The files thinktank1.sfx and thinktank2.sfx contain as much of Thinktank's
C/G artwork as I could find.  A C/G editor is included in thinktank1.sfx.

 Alex Quevedo was 20 years old. He was known all over South Florida for the
outstanding Commodore Graphics Screens he designed. He went by the Handle of
"ThinkTank".....
 
 In the 10 years I have been using the Commodore system, I have never seen any
graphic work any better than his. He designed the opening screens and graphic
intro screens for just about every Commodore BBS within a 50 mile range of
Miami, and setup some others across the nation...
 
 Yesterday, "ThinkTank," in his second year of College, was rundown buy a
truck while trying to push his disabled jeep off the highway... It was a
senseless death, and took the life of one of our very good friends in the
prime of his life...
 
 We, here in South Florida, will miss ThinkTank. He was never too busy to
crank out One More Designer Screen for any SysOp who asked him.  He had a
great future in the computer world... Now, that is all gone!
 
  Those of you who enjoy Commodore Graphics artwork will appreciate the great
loss we feel here. There rest of you can just skip over this post, and write
it off as an experience you missed......

Things must happen for a reason, the universe blossoms from the chain of
cause and effect.  I did not know Thinktank, I knew only his work, but that
was sufficient.  The incredible rendition of Bonk, the impressive BBS intros,
all are remembered firmly in my mind.  For many people, his art is still the
C/G standard to follow.
 
   To paraphrase Ben Franklin,
 
        Like the cover of an old book
        It's letters worn, the borders dull,
        awaiting a rebirth,
        In a new and more elegant edition,
