About the item: Measuring approximately 4 by 5 1/2 inches, this note card features the work of legendary fantasy artist Darlene. It is blank on its back side, where the signature is, and the front and reverse of the note card are both shown in the scan. It is in nm/mint condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of Darlene. It is not a pre-printed image on the post card. About the artist: Artist/writer/calligrapher Darlene was a TSR artist during the games Golden Age, producing artwork in the late 70's and early 80's for the Dungeon Master's Guide, Deities Demigods, The Rogues Gallery, In Search of the Unknown, White Plume Mountain, Legends Lore, creatures for the Monsters Card Set 3, the cover to Dragon Magazine #37 (which also introduced her "Jasmine" adventure strip that ran in the magazine for the next year), and more. She is perhaps best known, however, as the calligrapher who created the maps for the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting in 1980. Over the course of the next four decades (for the entire lifespan of published Greyhawk material), Darlene's maps would continue to serve as the basis of all the Greyhawk maps that would follow by both TSR and Wizards of the Coast. This includes the Living Greyhawk Campaign (which had over a thousand adventures published that were enjoyed by tens of thousands of players). It ran from 2000 until Greyhawk's final year in 2008, when WotC discontinued publication of all new Greyhawk material). ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.
