Things that make it all worthwhile

You may remember that last month I created a poster for Edgar Wright's Halloween double bill at the New Beverly cinema in LA. It was an enjoyable little side project to do, but just to make it even more worthwhile, yesterday I received a parcel from Edgar. Contained within was this huge A0 sized poster for 'Don't', the fake trailer he did for Tarantino's and Rodriguez's Grindhouse.

Edgar Wright Signed 'Don't' Poster

Apologies for the poor photo - I'll take a better one over the weekend during daylight hours! But the signed message reads - "Sam - if you...are thinking...of stopping... doing kickass posters...DON'T! - Edgar Wright'. There have been quite a few projects this year where I've had to pinch myself, and this is definitely one to add to that collection.

I've worked hard over the last few years, but when something like this comes through the door, you can't help but take stock, but most importantly, stay inspired. Spaced is one of the things that genuinely inspired me to do what I do, so to be able to work with Edgar almost a decade later is gratifying, to say the least.
