Hi all,

Here's my new vignette/movie poster.

Inspired by Terry Prosper and Fred Carcanague.

PLMKWYT,
Bruce

Now I've got that darn lurking shark music running through my brain.

Oddly, I could barely read the word "Jaws" but the "illustration" told me all that I needed to know.

And, of course, if anyone responds to this message with "Bruce", do they mean you, me, or the shark?

Hey, that looks great, though it took me a second to figure out the angle, and the text is a little too hard to read. Hmm...I need to post some more of my vignettes...

Cool as usual, Bruce!

Aw man, that's awesome. At first I didn't know that it said Jaws at the top.

You did a great job, looks just like the poster.

sweeeeeet

thats pretty cool.. now I am of course envisioning so many movies as vignettes

Very cool. I too had a hard time reading the JAWS at the top, but it in no real substantial way diminished my enjoyment of the creation.

Bruce... I am humbled to be inspiration for you.
That is an outstanding poster vignette, simple but gets in all the detail of a huge box office poster. Also a most excelent job on the soon to be victim.
After seeing this I did another flip thru Brickshelf folders and really loved the Disney characters. Capt. Hook and Smithey are dead on. How did you get Peter Pan there w/o a shadow for the support?

Lets see some more of these!

Thanks for the kind words.

He can fly! He can fly!

Or he can cheat with photoshop

I used one of those clear supports, but went back in and painted it out afterwords.

Nice job on the poster. As with others, I didn't read "Jaws" right away, but that might well have been because I was seeing it more as vignette than as a poster re-done. The source was obvious right away, of course.

Hello!

That's funny! Not for the poor girl, of course...

As for the word "Jaws": The studs are distracting. Maybe it would have been better if you filled the gaps between the letters with white plates. Though I see on the 'S' that it is not quite possible....

Bye
Jojo, who never saw the movie. Seriously.

Cool Bruce! I like it. The whole design is cleverly done, very different from the usual. I have to agree that the Jaws sign is hard to read, but that is ok.

Dan

P.S. I have never seen the movie either.
