ack in those early,
wild west days of personal computers when Atari, the Apple, Radio
Shack, and others ruled
the world, a guy named George
Beker defined the graphic universe of artificial intelligence with his
robot drawings and cartoons.
Beker's
iconic work first found a large audience when he provided the
illustrations for Dave Ahl's Basic
Computer Games which sold over a million copies internationally.
Beker went on to provide illustrations
for Ahl's follow-up book, More Basic
Computer Games,
and other computer-related publications. After writing television
projects for
Videorecord, Inc. and a stint at Sesame Street, Beker formed and for 30
years was the President of GBA, a
successful, multi-award-winning PR/media firm serving many of the
Fortune 50. Along the way (and largely unknown to him), his
drawings
took on a life of their own on the web where Beker's BOTS were
stolen, appropriated, copied,
modified, redistributed, and otherwise abused by numerous
sites and individuals.
BEKERBOTS.COM
is the only official site for contacting Beker, viewing his drawings,
and the like. Anyway,
enjoy the visit. And feel free to drop us a line if you have any questions,
comments, or special requests.
