Description

I didn’t know of Drew when I watched my favorite childhood’s movies for many of which he created these gorgeous movie poster paintings. But once a friend introduced me to him and his mesmerizing work, there was no turning back, I became a die-hard fan of his other-worldly beautiful artwork.
Today is a very sad day, as I just learned of his passing yesterday (October 13th), so I thought to post this in tribute of him.


Rest in peace Drew…thank you for all the wonderful memories!


This is the final movie poster artwork for John Carpenter’s 1986 classic “Big Trouble in Little China”. This was a must-have as it’s one of Drew’s most recognizable works and marked his second collaboration with Carpenter after 1982's The Thing. As Kurt Russell never strikes the exact pose depicted on the poster, the body is actually Drew himself, wearing a muscle shirt that he drew the graphic onto himself (a friend of his stood in for Kim Cattrall). In The Art of Drew Struzan, he wrote: "Some people love the poster because they love the movie. Others love it because they love the art. I love it because it was good to me."
