Drew Struzan - Legendary Poster Artist

If you've ever been to the movies you have, at some point in your life, seen a poster illustrated by artist Drew Struzan. He's been one of the main driving forces behind using traditional art for movie posters over the last few decades. The Thing, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner and many more movies over the years have used his artwork to advertise their films. Below I've attached a short interview that features a rare look at Drew Struzan working on a poster for the film The Mist, as well as him talking about his work along with comments from the director, that really gives a better insight into how he's helped shape the movie poster as Art.

  1. Thanks for sharing this. I miss seeing his work at the movies, it used to be that there was always something of his there. Unfortunately, studios are happy to use photo collage's instead of the real deal, even though they all seem to emulate the Struzan style.
