An idea and opportunity???

First off I realize this maybe should have been put in the forums but I guess it is the first real debut of what I have been working on so it's blog worthy too I think. ;)
I'm currently working on a TGEA game and in particular an Arcade "Level" Basically I am wondering if any developers here would like to supply me with media from there projects to use as wall art for my Arcade Level. Look at it as kind of free advertising. I get art you get advertising when my game is released.
So I'm looking for logo's, game art, etc. to act as posters on the walls of the arcade. It can be from completed projects, soon for release, or abandoned projects that you don't have any use for the art. Keep in mind that I will probably be resizing textures and will lose resolution but I will be willing to provide examples of in use before release to give you the right to refuse the use.
Here is a video of my project to give you a vague idea of the quality of work.

Like the sound--the ambient sound in particular.

I'm trying to focus on the feel really. That's what keeps me playing the Carnival game. My game can be played via mouse and keyboard or xbox 360 controller. At first I preferred mouse and keyboard probably because i'm more of a pc gamer but after implementing the 360 controller l it feels like a tighter feel. Right now it looks like PC and maybe Xbox. Not a lot of skee ball games in this area that I know of other than some 2d flash games that are fun but just don't feel right to me. Guess I'm doing what Jeff Tunnell says and I'm going for a niche market.

Thanks for the comments guys. It really helps push me along, particularly during busy time for my paying job. I agree with the Wii idea Brian. There are a couple of titles that have this. One really bad implementation where the physics are really bad and one that I think is particularly good in the Carnival game for Wii. I play that all of the time. Not perfect by any means but what game is? Not sure how critics rated it but I think it is a fun family game or party game. Not deep but certainly fun. I'm trying to focus on the feel really.

Man, I love skeeball. Watching this video makes me want to eat bad pizza and go to an arcade for a few hours. :)

Great idea for the posters.
