Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Phase One is complete (work-wise) and nearly paid off.

From here there is a second smaller phasr that with collectively be another $1500 which will entail fillings and finally a night-guard to protect these babies while I sleep.

I'm so eternally grateful for all of your help

In two hours I have to log in to work and spend 8-hours making what amounts state propaganda, after which I will then go immediately to another 10-hour shift selling hamburgers so I can pay bills and hopefully carve out a day a week to make my own art and design work a reality.

Spielberg: “Drew made event art. His posters made many of our movies into destinations … and the memory of those movies and the age we were when we saw them always comes flashing back just by glancing at his iconic photorealistic imagery. In his own invented style, nobody drew like Drew.”

Drew Struzan, Iconic Movie Poster Artist and Favorite of Spielberg and Lucas, Dies at 78

He created some of the most memorable movie posters of all-time in his own signature style as Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro pay tribute.

What an absolute loss.
Another art idol, to myself and many, gone. RIP Mr. Struzan

Charlie Ashby @charlie-ashby.co.uk · 2d

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 💔
