This is a huge long shot, but I'm trying to trace a piece of art that was in a Dragon magazine, probably around 1987-89, probably Xmas time of year. I've scoured my PDFs of Dragons to no avail, as I know that the piece was a pullout on black card.
It was of a dragon, flaming, with a demon faced Santa riding its back. If anyone has a picture, or can find it, or can name the artist or give me a link, I'd be very very grateful

Cheers
Dave

Dragon #11 comes to mind but the guy driving the sleigh is Gygax.

This?

And Jason, I'm pretty sure it's Tim driving the sleigh in the Tramp Christmas piece, not Gary.

The number of choices with beards and glasses confused me. Is Gary the one sitting and leaning back in the middle?

Frank sir, you are a legend. Thank you!
That's the piece exactly... Is there a full sized picture anywhere? The link you added is for Todd Martens. Is that the artist as well? I'm guessing not, but just who posted the pic..

Hey Dave, that's Jeff Easley who did the original painting and then altered it for that Dragon magazine

In case this works, here's why I wanted to refind the original and artist.

Knowing its Jeff Easley makes me even more pleased and looking forward to the anticipated Acaeum art piece that's coming!

The first was on the back of TD as a Christmas greeting; I have the original on my wall; you can see it on my Facebook page with the other Tramp original that I have.

That's me driving, Jake reading, Gary looking back at ya', Tom Wham looking at Dave Sutherland falling/hanging onto the side, Tramp grabbing his hat, Rob K. bailing out with a chute, and that is Joe Orlowski's butt as he tumbles out, You should have recognized my cap which has now become sort of iconic.
