In my teenaged years (mid 80s), we had several D&D/fantasy/stoner posters hanging around our basement. I’ve been trying to track down some of the images from those posters, but one in particular eludes me:

It was a depiction of a small band of travelers in a Medeival/fantasy/D&D type wilderness. The travelers were all lounging around a campfire, not unlike something you might see on the cover of a “Dragon” magazine. Not especially dramatic, but upon looking closer, the band of travelers are clearly the band members of the Rolling Stones. I’ve been trying to locate that picture for a while now. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

And isn’t that a Big Benish (OK, Elizabethish) Tower in the background ?

Love Rodney Matthews. I used to have a book of his work. Check the forest behind them. There’s a used condom hanging across a vine.

Aside from being Fantasy, not related to the OP, but I love the poster – I have the old Ballantine editions of Lord of the Rings that used this as the cover. You used to see this on college walls all the time. I love that fact that’s it’s on one of the laboratory walls in the background in the movie **creator**.
