BTW, jproof gave the the rifftrax release dates, which I have posted on my webpage: http://www3.sympatico.ca/inch77/rifftrax.htm

I just thought of this when I saw that mrtorso had the Rifftrax ep number (RT-006) on the spine of his DVD cover.

I am trying to use the most unflattering screen grabs for the pics on the back.

This is why I like your covers so much, the "alternate" pics on the back are priceless.

Is there a good place to get the Thinpak cases?

I used to buy some made by Memorex from Wal-Mart but Memorex changed the hub for the worse and now I am using Comp-USA's brand of thinpak. They are not bad.

OK MrTorso, I just bought a whole bunch of those thinpak cases, so I'm counting on your covers to keep coming!  Just wanted you to know that your artwork is going up on at least one other DVD shelf in this fine land.

Cool! Good to know that some people are enjoying them! I'll keep doing them as long as they keep coming out. It is a fun hobby.

They'll be on my shelf too once I get off my ass and buy some cases.

Thinpak cases are the way to go.... saves a lot of space.

I get mine at www.genesysdtp.com and they have all sorts of cases at pretty good rates.

I just, ulp, ordered "Crossroads" used from Amazon.com and I feel a little ill right now.....

Doing the DVD cover for this will be painful.   Really painful.

Cool, thanks for the site.  And I agree, thin is the way to go, but there as so many covers out there that aren't thin.  And in my case, I have much more space than I do dvds, so the thick cases make my collection look much more impressive.

www.r1db.com is a custom cover site. There are some tremendous cover artists out there. They have a cover section for custom thinpaks and converted thinpaks as well.  Its a great site to to get covers for things like Box sets and what not. The Alien Quad box is a prime example of something needing to be put into individual cases.

MrTorso, would you be so kind as to post the covers you did for the first few Rifftrax that came out, like Star Trek 5, the Fifth Element, etc?

I like the designs you have been coming up with and wanted to use them for my own collection.


Thanks in advance
