Thank you everyone for your kind words. Things are hopeful though - I received a call from a recuiter for Warner Bros. I don't expect anything to come of that lead but that was only Day 2 of my search.

from experience, WB Home Video is not fun to deal with... just curious, but what are you "searching" for?

Good luck, you're work is fantastic and I'm sure you'll have great success.

Yup. It was the same thing with Star Wars last summer. You had page upon page of people (me included) doing Star Wars covers.

It's just that Darren and I are so bloody prolific with our Bond output, and there are so many films to cover. I think it will be another month before you can safely stop by and not have Bond greet you every other post.

Great job on Lawrence. I still think you could use a more subdued font for the recap, but that's just my opinion and you're welcome to it :-) Keep 'em coming.

Might do covers for the first two movies from the original trilogy as well, but i'm really not sure what artwork to use atm. The Amazing Spider-Man is getting multiple versions, along with a 3D version.

That's amazing! If you do a cover for Spider Man 1 and 3, I would love to get the trilogy if you would allow it. Even if you don't do 1 and 3, I'm still interested.

The battle of Indiana Jones and perhaps the Universal Monsters will be next...

I subdued the font as much as I was willing to. Thank you for your input. This forum is always a great place for a little user input. Keep up the good work on the bond covers.

There are only so many Indiana Jones variations that are acceptable. At least IMO. I'd like to see some attempts however to keep things fresh in this thread.

These are the iconic images I hope to see made into customs....

Crossing my fingers for you. I'd love to work for WB. And if you were making covers professionaly, we'd get much better stuff.

What setting do you set for the printers on to print out regular size Blu-ray covers? Like, say at the photo printing kiosk thingy at Wal-Mart?

[Moviefan2k4]

I posted this in one of the movie art forums too, but figured it would be appropriate to copy it here...

I'm working on a set of Blu-Ray covers for the upcoming "Star Trek: TNG" seasons, but I have no worthwhile images of the Enterprise D. If anyone has some excellent rendered shots with no backgrounds, please post them; thanks!

I used those posters for my Indy custom covers. I was just waiting on the specs to finish them.

Oh yes, I now recall you showing a preview pick of Raiders....can't wait to see the finished set once full specs are finalized. Also glad to see U sticking around the thread and re-tooling your Bond sets. I have all your first "Gold" editions and am now looking forward to the re-tooled gold versions with title treatments on the spines and the inclusion of credits on the fronts.

Another day, another James Bond cover.

Live And Let Die. My brother and I used to watch this over and over when we were kids. It was a taping off of UK Channel 4 (probably), and the buffers at the commercial breaks all featured this poster. This image's nostalgia factor is HIGH :-) I still have the tape (Betamax!).

[GuyIncognito]

I would Love a custom cover for all four of my Shrek movies. One cover which would be used for a single case holding all four movies would work (I personally like collections which are grouped in a single case).

Thanks a lot for any help

[ScottDS]

Just a work in progress...

ITV had the rights to all the James Bond moves (except "Never Say Never Again") for UK broadcasting throughout all of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. I'm not sure if that is still the case (I left the UK in 1995) but it is likely that was an ITV broadcast.

The story goes that the BBC thought the James Bond series was beneath them, a decision ITV made them regret every bank holiday. I recall it being major news in the early 1990s when a bank holiday went by without a James Bond movie on ITV.

A revamped "Licence to Kill"...please note - the marketing for "Licence to Kill" used the British spelling of "Licence" - even in the United States. A number of uneducated cover designers in the past have erroneously used the American spelling.

I like that poster. Suits the film very well and makes for an eye-catching cover.
I'll have to come clean and say Dalton is my favourite Bond as well, not that anyone asked :-)

ITV and it's regional incarnations have been showing Bond films since 1974. Sky will begin their run when the ITV deal expires in October.
