Illustration is a dying art.
When I was a kid, I still remember VHS cover art in my local Blockbuster and the mom & pop video rental store. You don't see that kind of artwork anymore. The same for movie posters.
Shit even movie trailers used to show not tell if you compare it to the last 15-20 years.
I'm hating this shitsack world cutting corners.
I still have a copy of the tutorial where he paints the Hellboy poster. The only tutorial he ever did, as far as I know. I will treasure it forever. Such amazing talent, skill, and knowledge, all lost now.

I feel this way for anything hand-made. Whether it's artwork or costuming or practical effects.
Yeah I like CGI and other modern conveniences of digital tech, but there was a charm that pre-90s productions had to make do with what they had.
I mean look at the rotoscope of the Terminator chasing Sarah and Reese from the original movie. That shit is more terrifying and realistic than any CGI model can do.

Everyone points out that the Arnold puppet head looks like shit. But that's only when it's shown in bright lighting spoiling the whole gag. In the tanker truck chase, the puppet Arnold looks cool and creepy with the dim lighting and its carved out cheek.

The whole point that Arnold's face falling apart and looking creepy is that it's blatantly obvious the Terminator is the slasher villain ala like Jason Voorhees and his zombie flesh is decomposing due to damage. And yeah it was pretty fucking creepy in dimness.

>My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

I met Drew at a comic expo in Canada a few years ago (2022?) and no one knew who he was. He had a booth near e-celebs and pro cosplayers and people must of assumed he made fanart or some shit.
I got to talk with him for a good 45 minutes, the man who illustrated my childhood. Goonies, adventures in babysitting and all the stuff already posted above. I had him sign my 1978 star wars "circus poster" which he made for the theatrical re-release before empire. Apparently that is George Lucas' favorite movie poster of all time and the original art is hanging in his office. Pic related. He was a delightful human being and was just happy to have someone to talk to.

Even if there is, who is going to notice him from under the avalance of all the bad Photoshop and AI slop? And by some miracle something unique pops up, that style and voice will be immediately consumed the AI maw and regurgitated back as infinite soulless variations and copies until it all loses its meaning.

Also in march Enzo Sciotti died. His Blue Velvet poster was absolute kino.

the mid to late 90s is when we started to see really shitty, low-effort posters of actors badly photoshopped holding onto non-existent objects or standing around in a void. being cheaper aside, it just showed the masses genuinely did not care about high-quality illustration and it's a fucking shame. movie tickets were unaffected and that's all the beancounters saw

I think it's because Struzan mixed a lot of mediums together - paint, markers, colored pencils etc. You couldn't quite place what kind of painting it was at a glance, but it looked unique, and bit unreal, and always fantastic. Also, his best paintings all spark imagination with little details like action scenes tucked at a side somewhere, yet it all melds cohesively and clearly sends a message that this film must be fucking cool.

This is all you have to look forward to in the future. Imitation. Repetition. If everyone can go look at everything everyone ends up seeing the same things. The smaller the niche the more thoroughly it will be collated, categorized and packaged for consumption. You don't rent some ransom movie and find a gem. You find a genre and consume it top to bottom as it's already been organized for you by those who came before to facilitate your consumption.
People used to exist in local bubbles. There was a lot of variation is experience. This leads to diversity of ideas. Now everyone is in the digital gulag. We're going to be on a hamster wheel of the same soulless shit until the end of time or the end of the system. There will be no new art until the wheel of time turns.

I bought so many shitty-camcorder art tutorial DVDs in the 2000s, including that one. Theyβre comfy as shit.
I canβt remember if thatβs where he tells the story of finding his art for the Adventures in Babysitting poster face down on a wet floor in some studio outbuilding, and taking it home and restoring it. That stuck with me.

It's not his fault and I hope you're not conflating goiter with gout which would also not be his fault. It doesn't help that some preservationists called their version of SW "the gout" for George's Original Unaltered Trilogy" that many fans have taken to mean that he actually has the disease, of which he does not have.
tl;dr He's just old and fat and he's entitled because he's in his freakin 80s.

Or maybe Struzan or Lucas chose which picture he wanted to be painted because it was a flattering shot.

Me too but it was only last year I think when they informed everyone about it. It may have been this year. I collect screen prints and the company Bottleneck Gallery that Struzan would get prints done by and sign them upon release said The Goonies was the last release he'll sign due to his health. But no one said what it was. I have a few prints signed by Drew.

As famous as Drew with notoriety? None. But there are plenty of great posters artists still today that get small commission groups for posters. I'll see if I can post some I own from my phone.
