2nd DL above is the Alias Sketch! install set, in Disk Copy 4.2 format and compressed as Stuffit 3.6 for SSW 6+ compatibility. This archive is a conversion of the original .zip upload (top DL) above.
You can watch the entire promotional and tutorial VHS provided with the software on youtube:

Alias Sketch! 1.5
Recommended : Mac II and Quadra series.
System 6.0.5 or higher - SSW 7 friendly.
8 MB of ram Minimum - 12 or more recommended.
8MB disk space.
Works fine with SheepShaver but it could need a FPU emulator (SoftwareFPU which is provided in the archive).

Works on PPC, OS 7 - OS 9, emulation untested.
Comments
I finally had the opportunity to digitize the VHS provided with the software containing a 1 hour tutorial and a promotional video that will bring you back in the early 90's! :

Enjoy
added v2 hope it's cool with everyone, anyone wants to put it somewhere else, fine by me. thanks very much for posting 1.5, whoever did.
i've got v2 (installed, not on floppy) works on 9.2.2 MDD. doesn't matter how i upload the sketch! install folder right? i mean any stuffit pre v6, disk copy pre v6.4 or toast pre v6 is pretty ok, yeah? poster mind me uploading it here? those screen shots are great, musta been the french guy bought that package out of cali on ebay. cojones on the shipping if that was you, monsieur.
Great Work ! Now this rare piece of software is usable on old Macs, too !
@Kitchen2010: I can. I've already converted these to Disk Copy 4.2 images for myself and compressed the archive to Stuffit 3.6 format (for SSW 6+). It would be nice if they were direct copies from original (locked) floppies, but they'll pass as a workable facsimile if there's no alternative.
[Edit] done. I also replaced the included SoftwareFPU 3.04 with SoftwareFPU 3.07 as this was the final release and by this stage is a freeware, no longer a shareware. It also fixes a major 3.04 bug in SFPU that caused Mac OS 8.5+ to crash badly when booting up.
Can you make the work and supply the images also in formats that are more suitable for old Macs ?
I agree. A nice finding of such a rare piece of Mac history. But why the odd format?
As is, not usable for anyone with original Mac hardware running SSW 6 - 7 and as the archive is an OS X formed .zip file containing proprietary ".DS_Store" & "__MACOSX" files (the latter required for restoring classic resource forks correctly), unzipping on any other than an OS X platform for example, wrecks the included SoftwareFPU files.
Although the unzipped ".iso" images do mount as floppy disks if dragged into an open Mini vMac session window. Its possible to then convert the mounted disks to Disk Copy 4.2 - 6.3 format should I want to install this to classic Mac hardware.
A minor niggle; The disk images when mounted, read as being modified on "Wed, Mar 12, 2014". Were the original floppies unlocked when you made images?
A nice finding !
But why are you using .iso-format for images of the floppies instead of the more common .img-format ?
