Some may remember that I did a movie poster style piece for my wedding invitation some months back. Well, after seeing it, a young soon-to-be-married couple asked me to do one for them as well. And since my interest in having some nice spare cash is stronger than my desire to be unique forever, I said yes.

I talked them into springing for a four color piece instead of two, like mine. The main photo was shot in an old train yard. The hill in the background and the sky are actually two seperate photos that I took on my recent trip to California.

Nice...looks like you're finding a niche market.

I have a niche market...its ALL people who WON'T pay me to do art for them. Seriously though, you may have a little gold mine going here.

Well, if there's one thing that everyone loves to spend money on, it's weddings. Creativity and style always are in demand, and artists and photographers can make a decent living on that kind of stuff.

A minor point, but, you don't think maybe you should have taken out their names and the date/time/location before posting this on the Internet?

It would be awful if people found out about a wedding from a wedding invitation, for sure.

(I kid!)

Looks like Aban and his friends are all beautiful people. [Smile]

I really like it!

Although the title if warped by a mind like mine could sound like the title of a porno! [Smile]

I have no doubt that there's money to be made in high-end wedding invitations, but I'm not sure that a high percentage of brides will be into the whole movie poster concept.

The finished size is 27 inches tall. Not full movie poster size, but still nice and big.

I've found that with the application of enough effort, virtually anything can be turned into a porno title. But let's not, just this once, m'kay?

It's kind of an odd Alias moment. Like maybe the case contains nuclear secrets.

Well, did he push her off the train after their kiss while the train was passing over a deep gorge, and proceed on to Stuttgart, there to hand over the case to a former KGB officer turned mafioso turned occasional Iranian contact, only to find that said mafioso was arm in arm with the lady from the train, in disguise as the youngest daughter of a Finnish telecom entrepenuer, with a weakness for expensive vodka and men with badges, but he couldn't do anything about it because to reveal her true identity to the mafioso would necessarily reveal that he (from the photo) had in fact stolen the nuclear secrets from an ally of the mafioso who was traveling on that very train?

Because that would be a telling clue.
