Thought you might like to see what wasn’t chosen for the Drawing Flies cover. The cover that was chosen (the one you posted
last week) was overseen by Malcolm (I emailed him our progress daily) and is kind of a halfway point between art and
commerce. He wanted to make sure that the cover “best represented” his film and make sure that it was not misleading or
exploitive in any way. We are all very happy with the finished product however…

What about all the ones we made that were not chosen?

1st up, The “Lambs” cover. This one was my idea. It came out nice but, it makes the movie look like a parody of Silence of
the Lambs and really had nothing to do with the movie. This one was shot down quick.

The next two (one was a really rough sketch, the second was the one we turned in) is what we called the “Jaws Concept”.
Because we had limited tools, we thought it might be a cool idea to do an “illustrated concept” (like the Dogma and
Mallrats Special Edition DVDs). The “Jaws cover” was the first of two illustrated concepts that we came up with (you
will see the second illustrated cover in a future email). I knew Kevin Smith had a thing for Jaws (The TS and Brodie names
in Mallrats kinda gave that away). So, we gave it a shot. It just didn’t work and both Malcolm and Kevin gave a swift NO to
that tagline that I came up with (an understandably so, looking back now, I hate it) None the less, neither of these covers
were good enough so they got the axe.
