RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

It’s truly infuriating. I found this long read article very enlightening to just how much power/money/influence is intertwined in social media.
Enough power to intimidate and destabilise a government
