Nice! Are there also plans to get the original cover art from Escape From Monkey Island? Or is that unobtainable?

Actually I've got several MI4-posters in the works:

Man! You, sir, are on fire!

Are these originals? And is the last one a concept drawing?

They are scans from two magazines (thanks to Mojo's ATMachine). I guess the artwork was painted with the ripped paper around it, because I haven't seen a version of the painting with more space around the edges. I did the version without the paper myself, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to add the missing water bit in the lower left corner.

The artwork with the strage looking Guybrush was an early version which got canned and repainted. It's not "concept" though, as it is fully painted like the final cover.

By the way:
I've added a bunch of new posters for "The Secret of Monkey Island", including logoless versions, plus new color corrected ones.

Awesome, You never cease to amaze me with your dedication

Have you seen the Escape from Monkey Island art without the duck on Guybrush's shoulder?

Sweet! I made a DVD cover for EMI in the style of the others on Adventure-Treff but I'm going to have to redo it now! Too bad I already printed it out.

Damn!!!!

But nooooo, I don't wanna go baaaaaack...

Would we have this at high resolution anyway?

I think its just from a magazine, so perhaps it would be possible. Although the tree looks fantastic how you did it.

I was trying to find a higher res scan of that advert over at the CGW Museum.
I didnt manage to find it but did come across this issue

Maybe that would help with a Loom Poster, if we could get a better scan of the cover.

Ah, I see, so the MI1-ad was from CGW-magazine? I've already contacted one of the guys over there about several pages from CGW (including the Loom-ones... that issue also has a completely clean version of the cover... in small though). But he says it'll take a while to pick them out, as he's quite busy right now.

Nah, I dont think it was from CGW, I was just browsing the archives to check.

Just wanted to say I'm hugely impressed by the work!

Also, not sure if its been mentioned.. Any chance of a Grim Fandango poster even though its not a ScummVM game?

Absolutely.
