Drew Struzan

Birthdays, Deaths | Mar 18, 1947 - Oct 13, 2025

Drew Struzan was an American artist and commercial illustrator. During his career, Struzan painted more than 150 movie posters, including those for The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones franchise, Back to the Future, Harry Potter, and Star Wars film series. Along with posters, he also painted album covers, collectibles and book covers.

Struzan was known for his airbrushed one-sheets style, a process he began early in his career while designing posters for B movies. The technique was admired by film directors including Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, both frequent collaborators. During his career, he was awarded a Saturn Award in 2002 and an Inkpot Award in 2010. He also received several lifetime achievement honors such as the 2014 Saul Bass Award, the 2016 Sergio Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Comic Art Professional Society (CAPS), and was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2020.
