So Vesna (
www.TheArtofMoviePosters.com) traded me a sensational rejected "Death Defying Acts" Aussie 1S:

She also referred me to Aussie artist Jeremy Saunders (

I understand these were digital promos only, not printed:

So I created wallpaper:

I also exchanged a few illuminating emails with him, learning:
+ he was upset with the design limitations on DDA
+ most MPs nowadays are for digital/Netflix promotions only, not printed/distributed
+ "all" MP designers are poor. (Like me, you can support him by
buying his prints here)
+ he doesn't know why distributors "weirdly" don't sell MPs to public

I'm copying/pasting excerpts of these emails:

I'll ask him mo' Qs in future:
- What modern/vintage MP artists do you respect and why?
- how much design freedom do you have vs. directions from studio?
- how many designs per MP do you submit?
- influence of Mondo, more creativity now or just “floating heads nightmares”?
- do you interact with directors/stars of your movies or just marketing dept?
- can you parlay your prior MP design work into more lucrative commercial work?
- how did you become interested in MPs and what technical training?
- what programs/apps do you use to design MPs?
- is there a forum for professional MP designers?
- should MP artists/designers get more recognition?
- What do you collect?

I'll add Charlie's interview of Big Lebowski international MP.
