Sandman Slim with book cover

I designed this mock movie poster for the March Recreate/Replicate Poster contest. The March theme is to turn out a movie poster based on a fave book - it doesn't have to already be a movie, or even be heading for a studio.

I loaded the full sized poster, by itself, first - and this one to comply with the contest requirements, to include the original book's cover, too.


I elected to do a movie poster for Sandman Slim. It's one of the best books I've read in many a month. I also think it would translate wonderfully to film, but...that's my wishful thinking. (Hence the name of my fictional movie company - LOL.)

I used door stock from


I also used an old rust texture from Media Militia.

I drew all of the other elements in Illustrator, then imported them into Photoshop.

This is fan art & is not intended for commercial use, just fun & to honor a great book - Richard Kadrey retains all rights to all of his wonderful words & characters.
