed to Greg Bell and Mimi Roach. All of Bell's stuff has his name, the rest have that odd initial thingy; by elimination, that must be Mimi.

The only thing I remember about her is that Gary knew her, and encouraged her to send some stuff to me for that book. I am pretty sure that we never met f-t-f.

I tried Googling her, to no avail. She might have been from the Chicago area, or possibly the Twin Cities. There is an outside chance that Rob might know her, or at least who she was.

Thanks! That turned out to be an extremely esoteric bit of information. I passed it along and it was much appreciated.

No problemo, Jason. I am all about esoteric. (You could have just asked me, tho. I took over with SR 5.)
