About the artist(s)
A long time supporter of Talislanta, Ed has done quite a bit of fan artwork dating back to 1989. More often that not, he will ink the pieces, and then send them to his counterpart, Joseph Porrett, for coloring. His Zodar gallery is a prime example of this tag-team process. The works for which they are probably best known are the "Girls of Talislanta" pinups, works which to this day are infamous with the long-time Talislanta email list fans.
Other achievements by Ed Heil include linguistics work, put into the development of both the Chanan and Sawilan languages.
Joseph Porrett has gone through the trouble of creating a font of the Low Talislan script.
