Drew Struzan
Drew Struzan (born 1947) is an American artist.
Struzan has painted album covers, advertising, collectibles, and
book covers, but he is best known for his extensive movie poster
work.
Popularly known by his signature first name on
his work, Struzan is one of the industry's most recognized talents,
having provided artwork for over 150 movie posters, including many
of the best-known films of all time. A particular favorite artist
of film directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Struzan created
distinct and indelible images for many of their film releases, with
Spielberg decreeing that Struzan be the only artist allowed to render
the space-creature character E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Spielberg says that Struzan is his "favorite
movie artist"; Lucas has called him "the only collectible
artist since World War II"; and the Boston Globe called him
"the greatest poster artist of our day".
