Taral had the advantage of being geographically close to Assinio, so Assinio actually had to pay him for his artwork! He couldn't get away with "paying" Taral with copies of his art CD-Roms for Taral to re-sell, or with random bits of computer hardware, or IOUs, as so many other artists learned to regret.
I added a link to the eFanzines site a little earlier tonight, it's got a lot of his personal writings preserved!
