It's a day late n' a dollar short, but for future reference if
anyone's interested I'm willing to hook you up with higher quality
versions of the images here

exposure). I'm also willing to talk custom illustrations if you're
looking for something specific. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Cheers,
