Randym

Randym is a vidder and fan artist who began vidding and drawing in the late 1980s and continued through the late 1990s. 
Her artwork and zine work won her one FanQ award and three Stiffie Awards. 
She is one of the few vidders from the 1980s to have made the transition to digital vidding.
Randym, along with Carol McCoy, was very much a fan of the oft-maligned Blake's 7 character, Del Tarrant.

File:blakerabble1-3.jpg| from Blake, Rabble and Roll #1 - " Leigh's art [in Blake Rabble and Roll] throughout is outstanding, and the Avon-Blake that accompanied this story was uncannily visually attuned to the prose; couldn't have been better. [...] All of Leigh's pieces were fantastic, each enhancing the story it/they accompanied. Her attention to body position and gestures really impresses me. It isn't just the face that is in character and recognizable. I could study the two "Stand-In” illos for a long time and still find much interesting in them, the expressions, the poses, the gestures. She even paid attention to garments. Avon and Vila had their same outfits , but Tarrant, after his ordeal, was allowed to change (very clever!)." from a letter of comment in Blake, Rabble and Roll #2 (Blake's 7)

From a fan in 1995: "I've had the zine all of two days, and already it is falling open to page 91, where there is a lovely line drawing by Randym of a very naked Avon being flogged (with Tarrant forced to watch and looking horrified, but if you don't like Tarrant you can ignore that half of the picture)." -- a comment on Virgule-L, quoted anonymously, July 31, 1995 (Blake's 7)
