for an incredible history of Snarry Art check out the tribute videos for the Snarry Games comm on IJ where you'll find the Tribute Video. It goes through all the art from the 2009 Games. There's a link to previous Tribute vids as well at Akemi42's site.
The first time I saw a Snarry Games Tribute vid is was the song Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I was blown away, and I cried every time I heard that song for weeks. (Need I explain how this is a good thing?)
