After a long spell listed as "out of print" The Criterion Collection has reissued Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits in swell new Blue Ray and DVD editions. Art Director Eric Skillman tasked me to come up with a new title treatment for the occasion. If you haven’t seen it, Time Bandits is, in part, about time travel via black rectangular portals. Having the title descending through one of the these openings seemed like a natural. Thankfully it was embraced by all. The next step was rendering something that would go well with the vibe of the original theatrical poster artwork. (you can click on the detail art for an even closer view) The disc will be out in December. It stuffs a good stocking.
