buttheadsmate Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'd really love to have some sort of book which incorporated some if not all of the artwork we have seen over the last ten or so years . Just throwing the idea out there & whilst it's obvious that 'the powers that be' might have to sanction it ....anybody interested ? I'm particularly interested in the artwork used for packaging ,much of which is beautiful but unsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGallo21 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 That sounds like a great idea. .... I'm particularly interested in the artwork used for packaging ,much of which is beautiful but unsung. I completely agree and would like to include the box art done by some of the other members here, I've seen some beautiful work from them as well.

minijeff Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 amazing-spider-man-1-retailer-summit-variant.jpg Maybe we could include this? Spooky. Is this a legit thing? Seems like a pretty cool idea As for my book, it was more of a control art thing, here's the link for those that don't recall... http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=366e36228e807b4b&sid=0AYtHLVk3Zt2zlQ Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click that link it will take you to the preview of it and you can check it out. I do enjoy flipping through it now that it is home and seeing how much the control art process has changed over the years.

bzorio Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm graphic designer and can help with layout and stuff. I believe that a book with the model sheets and packages would be great... plus a lot of art with the minimates like sketches, drawings or photos.

Shanester Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I love Minimate art. I feel like I have some nice pieces in hand painted prototype minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
