A vibrant illustration depicting various characters and scenes from 'Tales of the Arabian Nights', featuring a blue genie, a female character reading a book, mythical beasts, and a colorful background with architectural elements.

Here’s something new from Brian Allen, a stunning new backglass designed for Pedretti Pinball’s TOTAN 30th Anniversary Edition pinball machine. Allen chose to draw a completely new layout from the original. All characters here were hand drawn – no Ai-generated nonsense or photoshop paint-overs.  “So proud of this project and thrilled with the team who brought this to life,”  Allen shared.
