DREW STRUZEN goes WILD

Everything that ever mattered! I was peeking around concept art today and happened upon the name Drew Struzan. That guy did a lot of artwork for Star Wars… oh and he did Fievel Goes West… and Big Trouble in Little China, Blade Runner, Harry Potter, and BACK TO THE FUTURE. Holy crap this guy did everything in the danged world. Below you will find a collection of Drew Struzan’s works, everything from the Police Academy series to Arnold Schwarzenegger in William Shakespear’s King Lear!

First, if you’d like to buy any of these original paintings, just contact Drew. The paintings generally cost between $15,000 and $300,000 each. If you decide to buy, feel free to send me a 10% finders fee. Thanks!

Contact information for purchase of original artwork:

Secondly, Shakespear vs Schwarzenegger: check it out. Struzan was contacted by Universal Pictures to do artwork for a new version of King Lear, not for an actual release, but for a cardboard standup which would appear in the San Diego havoc scene of Jurrasic Park II: The Lost World. Seen for just a moment before the T-rex crushed bus smashes through the video rental store window. – the original artwork still survives.

And now on with the show!

Delve into the vast library you see before you (or below you) and fear and awe in the fact that these were all painted by one man. A man who the film industry loves for basically playing a GIANT role in making these classic films so very iconic.

Plus see if you can find Alice Cooper – Welcome to My Nightmare!
