Actually the artist may be known to Steven Sullivan because I am 
reasonably certain that this object was included in his very early 
collections of Ascii Pictures.

His collections are available in the archives so someone may like to 
start at Collection No. 1 until they find the picture and then ask 
Steven Sullivan who the author was. In those early days Steven did 
not append artists' names :-)
