Illustrator Drew Struzan’s hand-painted posters for Star Wars, Indiana Jones and The Thing became instant classics because, as fans often say, “When you saw one Struzan, you immediately wanted to see more.” His lush brushwork and dramatic lighting defined the look of 1980s blockbusters.

Struzan spent decades blending traditional painting with Hollywood marketing, producing more than 150 posters that now hang in museums and private collections. Retired since 2013, he rarely accepts new commissions, yet demand for his originals keeps rising at auctions.

Collectors and new filmmakers alike credit his images with reminding audiences of the power of analog art in a digital age.
