click to enlarge	Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, CANADA Kevin has been an active pinball player since his youth, starting with hundreds of quarters being pumped into machines at campgrounds during family camping trips when he was a child. Today, the only machines Kevin distinctly remembers playing in his youth were Flight 2000 and Black Hole, when he was 8 years old. Going through a "non-pin" phase in junior and senior high school, Kevin returned to pin playing in university, and probably spent hundreds of dollars in The Addams Family and Tales From the Crypt. He has worked in the digital printing industry for 5 years as a color specialist with Xerox and has traveled the US and Canada working with the famed DocuColor and IGEN3 products.  Kevin's experience with graphics work on the computer started way back with CorelDRAW 2.0.  He carried the artwork torch for CPR almost exclusively from the beginning, but looks forward to many more parts being made possible via the Art Team effort.

click to enlarge	JEFF ELIE Owen Sound, Ontario, CANADA Jeff’s love affair with pinball began twenty-five years ago when, while at university, he acquired a nearly-new Black Knight. He used the proceeds it generated on location in the student coffee shop to start a scholarship foundation for incoming students. Years later he purchased a BK of his own, and rekindled his passion for the silver ball through a lengthy and meticulous restoration process, which included recreating the playfield art. Today his collection represents more than eight decades of pinball development, and comprises several milestone machines, including the first pin – a 1931 Whiffle; the first electric pin – a 1933 Autocount, as well as games from the golden age of woodrails, through the heyday of electro-mechanical machines, to those glorious solid state standards of the ‘90s. When not head-and-shoulders inside a pinball machine, Jeff can be found restoring Edison cylinder phonographs, or tinkering with his 1975 Triumph Spitfire, or cruising the Sydenham River in his hand-built cedar-strip canoe. He owns Sydenham Publishing, a marketing communications firm based in picturesque Owen Sound, Ontario.  Years as a pinball hobbyist: 25 Software of choice:  Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW Completed / Produced projects:  BLACK KNIGHT double playfield set Active projects:  HIGH SPEED playfield

"For me this hobby is the best of both worlds.  I get to take these things apart, tinker, restore and eventually play some great games.  I also get to take another passion of mine (art) and put it to good use in this hobby.   I get a real sense of satisfaction when I can bring something back from years of neglect, and have it look as good, or better than the day it left the factory.  The pinball community is filled with some great people and I’m thrilled about the opportunity to make a contribution to it.

click to enlarge	MARK NASHOLD Indianapolis, IN, USA Mark started playing pinball during the late 70's. He and his friends would ride their bikes to the local bowling alley to play pinball, and later, video games.  Mark remembers thinking how cool the sounds and lights were, and later, amazing synthetic speech. One day they walked into the arcade to find a brand new pin being set up next to Alien Poker, Firepower, and Star Trek. It was a Black Knight, and Mark was amazed. Unfortunately, it was also the first pinball machine that they had ever encountered that cost 50 cents per play. In the end, Mark now has a special place in his heart for early 80's pins. Mark's interests shifted through the 80's. He met his wife and received his engineering degrees at Purdue University. It wasn't until the early 90's that his interest in pinball was re-sparked. At a Putt-Putt miniature golf and arcade, they had The Getaway, and The Addams Family. Mark was blown away all over again. He naively purchased his first three pins in a package deal (sight unseen) a few years later. They were TAF, TZ, and FT.  This was the beginning of Mark's pinball education. He dove right in and ordered a NOS Fish Tales playfield from Pinball Resource for $400.00. The eventual swap came out great and Mark still own this pin today. He restored many pins and repaired dozens of boards over the next five years, but basically stopped actively collecting pins in late 2001 after the birth of his first daughter. Fast forward six years. He now has 2 daughters, and a son on the way. He has a little time to himself late at night and he reworked the workshop in the basement (his wife calls it the dungeon workshop) to work on pins again. He was excited to see what CPR was doing, and wanted to support the effort. Mark picked up 3 Black Knight projects over the next 6 months. He has been meticulously restoring every part on these machines, including three BK repro playfield swaps!  Mark feels playing a freshly restored pinball can still give him a magical feeling.

David also tried his hand at a few plastics as well as target decals. He has a lot of experience using Corel Draw and Adobe but prefer the latter, mostly using Adobe Illustrator CS2.  He has enjoyed many games over the last 10 years but his favorite are the games he played as a youth in the small arcades of Ontario.  The games David most enjoyed were of the System 11 variety.  Cyclone being his all time favorite.  David currently owns a very nice Bally Xenon, NIB Interflip Dragon, Williams Gorgar, and Dracula. He is one of the founders of the VRPA ( Vancouver Regional Pinball Association ) to which he gives away a lot of tournament entry money.  David is looking forward to working with CPR in future playfield projects.

	LORI HANSEN    San Diego, CA, USA Lori has recently rekindled her love affair with pinball. As a pre-teen, growing up on the Jersey shore, she spent a good many hours pilfering quarters from her mother's purse and riding her bike to the boardwalk arcades. She moved to California in her early teens and after graduating high school, met the guy she'd marry. One of their favorite date activities was to play pinball at a local arcade...Cyclone being the machine they played most often. Then, they grew up. Arcades (and pinball) became a thing of the past for them. Eighteen years of marriage and three beautiful children later, Lori's  husband, Jeremy (an electrical engineer),  found a Cyclone machine for sale! Ahhh....memories. It is in bad need of refurbishing and repair and is one hobby they share, now. They hope to have their Cyclone machine as good as new soon. But wait! Two more pinball machines have found their way into their home, as well: Sharpshooter and Cybernaut. More projects for them to work on! Lori is a stay-at-home mom and an amateur artist. She uses Adobe  Photoshop and QuarkXpress to produce her kids' school newsletter on a Mac. She eagerly looks forward to working on (and completing) the  plastics for Tales from the Crypt.

click to enlarge	WARREN MacCULLOCH Coquitlam, British Columbia, CANADA   Warren first played pinball in the arcades of Calgary during the mid 70’s. He is a self-confessed drop target junkie, which may explain his soft spot for Gottlieb. At age 17 he bought his first game; Gottlieb’s “Jack in the Box” (lots of drops targets and pretty women!) and also joined the Pinball Owners Association which was then run by Gary Flower. In 1996 he began fulfilling his dream of having a basement full of pinball machines. Many games have come and gone but the ones that remain are from the late 70’s early 80’s with the exception of two WPC games.  Warren finds that a sentimental attachment to the games tends to keep them around. The current lineup includes Barracora, Cosmic Gunfight, Black Hole, and The Shadow, amongst others. He is an active member of the Vancouver Regional Pinball Association (had the inaugural meeting at his house) and has finished second in the VRPA league too many times to be funny. Warren loves hockey (Go Canucks!) which is why Bobby Orr’s Power Play is so special to him. It was also the second electronic pinball he played back in 1978, after Eight Ball. He has an NOS Power Play playfield that he wants to share with the pinball community – working with CPR, he says, "will help me do my bit” for pinball. He has 2 great kids (6 & 9) and a very understanding wife.  Warren runs in his spare time and is currently ranked the fastest 41 year old in Canada for 800 meters indoor (2008)!

	JEFF 'JETSY' MILLER Tampa, FL, USA                      ^ link to Pinball Pimp ^ Jeff is no stranger to pinball. From the time he was 8 years old back in 1974, he can remember holding out his hand, begging his Mom for quarters to play the pinball machines at the Danners 5 & 10 store in Columbus, Indiana. At that age he remembers having to stand on the wooden stool just so he could get a good view of the playfield and to reach the flippers. Lights, Sounds, Moving Parts, Colors, Artwork... he was HOOKED! Whenever he saw a pinball machine, he would check to see if someone left a credit or coins in the return, searching for the elusive quarter. His first machine was a Bally Captain Fantastic with a NOS playfield and did a COMPLETE restore that took almost a year... everything was restored all the way down to polishing each and every part! Now at the age of 41, he is a professional graphic artist and owns his own design firm with clients such as Samsung, SEARS, Best Buy, Staples, Sony, and the NFL. He has also done work for Bon Jovi, Dan Marino, LL Cool J, Alicia Keys and numerous other celebrities. Pinball restoration is his latest hobby and will most likely be something that he will be interested in until GAME OVER. If you take all the years of playing pinball, 25+ years of graphic art talent and put them all together... you get Jeff - The PINBALL PIMP!

	JIM SMITH Phoenix, AZ, USA Jim began playing pinball when he went to college in 1981. He bought his first game (Stern Galaxy) in 1987. That quickly expanded to four games, including 2 EMs. When he moved across the country to Arizona in 1992, he needed to slim down again to one machine. Jim had just the single game until 1999 when he began acquiring pinball games again and now has over twenty - ranging from pre-flippers to bingos, to new Sterns. Jim is a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) professional and cartographer by trade, working for a local government agency. He approaches much of this pinball artwork creation as though he is mapping features on the surface of the earth, just on a much smaller scale. The solid linework, fills, and playfield features can be faithfully digitized using GIS which is also a vector environment. He also uses Photoshop quite a bit professionally for map finishing and effects, and it will also be used for the playfield artwork creation. Jim is excited to be able to contribute to the parts reproduction effort. Although he was aware of CPR and the Art Team program, he never really gave his participation much thought until meeting Kris B. from Tucson and experiencing his enthusiasm for making a Joust reproduction playfield.

click to enlarge	JIM HECK Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA Jim started playing pinball as a youth in the late 70's at a local bowling alley.  One of his earliest and most vivid pinball memories includes finding and reading 'Pinball Portfolio' in his school library.  He thought the pictures of Fireball looked cool.  Jim remembers the excitement of  playing Black Knight for the first time when it arrived in his town.  He played pinball on and off over the years, and even dreamed of owning a machine one day.  Then in 2004, he finally decided to take the plunge, and bought his first machine a NIB The Simpsons Pinball Party.  His pinball mania was such that his second machine, a Funhouse in need of restoration, arrived just before the Simpsons machine.  Many more machines quickly followed and today his collection consists of about 18 machines in a mix of both modern DMDs and classic solid state pins from the 80's. Jim found more than a hobby in pinball, he found a true passion.  He enjoys everything about it, from fixing the machines to competitively playing them, the pinball community, the shows, and most of all the creative outlet.  In his day job, Jim is a Computer Software Engineer, feeding his other passion for computers and technology.  He is excited to combine the two passions, as he did when he taught himself TurboCAD to draw a MAME cabinet practically from scratch.  Jim eagerly anticipates his current goal of putting his perfectionist nature to task lovingly recreating the playfield art for Bally's Flash Gordon.  This is a machine he feels is the greatest single ball early SS machine ever designed.  Years as a pinball hobbyist: 4 Software of choice:  Adobe Illustrator Active projects:  FLASH GORDON double playfield

His name is David Fix and this guy has been around pinball for some time. David has been playing pinball since the late 70's. The first game that sucked him in was PORKERINO. He remembers playing that game and winning 8 free games on the first time he played it.  He started to collect pinball machines when he could not find any machines in his town to play. David now has 12 pins in his personal collection. David is pinball historian and knows a ton about the timeline of the industry. Back in the 90's David worked in the Newspaper business as head graphic artist. David is now a freelance graphic arts consultant. When working for the paper he was the guy that implemented change and pushed them to switch from pasted-up work that was shot on film to make plates for printing - and to change over to laying it out by computer and then sent to a laser to cut the film for plate making. David also remembers cutting rubylift when he was going to school for graphic art, and also has done silk screening. He has worked professionally with Photoshop, CorelDraw, and Illustrator and a load of other programs to many to list beginning in 1990. His current project is a PARAGON Backglass and MARS GOD OF WAR backglass, with some ideas on a few playfields. David is also considering doing backglasses that were done originally as translites - to make actual glass versions.  David holds a unique spot on the Art Team as our CMYK project expert.
