This
is one of my favorites. It's for a Warner Bros animated movie named
Osmosis Jones. Roughcut did special preview coverage for it, and
the graphic materials from the film are amazing.
|
|
|
Sometimes
I get inspired. Since movie marketing is a somewhat less friendly
version of Monopoly, I used this graphic for the feature. I spent
WAY too much time doing this cover image, but I used the graphic
with the story, so things worked out.
|
|
|
I
spent so much time on the dragon, that I left the background white.
Just as I sometimes get inspired, sometimes I got hungry and went
to lunch.
|
|
|
We
did covers for our special promotion of Thirteen Days so many times
that I ran out of ideas. Sometimes the tagline I make up leads to
the graphic, luckily.
|
|
|
In
Roughcut's Civilian Voices section, a reader wrote about how Dungeons
and Dragons' Marlon Wayans resembled Jar Jar Binks, an image so
ridiculous that it kind of supplies its own momentum.

Ray
Pride did a bi-montly feature for Roughcut about art films. His
column mentioned several films at a time, and it was a test to see
how many images I could fit into the graphic. This one is for:
Dr. T & the Women
The Yards
Requiem for a Dream
and Ratcatcher.

This
one was pretty simple artistically, since I just had to lead into
Roughcut's review of Pay it Forward, which I think was pretty unfavorable.
I tried not
|

|
When
I worked at Warner Bros, our department did a huge spoof of Blair
Witch (who didn't?). It was just too easy to do this cover.
|
|
|
This
was a case of having absolutely no images from the event. I had
to make the whole thing from scratch. Sometimes simplicity works
(I hope).
|
|
|
Speaking
of simplicity, my love of pop culture packaging art sometimes got
to triumph over my detail-oriented style. It's definitely attention-grabbing.

Review
covers, like this one for Red Planet, tended to be fun, because
they let me have an outlet for my strong smartass tendencies.
|
|
|
This
cover ran on Election Day 2000. I truly believed that we'd know who
the President was by the next morning. Ha ha ha
|
|
|
You
have to know Alli to really understand this cover, but it's another
case of having no images to use, so I made my own.
|
|
|
Another
Alli cover. Spent WAY too much time on the flame effects. Needed
coffee.
|
|
|
Gee,
Alli again. What graphics can you make for a writer who sticks mainly
to the topics of breasts, porn, and alcohol?
|
I spent so
much time on this image, you can imagine how thrilled I was when
it didn't make it on the site due to loading problems.
|
Photoshop
has the coolest filters. Enough said.
|
It's
really tough to fit a good image in with the text in this small
format.
|
Still
one of my favorite covers for inexplicable reasons.
|
Roughcut
ran a series of video interviews with the cast of X-Men. This
was my attempt to make the graphic look modern and cool.
|
You
know you are hard up for ideas when the best part of the image
is a bad pun.
|
Sometimes
the bad pun makes it all work, though. Doesn't this Thomas guy
look evil?
|
I
met Tammy Faye in Sundance where she was promoting The Eyes of
Tammy Faye, a high-camp chronicle of her life. She totally won
me over.
|
The
problem with doing an ongoing promotion for any film is that you
eventually run out of images and ideas for that film.
|
I
looked kinda the way Clint does here when I had to do yet another
Space Cowboys cover.
