What do you even say about a giant like Drew Struzan except study him. Go make some marks, some actual marks, with pencils and paints and an airbrush if you’ve got one hanging around. Everything you could ever need to learn about this craft is in his work.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss πŸ’”

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

The eye's actually look right on this figure. On the other ones it's like looking into the void.

I thought I would do a thread to reply to the below pal because there is a lot to consider about being autistic and feeling comfortable with people. It’s something I have thought a lot about recently πŸ’˜πŸ§΅

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I had no idea that the phrase β€œBack to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

On the day of Robert Redford's passing, do yourself a favor tonight and rediscover the often overlooked 80's hacker thriller "Sneakers." Amazing cast, great script, fun performances from everyone.

Brilliant and ridiculously prescient scene between Redford and Kingsley’s 60s activists who’ve both taken very different paths since in the wonderful Sneakers:

That government emergency alert they just sent out across the uk seems poorly designed.

It wont stop beeping loudly until you delete it, and it's hard to read, especially while it's beeping, but if you delete it you can't read what it said.

Nothing says "I have no reason to silence these women or fear what they will say" quite like ordering military aircraft to fly over and disrupt their press conference.

Initial attempts to rinse it off have proven unsuccessful; the oily residue on your hand has stolen all coherent thought from your mind, and all you want is for someone to flay you alive so you never have to experience a Texture again.
