From The Essential Ellison
Harlan on the set of some movie or TV show or something. Hell, for
all I know it could be the Little Miss Easy Bake Oven Pageant, 1967.
I just scan 'em, I can't always explain 'em. Photo by Curtis Lee Hanson.
(Note: HE says this is from the set of Burke's Law
in the 1964-65 season, when Harlan's script "Who Killed Purity
Mather" was being shot. During the shooting of this show, Harlan
fondly recalls that the crew actually set fire (on purpose) to Sound
Stage 13 of CBS Studio Center (formerly 4-Star Studios). - Ed.)

Harlan's reaction on learning he has his own web page! Okay, so
it's an old picture. Maybe he was prescient. Photo by Bill Dignin.

Ellison standing outside of the original Ellison Wonderland, his
treehouse home from 1962-1966 in Beverly Glenn, CA. It's not there anymore,
so if you try to brachiate by you will be sorely dissapointed. Photo

The second logo for the Harlan Ellison Hornbook, by Tim Kirk.
It looks a LOT less blurry close up. Sometimes thumbnail images are
not pretty.

in grayscale by your truly. If only I could find a good place to make
this transparent and put it on the main web page... (photo by Stathis

in the world today. You can see more of Stathis's work at: www.orphanos.com)

Hey, I know! I could take that last picture, drop it down to 4 colors,
then save it and make the black color transparent with GIFTOOL. Then
I could put it on the comments page to the left and below the title,
so it looks like he's leaning on NOTHING, just like the book cover!
Hmmmm....maybe it would look better if I flopped the black and white
so he'd show up better. Or I could shade the background down some so
the white comes out more, or just go to a mono background. Here, give
me that napkin...
(The previous paragraph was included as a demonstration as to why,
if you ever find yourself seated next to someone who designs web pages
at a dinner party, you should run. I don't care if you've got Richard
Feldman on the other side and Robin Williams across from you, RUN. Trust
me.)
