Elissa Steamer

I was obsessed with this graphic during THPS2



Never saw one at a shop, but I THINK the size was 7.625x31.5?
Still think its a super cool graphic. Would like back story on it

looks like the toy machine font was hand drawn by Margaret Kilgalen

damn, what is this? site has a ton of cool looking stuff for sale, never heard of it

shameful self promotion

I love the scene where they're on a Toy Machine tour in who-knows-where, and they're clearly blazed watching Clockwork Orange in the motel, and Elissa is all high & hyper hopping between the beds. Real loveable little sister energy.

Also love how they didn't disclose her age on the early THPS games. A lady never tells.

The fact that Elissa is 50 years old and has a photo in the current Thrasher
is just so fucking rad. Lifetime achievement award.
When I think about her it just makes me happy.
