One of my first custom covers, a simple cover for a VHS containing TV recordings the original Japanese Ring and it's sequel. From back in the days when we still taped stuff off the tele.
A very rare silent Japanese film that despite having some screenings in past few years has yet to be made commercially available. Finding images for this was a real challenge, the mask on the back is actually from a poster for a reissue and has little to do with the original release. The front I am most pleased with, however unfortunately I got the Kanji symbol '-' the wrong way around placing the text downwards and it appears i have lost my original work files for this.
I really the cover of this one, the colours are perfect, though i would probably change the graphic on the spine. This DVD is homemade from a collection of Boop shorts I took off archive.org. This collection is essentially some of the best Betty Boops that were made, all pre Hayes code.
The silent version Hitchcock's classic Blackmail, one of my favourites of the era. the artwork i don't think is too great on this one and i think i tried too much replicating the 'Pages' art. It doesn't stand out in use either.
A rare copy of a Koji Wakamatsu pinku eiga film. Being it's a 'Pink' film i made it pink, i really like it. I remember having a real hard time finding some appropriate text to go on this one as as very little had been written about it, and i hate writing my own text for these things especially when film doesn't have subtitles and i can barely understand what's going on to begin with. Also high quality images in instances like this can be hard to find and so i usually resort to using screen captures which i can mostly get a way with.
Same as above but this time a rare Shuji Terajama film. The girl on the cover only appears briefly in one scene but i like it. Plus there's no cover better then one with a nipple shot.
Cover for a bootleg of the Manic Street Preachers, i've done quite a few of these. This one is done in keeping with the style of the art work for their album Send away The Tigers and it's singles.
I bought a Greek promo (a lot of which seem to be around on ebay at the minute) of this film as I was doing an essay of Itami Juzo who appears in the segment directed by Terajama. The design was based on the discs art which had similar colours and cover image.
Homemade DVD with episodes sourced from volumes 1 and 2 of the vhs. design is a rehash of that of the PAL edition of Volume 1.
I tried to base the artwork for this on the one for Rust Never Sleeps. The screen grabs i took are ideal but this is all lost due to the poor quality.
Partly based on the art for the soundtrack release, this is a heavily bootlegged film and has been on demand for a DVD release by most fans of the bands included. It has recently been made available through the Warner Archives made on demand DVD service which unfortunately is restricted to the US.
A bootleg of the rare promo documentary 'Return of the Ewok' which only saw the light of day in recent years at conventions. The front image is a favourite of mine and was originally from a cover of Rolling Stone. I had quite a time photoshoping the text out which I managed to get away with even my basic PS skills. Incidentally all four of the characters on this cover happen to appear in the short film. I aimed to make the layout follow that of the feature films, even by placing similar icons such THX (though it obviously isn't). I aim to make a cover for the Holiday Special in the future as i'm not pleased with the ones currently available.
I decided to move the 8 discs from my Itami boxset to a smaller and easier to open case. The original boxset is in the form of a pile of films cans, which is boxed and wrapped in its original plastic. So instead of having to go through every time i moved the discs. The printout was areal hassle as due to the size of the case it would not fit on an A4 sheet, and the first few printouts were complete failures as I had somehow got the measurements wrong.
