Still welcoming trades as part payment etc. Contact me directly if you have something (especially 1981 Bally games Eight ball deluxe, Centaur etc )

Description updated on the cabinet front. There is some minor fading towards the bottom of it which i didn't really notice before so its not completely unfaded, but it is an original cabinet not re-touched

Yep, that's exactly what I think. I much prefer an eye catching 2-colour cabinet stencil to a photographic montage decal. Nothing wrong with decals themselves but some of the photographic artwork on modern pins is just so... well... meh. I know I'm biased but as an example check out the original oil on canvas by Paul Farris that became the Paragon backglass:

can you explain that painting for me please?

ok i agree it's fantastic artwork, but i'm confused as to what is occurring. the chick is chained up and doesn't seem too bothered, she looks immaculately coiffured and has just noticed the lion-eagle-lizard but doesn't seem too bothered. she's thinking 'hmmm, should i have another valium and a mojito?'

riding on the back of the lieagzard is a muscly dude with batwings and a squint. he's wielding a sword, but it's unclear, to me at least, whether he's about to carve open his noble steed, or the chick in the blue bikini.

this all occurs at sunset by a waterfall, and the chick's position suggests she is bait - so is there someone else, waiting just out of frame, perhaps ..... i dunno, a topless dwarf eskimo-polar bear chimaera wearing a leotard and with a unicorn horn...... i'm intrigued.
 
Amazing! I'd never noticed all of that! I was too distracted by certain "features" ;)

I dunno? I guess the picture just has a lot of "oomph" and action. You're right, it makes no sense, but it's very atmospheric.

The thing is, it got your attention..! Most of the time that's all the matters. That is one cool bit of art though.

This one is as good, if not better.

OK, lets address this confusion . It's totally obvious when you think about it.

So the girl was chained up with her winged tiger lover, that was just part of foreplay. She was as happy as could be with the deal....with the big cat thing around, no-one dared check out her boobs, or point at her stretch marks. Happy days. Then down flies this green winged bearded chap. He swoops down from 1000ft (building up frightening speed on the way) before penetrating the tiger thing. Now I have cats, and I've seen the look on their faces when the vet takes their temperatures - my cat Jessy looks just like that tiger thing every time. Some sort of cross between absolute disgust and the sort of anger that only comes to the surface when I put out 'clumping' cat litter, instead of the 'non-clumping' variety she prefers..What we see here is simply the green-winged guy in the throes of sexual pleasure and a properly ****ed off pussy.
 
So the Viking dude is shagging the winged lion? I suppose that sword thing is really his back scratcher?

i suppose he is sorta turning Japanese - i really think so.

here's another thought, if the idea of bestiality leaves you cold, maybe - just maybe, there IS NO LION, and what we are looking at in the picture is just two people - bored bikini housewife, and half-human-half-inhuman creature? what if that's HIS feathered talon-like left leg on the treasure chest thingy, and HIS sinewy, paw-like right leg hovering above the skulls (two skulls, one spine? small enough to be infants? or one two-headed infant perchance? but then where are the legs, hmmm?).

maybe the lion-head thing is just his sporran, or a cock-ring, or his amusingly-coiffed pubic hair after a pejazzle? if we accept this version of events, then the Viking dude's vinegar strokes mean he's about to crash his yoghurt truck on the chick's back or in her barking spider.

ahem
 
Just to let you guys know, pretty sure he's riding a Chimera which is made up of a Lion, Snake, Goat and Griffin. I think the whole picture is just meant to scream "AWESOME!" and attract your attention to play the game haha.
 
I'm so pleased my post of the original PARAGON artwork has encouraged so many to think so deeply about the meaning of this extraordinary visual masterpiece. If we carry on spouting enough high-brow bullsh*t we'll end up with a spot on Radio 4.

Seriously, though, thanks everyone. You've really cheered up my Monday after at work.

LOL :rofl:
