The Swamp
"Every single screen was hand- drawn by Paul Drummond's small artistic department and really showed off what the Amiga was capable of when used properly."
- Retro Gamer Magazine Volume Two, Issue Four.
The art you're about to enjoy was developed by Paul Drummond (lead artist), Kevin Preston (who hand-drew the character art and animation for the game), Maria Drummond, Jeff Wall, and Karen Pinchin in 1992 and earlier, for the game Simon The Sorcerer. This absolutely beautiful art deserves to be remembered, hence this humble gallery. The unprecedented widescreen images on this site were composed of multiple scenes of the game stitched together, and Simon was manually removed from each.

About Me
It was 1994 when I played Simon The Sorcerer for the first time. Being my first year in college, I was not that much older than Simon himself. After crossing the main gates of the citadel I was immediately hooked by the gorgeous forest and the perfect match with the game music. This game would become my favorite of all times. Seventeen years later in 2011, I came up with the idea of stitching some of these images so I could print them as posters. This website brings these beautiful panoramas I had stored for so long back to life, in their full glory. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
