        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Pretty clever, huh? Let’s 
          go in the Steed office and see what we can find. Here’s the work space 
          where I make those whacky models and read and compose those delightful 
          e-mails and posts…</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/desk1.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_desk1.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">…here’s where I view dreadful 
          demo reels and scan naked pictures from nudie magazines (oops, don’t 
          tell mom and dad about that one, now!)</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Looking over in the corner 
          and we find something Cool!</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Like My big tree? I carried 
          it myself from the furniture store next door. I also have a really bitchin’ 
          stereo with extra bass to thump the walls of even Club Antkow next door! 
          Look at the other side of my desk…</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">…A big comfortable couch 
          when I’m too tired or too drunk to drive home (it’s REEEAAALLLYY comfortable 
          boys and girls…) To the right of the couch we have some really cool 
          posters by Alex Ross and Steven Hanks…</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/room2.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_room2.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And here’s my chess set that 
          holds up the toughest little plant on the six floor (coz I don’t water 
          it until it’s about dead…)</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/chess.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_chess.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Of course if everyone at 
          work wasn’t so afraid to get their asses kicked, the board would see 
          some more action, but alas, they all are so afraid (sigh). Of course 
          they might be afraid of those big Scottish Claymores coming down on 
          their heads, too!</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ah, well. The poster I’m 
          most proud of in my office is the SIGNED Oscar Chichoni print I bagged 
          while still at Origin from that badass Italian himself – OC.</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/chichoni.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_chichoni.jpg" width="109" height="144" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Speaking of posters, here’s 
          the ‘Gen13’ Poster I got while visiting Jim Lee of Image Comics in San 
          Diego (Fairchild is almost as good as Janet, Woof!). Also check out 
          my dartboard, print of the ‘PC Powerplay’ poster I did the art for and 
          my snappy ‘Kingpin’ poster ala Greg and Drew.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Of course I have plenty of 
          reference to steal ideas from here on the bookshelf…</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/bookcase.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_bookcase.jpg" width="109" height="144" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">But more importantly, the 
          bookshelf is a place to line up my action figures! See how they all 
          play nicely? That Lara Croft action figure sure is the popular one with 
          the Spawn toys! She’s always bending over backwards to make the other 
          toys feel special! </font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/toys1.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_toys1.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Seems that Star Wars guy 
          needs a little help from that Hulk-Spawn, though. That’s okay, because 
          Boba Fett is pulling up in the 911 to help the guys out with their fun!</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So, what did you think of 
          my office, kids? Pretty fucking cool, huh? Wanna see the guys who pay 
          me? Okay! Let’s Go!</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here’s that shy, even-tempered 
          Kevin Cloud (artist/owner)…</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/kevin.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_kevin.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And that crazy, never-stops-talking, 
          heavily tattooed owner/artist Adrian Carmack hard at work…</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/adrian.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_adrian.jpg" width="105" height="65" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And Oh, LOOK! It’s Carmack! 
          John Carmack! WoooHooo!</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="images/john.php"><img src="images/thumbs/totb_john.jpg" width="144" height="109" border="1"></a></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So that’s it for the tour 
          today, kiddies. Come back next time and I won’t give my fellow workers 
          a reason to run in terror at the sight of me with a digital camera in 
          my hand, and possibly impart something useful to you!</font></p>
