The reaction to my Raiders of the Lost Ark lobby poster has been overwhelmingly positive. As I've said elsewhere, embarking on this project was not an easy task given Richard Amsel and Drew Struzan's long association with the franchise. I was painfully aware that this is regarded by some as hallowed ground so, I tread as carefully and respectfully as I could while at the same time, trying to make something that was unique to my taste and artistic style.
The fact that this piece now becomes part of Indy history is truly satisfying both professionally and personally, I couldn't ask for a greater honor.
Sadly, I haven't been able to attend an IMAX showing but I was especially delighted to receive this photograph taken at a special screening at Paramount Studios on Friday.
You know what movie Steven Spielberg should convert to IMAX next? Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.
I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and for your kind words mate...
As luck would have it my art just happened to be there and they were kind enough to stop and pose.. Can't get much better than that!
Actually I think they were very rude to photobomb my artwork
