OMG! 😭 Like, I’m, like, SOOOO devastated to announce that Drew Struzan, the dude who painted, like, ALL your fave movie posters, totally ghosted us yesterday, October 13th. 💀 I know, right? As if 2023 couldn’t get any worse! 🙄 But, like, on the bright side, he apparently told someone (whoever runs his Insta, I guess?) that he knew we, like, REALLY REALLY loved his art. So, ya know, at least he died happy? 🤷♀️
Okay, okay, for realsies though, Drew Struzan kicked the bucket at 78. 🎉🥳🍾🥂 Good innings mate. I guess we should pretend to be sad or something? 🥺 I mean, he did paint a bunch of posters for those movies you probably haven’t watched since you were a little kid. 👶🍼🧸
But let’s be real, the dude’s basically famous for, like, FIVE posters he did for some totally tubular movies back in the 80s and 90s. 📼🕹️👾 He did other stuff too, I guess. Like, book covers and album art? 📚🎶 Who even reads books or buys albums anymore? 😂 But whatever, he could, like, totally nail an actor’s face. 🎭 Or, like, make ’em look all extra and stuff. 🤡 Some of his posters are, like, photorealistic. 📸 Others look like someone barfed rainbows all over the canvas. 🌈🤮 But hey, he always knew what a poster needed to sell tickets to a movie you’d probably torrent anyway. 🏴☠️
