Jeff Dee, who produced by favorite illustration of a halfling ever (the buff little bastard in Moldvay's Basic) and an image of Thor that could almost turn me into a full-fledged pagan, is undertaking to recreate all of the art he did for TSR, beginning with his illustrations for the Egyptian mythos in Deities and Demigods.
