Umm..they are almost gone now. Years ago when DVD ruled there were so many more sites.

Anyone got any good art for a Harry Potter collection with individual case artwork?

Something close or similar to this? I can only find 1-6 of that variant. It's missing the last two films. Anyone got good ones for the whole collection?

It seems a few folks are missing EuphoricFX.org, as am I, so I PM'd ctaulbee at Customaniacs to get the lowdown. Below is his reply...

"It will be back, on a new much faster server pretty soon, just had to many problems with the current host, we didn't want to move it as the site is so big that the move is going to create some problems but the decision has been made now to do it, and that is beginning as we speak, truth is it will take a week or two likely due to the sheer size plus the probable issues will be many until everything is reconfigured to run on the new server, but it is coming back bud.

We hope to have the forums back up first an quickest so we can at least let people know what is going on."

So, hopefully will be back soon, and better than ever.

The paper I've been using is 32lb, 120g, Matte Premium Presentation Paper by HP. It seems to be about the same as a stock cover. As far as matte vs. glossy.....when I recently started printing some of these amazing covers, that all these wonderful people are sharing, it was recommended to me to use matte. So that's what I used. They turned out really nice with this paper, so I simply haven't felt the need to try anything else. Happy Printing!

This is a good reason a site like that would benefit from having a social media page (twitter, Facebook, etc.) The members get restless. A simple tweet every now and then keeps everyone up to date and tensions at a minimum. I don't use the site in question, by the way, but I understand it is apparently an excellent place for you hardcore guys. I hope everything gets back to normal over there soon.

any of the custom cover mistro's thinking of doing single sets of the four films from the spike lee volume blu's.

Good point. Seems like they could send out a group email or post it on the site before they take it down for a couple of weeks.

That is superb news - thanks for doing that!

Will keep fingers crossed that it isn't down too long.

Not sure where to post this but I am looking for a scan of this cover art, if anyone has it or if they could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I just want to keep my single 3D copy of frozen in a blu-ray case with this artwork as I bought it without a case.

I'm a fan of the Cars series :

Here is the penultimate cover in the Hitchcock collection.
Frenzy.

Interesting development: While the current patron of this series bows out after the next cover (Family Plot), he has agreed to let further such covers for other Hitchcock films be produced if anyone else wants to commission them.

So, anyone wishing to commission me for Hitchcocks not already included in the series may contact me in that regard. I would ask that they agree to share the covers freely like the inital client has done. Who knows, maybe through "crowdfunding" covers for every Hitchcock can be made available to all?

[Hubunkey]

Nissen, you have a list of titles that you haven't done in Hitchcock yet? I might be willing to chip in for a few

I couldn't wait for you Nissen, so I started my own, based on your layout. I hope you don't mind:

Hmmm.. Not sure what's actually been released on Blu.
North by Northwest, Psycho, Strangers on a Train and To Catch a Thief are the first ones off the top of my head.

Easier for me just to list the ones that I have done covers for.

• Family Plot
• Frenzy
• Man Who Knew Too Much
• Marnie
• Rear Window
• Rope
• Saboteur
• Shadow of a Doubt
• The Birds
• Topaz
• Torn Curtain
• The Trouble With Harry
• Vertigo

Well, actually those are a little too close for comfort, so I do mind, but not really much I can do about it, is there.
