Mark,

No overlay has been made. What is on my game is an inkjet printout on
premium glossy photo paper from my Epson 1280.

The artwork looks pretty good if you don't look at it closely. But it still
needed more work by someone who is a more talented graphic artist than
myself.

As for Steven Gregory making any overlays for us as a favor, I'm not aware
of Steven Gregory owing me any favors. Maybe he owes you :-). I ran these
overlays by him at one point and he declined. I've ran them past several
people and either they weren't interested or the process was too expensive.
But David seemed to think Joe could do it. May want to bring up the
prospect of Steven doing 10 of them to David, since I haven't heard anything
from Joe's camp. Seems like any attempts to get an actual overlay made
always ends up at a dead end. After a few years of trying to get an overlay
made, I finally settled on an inkjet, and decided to wash my hands of the
entire Cosmic Chasm overlay project. I owed David an overlay, if one was
ever made, from a previous deal, so I gave over all the artwork I did
instead so that he could make an overlay to his level of satisfaction.

All further inquires about the CC overlay may be directed to him.

PS. I found your email about someone making them and to send you the
artwork; the CC deal with David was ongoing at that time and probably the
reason I didn't send it to you. I'm sure David would be fine with working
with you on this as he was just as hopeful to get an overlay made as all
Cosmic Chasm owners are.
