Jurassic Art was originally created from a fusion of ideas.  Some of the dinosaur clipart originated within the Arts & Letters Editor graphics software, though most of it was created from scratch specifically for this title.

The title was originally a play on the hit book of similar name - though the product was introduced before the release of the movie.  Originally titled "Arts & Letters Dinosaur", the JurassicArt came about through conversations between Tim McGuinness and the President of Computer Support Corporation during 1992.

Tim McGuinness formally joined Computer Support Corporation in the fall of 1992 to evolve a complete product line of thematic products, and to develop a distribution channel for them.

JurassicArt's first retailers consisted of TigerSoftware and a select number of museum gift shops.  However, within a year of its conception, JurassicArt was a major success and a national best seller!

Revolutionary Clipart Technology

JurassicArt pioneered the appearance of FlexArt - a means of creating clipart so that it can be easily manipulated.  This allowed individual dinosaurs to have their arms, legs, and other body parts to be easily moved to show custom poses.
