Added more images from the Das Grosse Amiga Jahrbuch 1987, including lots of page scans.
The book included a lot of famous images, which I had already added in other collections, but I've not been able to find any of the artsy or kids drawings.

I got the suggestion of adding an RSS feed to my site, so here it is:
Added a huge selection of color cycling images by Ken Costello. Some of them are simple experiments, others have really creative and intricate animations. Many created around 1986, when the Amiga was still brand new on the market.
I found several very old images by Jo-Anne Park, including some C64 versions, which also led me to her full name. She was already very active on the C64 and you can see the progression when she went on to the Amiga.
@metin did you see that psquaredish also did a quick analysis of Moon Child?

psquaredish has been using the Engine9000 debugger to analyze tricks and techniques that game developers used to create the astonishing effects that many Amiga games were known for.

Just found a variation of Sultan Krest's Blizzard color cycling image, this time as an autumn storm and probably the precursor to the blizzard.
Matt noticed, that the Nantucket Native is based on a photo of Samuel Beckett originally taken by Jane Brown, so I added it for direct comparison.
I found two lowres images by Henk Van Der Graaf, wo is mostly known for his spectacular hires images. These were included with the program Print-A-Card, probably without Henk's knowledge.

Today I have a nice image from legendary artist Rick Parks, who went on to join Westwood to work on titles like Eye of the Beholder and Legend of Kyrandia. He sadly left us way too soon.
