DescriptionA dream of a piece and maybe the end of my art collecting career? Not sure what could ever top this one.This might be one of Drew's more obscure movie posters but it's one that has haunted me since I first saw the film. The deep blues and fiery yellows and oranges of this piece have always captured my eye and if you've looked at my gallery for more than two minutes you can tell these are the colors that really grab me. Plus it's just frickin' creepy! It's surreal to have this massive painting from the master of movie posters sitting across the room from me. Drew will be terribly missed but his legend lives on!

It reminds me of the poster for The Thing but I like the more mystical themes of this one. Big congrats!

I feel the same way, there are definite comparisons here (and also this Creature from the Black Lagoon poster) but this one really drives home the other-worldness of the movie. Thanks for checking it out!

At some point we're just happy with what we have, right? I'm not sure if that's how it actually works :D

Ha, that's the hope I suppose...not necessarily the "reality" ;-)

The turbulant power of the cosmic elements and all of nature's particles all organized by Struzan to bring classic Hollywood shine!

Terrific. Struzan's poster art was the best thing associated with this movie.

That is no lie, it's a pretty messed up flick.

Guh. What a cover! Got that classic monster with girl theme and what a beauty! I'm not sure if he used the same reference for his Greystoke poster, but it felt the same for me with the girl between the two. Amazing get! Congrats!

Congrats!Totally agreed, super similar to that one as well. If he did use Bo Derek as the reference for this one I'm totally fine with that!

Unbelievable! How cool to have the art to a Drew Struzan movie poster! Never saw this movie, but who cares, the art is fantastic! Strange imagery, with this bikini-cald woman unconscious in the arms of a being that isn't there--we see no head except a glowing ball and his body seems to be part of the sky. Then behind them there's this fireball that looks like a rooster or maybe its just fire. But hey, this is art by the guy who did the posters for Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and Back to the Future! For me that's more impressive than the Mona Lisa. Damn dude, I'm impressed. And I don't impress easily. Phenomenal pick-up, congrats!

I'm glad you feel that way about it too Bill! I'll be dead honest, Incubus as a movie does not hold some special place in my heart. In fact it's one of the most disturbing horror movies I've ever seen. But the imagery of this piece far outstrips the film, and yeah, it's a frickin' Struzan!
As usual, thanks for stopping by and dropping some kind words in my gallery, you're much appreciated.
