Movie Poster Commissions!

I like drawing up movie posters, but can rarely justify taking the time to do so.  But I dislike accepting movie poster commissions because they take so long, and if it does not meet a variety of criteria (my personal enthusiasm for the film being foremost among them) then it will serve me no purpose as a promotional piece, which means that I’d have to charge far more for it than I’d feel comfortable doing in order to justify taking on a piece that serves no greater goal (to do a poster I don’t intend to use a promotional piece, I’d need to charge six hundred and more, which I feel is too steep for non-commercial work)

So I’ve come up with what may be a solution: taking commissions for specific posters that I’d like to draw.

If you happen to really want original art for a film that I’d like to draw a poster for, then it’s a win for both of us.

So, here are the posters that I would like to do (many of them already roughed) and the prices that I would charge given the amount of time and detail that each would require. 

All of my posters feature drawn titles and handwritten text, and you would receive an 11x17 print of the final colored poster along with the original art.

Here's an in-progress sketch of a poster commission that I did last year, Guardians of the Galaxy:

And here's what the final finished version looked like:

Expect six-eight weeks before completion and shipping.  There is always the chance that I might finish the piece early, but no guarantee of it.

If you're interested, send a paypal payment for the specified amount to chris@curiousoldlibrary.com and BE SURE to include a note saying which poster you're commissioning.  I'll do my best to mark them as sold as soon as they sell, but on the off chance that I receive more than one order for the same poster the first payment will get it and any subsequents will be immediately refunded.

Thanks!
