One word for the man behind the poster who communicates through his interpretations of many a blockbuster film: speechless. Read more in Hollywood Reporter here. More on Struzan's journey here. One word from Struzan's fans that rings true with all of his imagery: iconic. Kyle Lambert's rendition of Struzan amongst the stars captures the essence of a true Struzan composition: it's not just a bunch of Photoshopped heads in order of billing. There's true grit, fiber, and texture holding it all together.
From the paint splatter to the colored, dramatic lighting and colored pencil, it's nearly all "drew. Except for once the "drew" signature is prominent and not gently hidden in the background. For once it's front and center, and it deserves that sort of recognition. With Drew's posters every picture tells a story. The Photoshop jockeys got it all wrong because they thought it was every pixel tells a story. Long live mixed media.
