How would anyone walking by this poster, or DVD cover know that this was the artist responsible for the posters for cinema masterpieces like Star Wars, Harry Potter, E.T., Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and more??? The foreground should have been a bunch of his characters from his most famous works and let the page curl reveal Drew behind it at least, he owns all his art so clearance would have been easy. Why wasn't the DREW in the title Drew's famous signature!? This does nothing for me and I think it's an embarrasment for Drew's son, who clearly did not catch all the apples that were falling from his father's tree.

Sounds like a lot of bitter jealousy from art directors who will remain unknown and will die unknown, leaving no mark and creating nothing memorable.

Sorry, but Drew was Amsel-light. He could trace really well and had a flare with the white prismacolor, but as has been said, he's hardly more important than Alvin or Peak.

So, for those who are harping out, claiming that this should have been an illustration, who would you have illustrate it? Drew is retired, so anyone who would illustrate it would have to mimic his style and would simply not be the same as a real Drew poster and would do it no real justice. Why can't you dolts recognize this?

This is dreadful. Lousy, tasteless photoshop job. It could use a proofread, too - "A personal look at the the most important etc". Sloppy!

I think they made a huge mistake with the copy, because the people who know who Struzan is also know there are better and far more important illustrators than Drew. Rockwell takes my vote

The thing he seems to be best at is self promotion. Well said SAY WHAT!

I like Drew Struzan's work, but to claim he is the most important illustrator in the past 100 years is a gigantic overstatement. He is no more important than John Alvin was in regards to entertainment advertising. As far as illustration in general, he should be ashamed to put himself in the same league as Lyendecker, Rockwell, Cornwell, Parish, Pyle, Flagg and Wyeths. As an artist you should never put yourself ahead of your masters. Do you think Vermeer said he was more important than Rembrandt. Jesus this claim makes me irate. I'm an illustrator who had a great teacher, and never in 1,000 years would i consider my self more important than them. Hew drew go tell Mucha and Lautrec to suck it while your at it. Give me a break, the chutzpah!

"Drew, for your illustrious career and numerous contributions to the history of key art, we award you with...MORE GOTHAM"

JOHN ALVIN, RICHARD AMSEL, BOB PEAK, CHARLIE WHITE III, STEVE CHORNEY, BIRNEY LETTICK, MIKE McGINTY,KUNIO HAGIO...ALL LIVED AND WORKED AT THE SAME TIME. LOOK THEM UP...DREW WAS AWESOME BUT NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT

For one of the greatest movie poster illustrators of our time, this is a pretty boring design.

"the most important illustrator (besides Norman Rockwell and like 5 or 6 other guys) of the last 100 years"
