I agree Brad, that is super cool buddy! Way to go :) From what we can see the poster looks stunning, do you just take your psd file to a professional printer and they do the rest or is there more to it?

Extremely cool, Brad!! How did he like the artwork? :)

Thanks NR! I just re-sized the PSD file and all the imagery on the front to accommodate the new 20" x 17.25" size. Then sent it to a local printer to have it printed on poster paper. I suppose it could have just been taken to them as is, but I wanted the images to be perfectly crisp, so I went through each layer and ensured it had the proper resolution for the size!

Thanks JR! He thought it was quite cool, and really liked how the patch was integrated into the poster!

Okay, here are the other two ones I got this year:

The Mist (Sad no custom cover!): Signed by Laurie Holden, Sam Witwer and Melissa McBride (got that signature last year)... Another one of my favourite movies! I am surprised that I have been able to get so many autographs on it! The nicest person to talk to was Sam Witwer; he chatted up a storm, talking about how much e loves the B&W version of the movie, what it was like getting beat up on set, the extreme ending and how perfect it was, and working with the cast (especially Marcia Gay Harden).



C-3PO: This is a backpack that pulls apart and stuffs into a bag to recreate the 3394663598 from Star wArs where Chewbacca carries him on his back after he gets pulled apart. It has been signed by Anthony Daniels. Anthony thought it was a little disturbing, but funny. He also though it was amusing that I wanted this to be signed!
